A period of not breathing.
Slow, gasping respiration,
sometimes seen in dying patients.
These respirations are not sufficient
to support life.
Occurs when a foreign body
completely obstructs the patient's
airway. Patients cannot breathe,
talk, or cough. Cough is ineffective.
The introduction of vomitus or
other foreign material into the
lungs.
A process in which molecules move
from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower
concentration.
Pressure on the cricoid cartilage;
applied to occlude the esophagus in
order to inhibit gastric distention
and regurgitation of vomitus in the
unconscious patient.
A dangerous condition in which the
body tissues and cells do not have
enough oxygen.
A condition in which air fills the
stomach, often as a result of high
volume and pressure during
artificial ventilation.

The active, muscular part of
breathing that draws air into the
airway and lungs.
A "backup system" to control
respiration; senses drops in the
oxygen level in the blood.
The biochemical processes that
result in production of energy from
nutrients within the cells.
A restriction in blood supply,
generally due to factors in the blood
vessels, with resultant damage or
dysfunction of tissue.
A curved piece of plastic inserted
over the tongue that creates an air
passage way between the mouth
and the posterior pharyngeal wall.
Airway that is inserted through one
nostril to create an air passage
between the nose and the
nasopharynx. The NPA is
preferred to the OPA in conscious
patients because it is better
tolerated and less likely to induce a
gag reflex.
Movements in which the skin pulls in
around the ribs during inspiration
A side-lying position used to
maintain a clear airway in
unconscious patients without
injuries who are breathing
adequately.

The amount of air that is exchanged
with each breath.
An abnormal pattern of breathing
characterized by period’s rapid
deep respirations followed by
periods of apnea.
A technique that is used to prevent
gastric distention in which pressure
is applied to the cricoid cartilage;
also referred to as cricoid pressure.
The ability of the alveoli to expand
when air is drawn in during
inhalation.
Difficulty breathing.
The passive part of the breathing
process in which the diaphragm and
the inter-costal muscles relax,
forcing air out of the lungs.
A partial or complete accumulation of
air in the pleural space.
A system established for portable
cylinders to ensure that a regulator
is not connected to a cylinder
containing the wrong type of gas.

Exchange of air between the lungs
and the environment, spontaneously
by the patient or with assistance
from another person, such as an
EMT-B.
An opening through the skin and
into an organ or other structure; a
stoma in the neck connects the
trachea directly to the skin.
Wetting agents that lower the
surface tension of a liquid,
allowing easier spreading, and
lower the interfacial tension
between two liquids.
The volume of air moved through
the lungs in 1 minute; calculated by
multiplying tidal volume and
respiratory rate.
These are low pitched, snore-like
sounds. They are caused by airway
secretions and airway narrowing.
They usually clear after coughing.
Swelling of any organ or tissue due
to an accumulation of excess fluid
without an increase of the number
of cells in the affected tissue.
