| 2681793753 | alveolar ventilation | the amount of air that reaches the alveoli | 0 | |
| 2681796349 | artificial ventilation | forcing air or oxygen into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has inadequate breathing. Also called positive pressure ventilation |  | 1 |
| 2681800293 | bag-valve mask | a handheld device with a face mask and self-refilling bag that can be squeezed to provide artificial ventilations to a patient. it can deliver air from the atmosphere or oxygen from a supplemental oxygen supply |  | 2 |
| 2681808633 | cellular respiration | the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and circulating blood | 3 | |
| 2681811655 | cyanosis | a blue or grey color resulting from the lack of oxygen in the body |  | 4 |
| 2681815603 | diffusion | a process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |  | 5 |
| 2681819665 | flowmeter | a valve that indicates the flow of oxygen in liters per minute |  | 6 |
| 2681822598 | flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device | a device that uses oxygen under pressure to developer artificial ventilation. its a trigger is placed so the rescuer can operate it while still using both hands to maintain a seal on the face. it has a automatic flow restriction to prevent over delivery of oxygen to the patient. | 7 | |
| 2681835367 | humidifier | a device connected to the flowmeter to add mositure to the dry oxyfen coming from an oxygen cylinder |  | 8 |
| 2681837885 | hypoxia | an insufficiency of oxygen in the body's tissue |  | 9 |
| 2681839774 | nasal cannula | a device that delivers low concentrations of oxygen through the two prongs that test in the patient's nostrils |  | 10 |
| 2681842046 | nonrebreather mask | a facemask and reservoir bag device that delivers high concentrations of oxygen, The patient's exhaled air escapes through a valve and is not rebreathed. |  | 11 |
| 2681845151 | oxygen cylinder | a cylinder filed with oxygen under pressure |  | 12 |
| 2681847806 | partial nonrebreather mask | a face mask and a reservoir oxygen bag with no one-way valve to the reservoir bag so some exhaled air mizes with the oxygen; not commonly used in the EMS pre-hospital setting | 13 | |
| 2681852570 | pocket mask | a device, usually with a one-way valve, to aid in artificial ventilation. a rescuer breathes through the valve when the mask is placed over the patient's face. it also acts as a barrier to prevent contact with a patient's breath or body fluid. it can be used with supplemental oxygen when fitted with an oxygen inlet. | 14 | |
| 2681887860 | positive pressure ventilation | see artificial ventilation | 15 | |
| 2681888949 | pressure regulator | a device connected to an oxygen cylinder to reduce cylinder pressure so it is safe for delivery of oxygen to a patient |  | 16 |
| 2681893849 | pulmonary respiration | the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulation blood in the pulmonary capillaries | 17 | |
| 2681897761 | respiration | the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the blood and between the blood and the cells. also used to mean, simply, breathing | 18 | |
| 2681900498 | respiratory arrest | when breathing completely stops | 19 | |
| 2681901398 | respiratory distress | increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of breath | 20 | |
| 2681902255 | respiratory failure | the reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen intake is not sufficient to support life | 21 | |
| 2681903719 | stoma | a permanent surgical opening in the neck through which the patient breathes | 22 | |
| 2681906357 | tracheostomy mask | a device designed to be placed over a stoma or tracheotomy tube to provide supplemental oxygen |  | 23 |
| 2681908081 | ventilation | breathing in and out or artificial provisions of breaths | 24 | |
| 2681909222 | venturi mask | a face mask and reservoir bag device that deliver specific concentrations of oxygen by oxygen with inhaled air. |  | 25 |
