Hyperinflation Therapy Crossword

The collapse of lung parenchyma.
Process of encouraging bedridden patient to take deep breaths to avoid atelectasis.
Device used to deliver negative pressure that fits over the thorax.
A device partially filled with water that patients exhale into to prevent atelectasis.
The partial or complete occlusion of the airway by thick mucous.
Type of atelectasis that can develop when ventilation is compromised to a larger airway or bronchus.
Mechanical ventilation performed without intubation or tracheostomy, usually with mask ventilation.
Bed that rocks back and forth moving the abdominal contents up and down facilitating inspiration and expiration.
Ventilatory assist device that applies positive pressure to the abdominal contents during expiration.
Position in which the head is low and the body and legs are on an inclined plane.
Type of atelectasis that occurs when there is a complete interruption of ventilation to a section of the lung or when there is a significant shift in V/Q.
All modes of lung expansion therapy increase lung volume by increasing this type of pressure gradient.
Type of device that measures and visually indicates the degree of inspiratory flow.
An absolute contraindication of IPPB.
Damage to the lung caused by overdistention by a mechanical ventilator set for an excessively high tidal volume.
Method of ventilator support whereby the patient breathes spontaneously without mechanical assistance against threshold resistance, with pressure above atmospheric maintained at the airway throughout breathing.
Full body pressure ventilator.
Physical injury sustained as a result of exposure to ambient pressures above normal, most commonly secondary to positive pressure ventilation.
Another term for dynamic hyperinflation.
Switching from abdominal to ribcage breathing.
Condition involving loss of the capacity to develop force of the velocity of a muscle resulting from muscle activity overload, which is reversible by rest.
Application of positive pressure to the airway during exhalation.
Application of positive airway during inspiration.
Measure of the output of the expiratory muscles against a maximum stimulus, measures in cm H2O positive pressure.
Measure of the output of the inspiratory muscles against a maximum stimulus, measure in cm H2O negative pressure.
