Anatomy
This body system includes the bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support the body and allow movement.
What is the musculoskeletal system?
This disease involves the small airways becoming acutely narrowed, often causing wheezing and shortness of breath.
What is asthma?
This injury occurs when a bone breaks but does not pierce the skin.
What is a closed fracture?
This manual airway maneuver is commonly used to open the airway when spinal injury is not suspected.
What is the head-tilt, chin-lift?
This term means the delivery of oxygen and glucose to cells, and the removal of waste products, through the supply of blood.
What is perfusion?
This anatomical term means “closer to the midline of the body.”
What is medial?
This serious neurological emergency is caused by excessive abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
What is a seizure?
This chest injury occurs when air enters the space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse.
What is a pneumothorax?
This mechanical airway may be used only in a patient who is completely unresponsive.
What is an oropharyngeal airway (OPA/oral airway)?
When cells do not have enough oxygen, they switch from aerobic metabolism to this less efficient process.
What is anaerobic metabolism?
This large blood vessel carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
What is the aorta?
This life-threatening condition occurs when the body cannot maintain adequate blood flow to the tissues and organs.
What is shock?
This type of burn affects only the outer layer of skin and usually causes redness and pain.
What is a superficial burn?
This airway adjunct is contraindicated in patients with a basilar skull fracture or severe facial trauma.
What is a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA/nasal airway)?
This is the approximate amount of blood ejected by the heart in one minute at rest, according to your presentation.
What is 5 litres per minute?
This membrane-lined space contains organs such as the stomach, liver, spleen, and intestines.
What is the abdominal cavity?
This diabetic emergency occurs when the body cannot properly use glucose, causing high blood sugar, dehydration, and altered mental status over time.
What is hyperglycemia?
In an adult, the entire head and neck account for this percentage of total body surface area.
What is 9%?
When a patient has an adequate respiratory rate but inadequate tidal volume, this treatment is required.
What is assisted ventilation?
This term describes the relationship between the amount of ventilation the alveoli receive and the amount of perfusion through surrounding capillaries.
What is the V/Q ratio?
This structure separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and plays a major role in breathing.
What is the diaphragm?
This condition happens when a specific organ or tissue does not get enough oxygen-rich blood.
What is ischemia?
This life-threatening condition occurs when pressure builds inside the skull after a head injury, leading to decreased GCS less than 9, unequal pupils, and possible posturing.
What is herniation syndrome?
According to your presentation, a healthy body responds primarily to changes in this when regulating respiration.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
According to your presentation, blood pressure is determined by cardiac output multiplied by this factor.
What is systemic vascular resistance (SVR)?
