Running head: HLTH211-MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY IP Tommie Brown May 15‚ 2011 American InterContinental University • Describe an overview of the key anatomical parts of the respiratory system and how it works. • Describe possible diagnostic or surgical procedures associated with the respiratory system that are not mentioned in the Q&A section of this unit. • Include at least 10 medical terms including anatomy‚ diagnostic‚ and surgical terms. o Do an in-depth analysis of 5 of these terms
Premium Respiratory system Respiration Oxygen
Nitrous Oxide (N20) Nitrous Oxide (N20)‚ also known as laughing gas‚ is the only inorganic anesthetic gas in clinical use. Nitrous oxide was first prepared in 1773 by Joseph Priestley‚ an English clergyman and scientist‚ who ranks among the great pioneers of chemistry. Humphry Davy in 1798 performed brilliant investigations of several gases but focused much of his attention on nitrous oxide. Davy commented that nitrous oxide transiently relieved a severe headache‚ obliterated a minor headache

examination‚ cardiovascular testing‚ and consideration of family history (Summary of Diagnostic Criteria). Treatment depends on the individual’s symptoms and where the manifestations have occurred. Some manifestations may become life threatening‚ such as pneumothorax or aortic aneurysm‚ so diagnosis and subsequent treatment to prevent complications is critical (How Is Marfan Syndrome Treated). Marfan syndrome is a very serious disease that affects the connective tissues found throughout the body. Resulting

CARDIOVASCULAR Dsyrhythmias * Etiology * Disturbances in automaticity – initiation of impulse is altered * Disturbances in conduction – alteration in the speed the impulse travels * Reentry of impulses – cardiac tissue is depolarized multiple times by the same impulse * Speed‚ distance and location can be changed or affected (blockages cause change in heart rhythm) * Risk factors * Cardiovascular disease‚ MI * MI – death of tissue – no electricity

During the physical examination‚ we were unable to elicit findings typical of pneumonia such as dullness on both the lower lung fields‚ crackles‚ and increased breath sounds. We attributed this to the medications that were already taking effect on the day prior to conducting the physical examination. Administration of antibiotics and expectorants relieves the pulmonary congestion by reducing the bacterial load and purging the mucus that clogs the bronchi. The resolution of the disease in the patient

Measuring and Assessing Patient Safety Neribel Claudio HCA 375 John Gomillion July 25‚ 2010 Measuring and Assessing Patient Safety Patient safety is such an essential part of our health care system and it helps describe quality health care. Keeping the patients safe is a challenging issue because errors and mistakes can and do happen every day. Error occurs “when a process does not proceed the way that it was intended by its designers and managers” (McLaughlin & Kaluzny 2006)
