In each blank, try to type in the
word that is missing. If you've
typed in the correct word, the
blank will turn green.
If your not sure what answer should be entered, press the space bar and the next missing letter will be displayed. When you are all done, you should look back over all your answers and review the ones in red. These ones in red are the ones which you needed help on. Question: Pulmonary OedemaAnswer: LVF or myocardial dysfunction = ↓ in SV & ejection fraction
Leads to ↑ in & L atrial pressure
∴ pulm capillary pressure ↑ due to hydrostatic pressure overcoming oncotic pressure=fluid forced into alveolus
Impaired Pulmonary compliance
Surfactant: Question: AnaphylaxisAnswer: Severe, life threatening, systemic, allergic reaction to a previously encountered antigen, characterised by syptoms of Airways, GIT & CV , resulting in CV and/or Respiratory Collapse.: Sebsequent exposure>Reaction with Mast >degranulation>mediator release
Airways = oedema and plugging
Skin and CV = vasodilation and ↑ in capillary permeability
GIT = N/V/cramping Question: Reaction Answer: Similar to Anaphylaxis, but NO systemic involvement. Hypersensitivity reaction to a encountered antigen, resulting in a non-systemic, non-life threatening localised reaction : Question: Abdominal Aneurysm Answer: Ballooning of a weakened section of vessel wall on the abdominal aorta. Typically below level of lumbar vertebrae, potentially causing &/or rupture of aorta, leading to profound shock and mortality. : Question: DysreflexiaAnswer: Life threatening, uncontrolled sympathetic reflex in patients with SCI at T6 or above, in response to external or visceral stimuli below the lesion . Causes imabalance between SNS and PNS, resulting in conditions associated with severe hypertension: Question: Pulmonary Embolus Answer: Occlusion of the Pulmonary vasculature by: thrombus, tissue fragment, fat or air. Impact depends on the extent of pulmonary flow obstructed,: V/Q mismatch: lung able to be ventilated but unable to partake in respiration due to the occlusion. Ventilation without oxygenation of blood supply Question: COPDAnswer: Obstructive Pulmonary Disease characterised by difficult : Question: Croup Answer: Laryngotracheobronchitis, causing acute inflammation and at the narrow glottic and subglottic region of the upper airway. Leading to airway obstruction, associated respiratory distress and hypoxia. : S/S - seal-bark cough, agitation, distress, cyanosis, spO2<92%, marked respiratory muscle use (sever), (late) Question: SepticaemiaAnswer: Rapid progressive, life-threatening systemic inflammatory response to a bacterial infection as it enters the blood . Marked by fly-like symptoms, red petechial rash, resulting in multiple organ failure and CV collapse: Question: Answer: A reversible hyperinflammatory disease of the small airways mediated by multiple trigger factors cause mast cell degranulation and of inflammatory mediators. This is marked by mucosal oedema, bronchospasm and mucosal plugging.: Triggers: pollution, URTI, allergen, cold air, drugs, exercise, stress/emotion |
