- 74Sputum CultureMicrobial test on mucus secretion from lungs
- 75Arterial Blood GasBlood from artery- test measures dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in arterial blood
- 76Ventilation - perfusion (VQ) scanRadioactive materials
Nuclear test scan that evaluates both air flow (ventilation) and blood flow (perfusion) in the lungs for evidence of a blood clot in the lungs also called a VQ scan- checks blood flow to tissues - 77Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA)Process of recording - x Ray in slices (lungs and vessels)
CT scan combined with angiography to produce images - 78Tracheostomyopening in the neck into the trachea and insert a tube
- 79Thoracentesissurgical puncture and drainage of the pleural cavity; also called pleurocentesis
- 80SeptoplastyNose job- surgical repair of deviated septum
- 81PheumectomyExcision of a lung or a portion of the lung, commonly done for treatment of cancer
- 82Pleurectomyexcision of part of the pleura, usually the parietal pleura
- 83Endotracheal intubationputting tube in the trachea- need assistance in breathing
- 84Spirometrymeasures breathing capacity of the lungs including the time necessary for exhaling the total volume inhaled
- 85Pulmonary Function TestEvaluate respiratory function, the ability of the lungs to take in and expel air as well as perform gas exchange across the alveolocapillary membrane
- 86Postural Drainagedrainage of secretions from the bronchi and lobes of the lungs
- 87PolysomnographyProcess of recording sleep cycles and stages
- 88OximentryMeasuring O2 level by the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen; also called pulse oximentry
- 89Aerosol therapytreatment using air to dispurse medication in the form of mist
(breathing treatment) - 90Mediastinoscopy (middle of sternum)Visual examination using a scope to view the heart, trachea, esophagus, bronchus, thymus and lymph nodes
- 91Laryngoscopyvisual examination of the larnyx (voice box) to detect tumors, foreign bodies, nerve or structural injury, or other abnormalities
- 92Bronchoscopyvisual exam of bronchus by endoscope
- 93Mantoux TestTB Test
- 94ExpectorantsLiquefy respiratory secretions so that they are more easily dislodged during coughing episodes- prescribed for productive coughs
- 95decongestantsconstrict blood vessels of nasal passages and limit blood flow, which causes swollen tissues to shrink so the air can pass more freely through the passageways
- 96Corticosteroidsact on the immune system by blocking production of substances that trigger allergic and inflammatory actions
- 97Bronchodilatorsstimulate bronchial muscles to relax thereby open airways resulting in increased airflow
- 98AntitussivesRelieve or suppress coughing by blocking the cough reflex in the mededulla of the brain
- 99AntihistaminesBlock histamines from binding with histamine receptor sites in tissues- histamines cause sneezing, runny nose, itchiness and rashes
