This percentage increases with supplemental oxygen. This value is commonly given as a decimal (Ex: room air is 21% O2, so FiO2 = 0.21).

Glottis ✔✔True vocal cords and space between them Hemoglobin ✔✔A protein Hilum ✔✔Point of entry for bronchial vessels, bronchi, and nerves in lung Hypoxemia ✔✔Deficiency in the concentration of oxygen in arterial blood. Hypoxia ✔✔Inadequate oxygenation of the cells Orthopnea ✔✔Dyspnea relieved by a change in position, SLEEPING UPRIGHT with pillows, usually CHF pulmonary edema problem. Oxyhemoglobin ✔✔Hemoglobin with oxygen bound to it Partial pressure ✔✔Pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) ✔✔Amount of pressure above atmospheric pressure present in the airway at the end of the expiratory cycle Respiration ✔✔Exchange of gas Saturation of peripheral oxygen ✔✔SpO2 Sellick maneuver ✔✔Technique used to compress the cricoid against the cervical vertebrae, occluding the esophagus Surfactant ✔✔Specialized cells that keep alveoli from collapsing Tracheal stoma ✔✔Surgical opening in neck Tracheostomy ✔✔Surgical creation of a hole in the anterior trachea for breathing Uvula ✔✔Fleshy tissue resembling a grape that hangs down from soft palate Vallecula ✔✔Depression or pocket between the base of the tongue and the epiglottis Ventilation ✔✔Mechanical process of moving air Alveoli ✔✔Functional units of the respiratory system. Area in the lungs where the majority of the gas exchange takes place Aspiration pneumonitis ✔✔Inflammation of the bronchi and alveoli caused by inhaled foreign objects. Bacterial tracheitis ✔✔Potentially serious bacterial infection of trachea Barotrauma ✔✔Injury that results from rapid or extreme changes in pressure Bronchiolitis ✔✔Acute infectious inflammatory disease of the upper and lower respiratory tracts that results in obstruction of the small airways Bronchitis ✔✔Inflammation of the lower respiratory tract Bronchopulmonary dysplasia ✔✔Respiratory condition in infants usually arising from preterm birth Carbon Dioxide narcosis ✔✔Mostly seen in COPD where CO2 is excessively retained causing ALOC Carpopedal spasm ✔✔Cramping of extremities from hyperventilation Circumoral paresthesia ✔✔A feeling of tingling around lips Collapsed lung ✔✔Brooks sucks Costochondritis ✔✔Inflammation of the cartilage in the anterior chest that is painful Cystic Fibrosis (CF) ✔✔Genetic disease marked by hyper-secretion of glands, including mucous in lungs Emphysema ✔✔Destruction of the alveoli Esophagoduodenoscopy ✔✔Endoscope is used to look at the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum Hamman's sign ✔✔Crunching sounds occasionally heard on the heart when air is in mediastinum Mainstem bronchi ✔✔Each of two main breathing tubes off the trachea Mediastinitis ✔✔Infection in the mediastinum Mediastinoscopy ✔✔Surgical procedure of looking into mediastinum with an endoscope NCPE (Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema) ✔✔Fluid collection in the alveoli of the lung that does not result from heart failure Ostomy ✔✔A hole, usually referring to a surgically made hole.
