| positive-negative pressure breathing | Inflation of the lungs with positive pressure and deflation with negative pressure by an automatic ventilator. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| pursed lips breathing | A technique in which air is inhaled slowly through the nose and mouth and exhaled slowly through pursed lips; used by patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to improve their breathing by increasing resistance to air flow, forcibly dilating small bronchi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| shallow breathing | A type of breathing with abnormally low tidal volume. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stertorous breathing | Harsh, noisy breathing usually heard in an comatous patient. Synonym: stertorous breathing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermittent positive-pressure breathing | Application of positive pressure to the inspiratory phase of spontaneous respiration. See: controlled mechanical ventilation (12 Dec 1998) |
| kussmaul breathing | Air hunger. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carotid-cavernous fistula | A fistulous communication, of spontaneous or traumatic origin, between the cavernous sinus and the traversing internal carotid artery; a pulsating unilateral exophthalmos and a detectable cranial bruit are common manifestations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carotid-cavernous sinus fistula | <radiology> Aetiology: laceration of ICA within cavernous sinus; usually secondary to basal skull fractures or penetrating trauma, rupture of an intracavernous ICA aneurysm symptoms: chemosis, conjunctival oedema, bruit findings: focal or diffuse enlargement of cavernous sinus, edematous extraocular muscles, arterial enlargement (pulsating exophthalamus), dilation of superior ophthalmic, facial, and internal jugular veins, occasional sellar erosion/enlargement, enlargement of superior orbital fissure (chronic phase) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cavernous | Relating to a cavern or a cavity; containing many cavities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous angioma | Vascular malformation composed of sinusoidal vessels without a large feeding artery; can be multiple, especially if inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Synonym: nevus cavernosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous arteries | <anatomy, artery> A number of small branches of the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery. See: ganglionic branch of internal carotid artery, basal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery, marginal tentorial branch of internal carotid artery. Synonym: ramus sinus cavernosi arteriae carotidis arteriae, cavernous arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous body of clitoris | One of the two parallel columns of erectile tissue forming the body of the clitoris; they diverge at the root to form the crura of the clitoris. Synonym: cavernous body of clitoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous body of penis | One of two parallel columns of erectile tissue forming the dorsal part of the body of the penis; they are separated posteriorly, forming the crura of the penis. Synonym: cavernous body of penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery supplying the walls of the cavernous sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous groove | The groove on the body of the sphenoid bone in which the internal carotid artery lies in its course through the cavernous sinus. Synonym: sulcus caroticus, carotid sulcus, cavernous groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
