A viral inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory system that may cause a partial airway obstruction and is characterized by a barking cough; usually seen in children.
A substance that causes an allergic reaction.
This syndrome occurs in the absence of physical problems. The respirations of a person who is experiencing hyperventilation syndrome may be as high as 40 shallow breaths/min or as low as only 20 very deep breaths/min. This syndrome is often associated with panic attacks.
A method of ventilation used primarily in the treatment of critically ill patients with respiratory distress; can prevent the need for endotracheal intubation.
Virus that has crossed the animal/human barrier and has infected humans, recently reaching a pandemic level with the H1N1 strain
An acute spasm of the smaller air passages, called bronchioles, associated with excessive mucus production and with swelling of the mucous lining of the respiratory passages.
Collapse of the alveolar air spaces of the lungs.
An infectious disease in which a pseudo-membrane forms, lining the pharynx, this lining can severely obstruct the passage of air into the larynx
A bacterial infection in which the epiglottis becomes inflamed and enlarged and may cause upper airway obstruction.
Verticales
Normal breath sounds made by air moving through the bronchi.
An odorless, colorless, tasteless, and highly poisonous gas that results from incomplete oxidation of carbon in combustion.

Shortness of breath
A buildup of excess acid in the blood or body tissues that can result from a primary illness
A disease of the lungs in which there is extreme dilation and eventual destruction of the pulmonary alveoli with poor exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide; it is one form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
A buildup of excess base (lack of acids) in the body fluids.
Severe dyspnea experienced when lying down and relieved by sitting up.
Rapid, usually deep, breathing that lowers the blood carbon dioxide level below normal.
An acute or chronic inflammation of the lung that may damage lung tissue; usually associated with cough and production of sputum and, depending on the cause, sometimes fever.
A respiratory disease caused by the virus SARS-Cov-2. The virus is a coronavirus, similar to the one that causes the common cold.
A condition in which chronically low levels of oxygen in the blood stimulate the respiratory drive; seen in patients with chronic lung diseases.
A blood clot or other substance in the circulatory system that travels to a blood vessel where it causes a blockage of blood flow.
An extreme, life threatening, systemic allergic reaction that may include shock and respiratory failure.
A lung disease characterized by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible.
A miniature spray canister used to direct medications through the mouth and into the lungs.
