Respiratory Aspiration of Gastric Contents
|
D063466 |
[Inhaling refluxed gastric or duodenal contents.
] |
|
Respiratory Burst
|
D016897 |
[A large increase in oxygen uptake by neutrophils and most types of tissue macrophages through activation of an NADPH-cytochrome b-dependent oxidase that reduces oxygen to a superoxide. Individuals with an inherited defect in which the oxidase that reduces oxygen to superoxide is decreased or absent (GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE, CHRONIC) often die as a result of recurrent bacterial infections.

Respiratory Care Units
|
D012124 |
[The hospital unit in which patients with respiratory conditions requiring special attention receive intensive medical care and surveillance.

|
Respiratory Center
|
D012125 |
[Part of the brain located in the MEDULLA OBLONGATA and PONS. It receives neural, chemical and hormonal signals, and controls the rate and depth of respiratory movements of the DIAPHRAGM and other respiratory muscles.

|
Respiratory Dead Space
|
D012126 |
[That part of the RESPIRATORY TRACT or the air within the respiratory tract that does not exchange OXYGEN and CARBON DIOXIDE with pulmonary capillary blood.

Respiratory Distress Syndrome
|
D012128 |
[A syndrome characterized by progressive life-threatening RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY in the absence of known LUNG DISEASES, usually following a systemic insult such as surgery or major TRAUMA.

|
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
|
D012127 |
[A condition of the newborn marked by DYSPNEA with CYANOSIS, heralded by such prodromal signs as dilatation of the alae nasi, expiratory grunt, and retraction of the suprasternal notch or costal margins, mostly frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers, and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no apparent predisposing cause.

Respiratory Function Tests
|
D012129 |
[Measurement of the various processes involved in the act of respiration: inspiration, expiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, lung volume and compliance, etc.
] |
|
Respiratory Hypersensitivity
|
D012130 |
[A form of hypersensitivity affecting the respiratory tract. It includes ASTHMA and RHINITIS, ALLERGIC, SEASONAL.

Respiratory Insufficiency
|
D012131 |
[Failure to adequately provide oxygen to cells of the body and to remove excess carbon dioxide from them. (Stedman, 25th ed)
] |
|
Respiratory Mechanics
|
D015656 |
[The physical or mechanical action of the LUNGS; DIAPHRAGM; RIBS; and CHEST WALL during respiration. It includes airflow, lung volume, neural and reflex controls, mechanoreceptors, breathing patterns, etc.
] |
|
Respiratory Mucosa
|
D020545 |
[The mucous membrane lining the RESPIRATORY TRACT, including the NASAL CAVITY; the LARYNX; the TRACHEA; and the BRONCHI tree. The respiratory mucosa consists of various types of epithelial cells ranging from ciliated columnar to simple squamous, mucous GOBLET CELLS, and glands containing both mucous and serous cells.

|
Respiratory Muscles
|
D012132 |
[These include the muscles of the DIAPHRAGM and the INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES.
] |
|
Respiratory Paralysis
|
D012133 |
[Complete or severe weakness of the muscles of respiration. This condition may be associated with MOTOR NEURON DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; injury to the PHRENIC NERVE; and other disorders.

|
Respiratory Physiological Phenomena
|
D012143 |
[Physiological processes and properties of the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM as a whole or of any of its parts.
] |
|
Respiratory Protective Devices
|
D012134 |
[Respirators to protect individuals from breathing air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors.
] |
|
Respiratory Rate
|
D056152 |
[The number of times an organism breathes with the lungs (RESPIRATION) per unit time, usually per minute.
] |
|
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia
|
D065809 |
[A naturally occurring variation in heart rate that occurs during a BREATHING cycle, where the time between heartbeats is shortened during inspiration and prolonged during expiration. It is not the same as SINUS ARRHYTHMIA, the disorder.
] |
|
Respiratory Sounds
|
D012135 |
[Noises, normal and abnormal, heard on auscultation over any part of the RESPIRATORY TRACT.
] |
|
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections
|
D018357 |
[Pneumovirus infections caused by the RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUSES. Humans and cattle are most affected but infections in goats and sheep have been reported.
