Pulmonary embolism
Has pain in his chest, and tightness, also has trouble breathing

Case 2:
Croup or pneumoconiosis, or asthma, he's a child, renovating a house, lots of dust accumulating in lungs
atopic
Terms:
COPD- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder
Chronic Bronchitis-Inflammation of bronchi persisting over a long period of time
CT scan-Computer generated series of x-ray images show structures in cross sections and other planes
Central airway- The bodies central airway is the trachea
Stable lung function- this means the lungs are performing correctly without any problems
lower lobe airway- This is an airway in the lower lobes of either the right or left lung
tracheobronchial tree-This is the branching of airways beginning of the larynx and extending into the lungs and bronchioles
low lung function-forced expiratory volume, which increases chance for heart disease
airway structure- these are any structures that oxygen passes through on its way through the respiratory system
Branch variants- these are just differences in branches of the tracheobronchial tree

Use an X-ray to look for a collapsed lung
Signs to look for are tears in the lung, or any trauma

Case 2
Asthma or pneumoconiosis
Could be caused by the release of asbestos while renovating the old house]]> 2018-01-22 18:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/denise_canby/rgrcxjsokyvk/wish/223475783 raina ashita saba ananya https://padlet.com/denise_canby/rgrcxjsokyvk/wish/223477340 case 1: cor pulmonale because the tightness in the center of his chest is a result of the pulmonary artery pressure rising. the right side of his chest is in pain because the heart must work harder to pump blood.
case 2- pneumconiosis/asbestosis because he was exposed to renovating an old house and could have asbestos particles in his lungs.

Chronic Respiratory Failure:
-Ventilator Support =  a tool for artificial breathing.
-Oxygen Therapy =  Additional oxygen is given through a nasal cannula or a mask.
-Tracheostomy =  This is when a hole is surgically made in the front of the neck and through to the windpipe. A small tube is placed in the hole to provide oxygen when the pharynx cannot fails.
-Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) = uses mild air pressure to keep your airways open while you sleep using a mask to fit over the nose and mouth.
-CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) = helps to open up airways while sleeping. It is a type of NPPV that can also aid Sleep Apnea.
-Endotracheal Tube = Goes through patients mouth and into the windpipe to provide oxygen to the lungs.
-Nasogastric Tubes = a thin tube that is inserted through the nostrils and all the way to the stomach. This helps to provide a resting or comatose patient with nutrients and to remove toxic substances or stomach contents.
-Chest x-ray = projection of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest.Helps find underlying problems.
-Electrocardiogram (EKG) = A test that detects and records the heart's electrical activity. 
-Arrhythmia/Auscultation = Doctors may listen to chest to see if you may have arrhythmia because it is often caused by lack of oxygen body.

- Mucolytics- Break down mucus
- Pneumocystis 
pneumonia(Jirovecii) (PCP)- Caused by yeast- like fungus. Causing lung disease in weak immune patients.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa-  infection occurs in patients at the hospital or weakened immunity.
- Staphylococcus aureus- most important bacteria. can cause bloodstream infections, pneumonia, or joint/bone infections
- Asthma- Chronic bronchial inflammatory disorder due to bronchial edema and increased mucus production.
- Pulmonary- pertaining to lungs.

Pulmonary Embolism- A condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot.
deep vein thrombosis - blood clots form in the deep veins of the body—most often in the legs.
V Leiden-   An inherited blood-clotting disorder due to a mutation of the blood's factor V protein.
 Thrombolytics - medicines that can quickly dissolve a blood clot
Anticoagulants - blood thinners, decrease your blood's ability to clot.
Venous thromboembolism- This term is used for both pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.
Echocardiography -This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of your heart. Doctors use echo to check heart function and detect blood clots inside the heart.
perfusion scan- uses a radioactive substance to show how well oxygen and blood are flowing to all areas of your lungs.
Pulmonary angiography - 
For this test, a flexible tube called a catheter is threaded through the groin (upper thigh) or arm to the blood vessels in the lungs. Dye is injected into the blood vessels through the catheter. X-ray pictures are taken to show blood flowing through the blood vessels in the lungs. 
D-dimer test -used to help rule out the presence of an inappropriate blood clot (thrombus).
Chest MRI -This test uses radio waves and magnetic fields to create pictures of organs and structures inside the body. MRI often can provide more information than an x ray.

Exhalation- breathing out
Respiratory- relating to respiration
ECAC- Expiratory central airway collapse
SOB- shortness of breath
Exacerbations- increase in severity of disease (Ex:  exacerbation of asthma)
Airflow Obstructions- feature of COPD
CT scan- X-ray images taken from different angles
Bronchoscopy- visual examination of the bronchi (allows doctor to look at airways)
Emphysema- hyperinflation of air sacs
