FOUND CHPT 21 VOCAB

The rate at which het is produced when the body is at rest

Respirations that are shallow for two or three breaths with a period of variable apnea

The pulse rate multiplied by the stroke volume

Respirations that gradually become more shallow and are followed by periods of apnea with repitition of the pattern

Temperature deep within the body

Abrupt decline in fever

Abatement of fever

Normal, relaxed breathing pattern

A stage of fever in which the body temperature rises to the new set point established by the hypothalamus and remains there until there is resolution of the cause of the fever

A pattern of breathing in which there is an increase in the rate and depth of breaths and carbon dioxide is "blown off," causing the blood level of the carbon dioxide to fall

Sounds that relate to the effect of arterial wall vibrations during auscultation of blood pressure

Respirations having an increased rate and depth with panting and long, grunting exhalations

Breakdown, disintegration

Feel

Deficit between the apical and radial pulse

The difference between and systolic and diastolic pressure

Fever; when a body temperature rises above 100.2

A substance that causes fever

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs and tissues, which is initiated by the act of breathing

continous dry, rattling sounds heard on auscultation of the lungs; caused by partial obstruction

Condition of circulatory failure

Snoring sound produced when patients are unable to cough up secretions from the trachea or bronchi

Shrill, harsh sound on inspiration; caused by obstruction of the upper air passages, as occurs in croup or laryngitis

The volume of blood pushed into the aorta per heartbeat

A high-pitched whistling sound of air forced past a partial obstruction, as found in asthma or emphysema
