oxygen
instrument of measurement
External monitor that measures the oxygen saturation level in the blood
Spirometry
spiro =
meter =
to breath
instrument of measurement
Noninvasive test in which a patient breathes into a device to measure “breath”

ive =
against, opposing
coughing
performs
Agent administered to prevent or relieve coughing

trache =
ostomy =
trachea
to make an opening
Surgical formation of an opening into the trachea through the neck
Cystic Fibrosis
cyst =
-ic =
fibr =
osis =
bladder, bag
pertaining to
connective tissue
disease
Disorder of the exocrine glands marked by difficulty in breathing due to mucus accumulation in airways

pain
sharp pain in the side usually located in the intercostal muscles
Pulmonologist
pulmon =
-ologist =
lung
specialist
a physician who specializes in the diseases and disorders of the lungs and respiratory system
Hyperventilation
hyper =
ventilation=
excessive, overactive
process of exposing to air
Abnormally rapid rate of deep respiration results in a change in blood gas levels due to decrease in carbon dioxide at the cellular level
Bradypnea

sleep
the process of recording
technique or process of using a polygraph to make a continuous record during sleep of multiple physiological variables, such as respiration, heart rate and muscle activity
Atelectasis
a =
tele =
ectasis =
without
distant, far
stretching, enlargement, dilation
Collapse of an expanded lung, usually due to air passages being blocked or by shallow breathing
