| costal respiration | Respiration effected chiefly by the action of the intercostal and other muscles that raise the ribs, causing expansion of the chest. Synonym: costal respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |

| positive-pressure respiration | A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange. (12 Dec 1998) |
| positive-pressure respiration, intrinsic | Non-therapeutic positive end-expiratory pressure occurring frequently in patients with severe airway obstruction. It can appear with or without the administration of external positive end-expiratory pressure (positive-pressure respiration). It presents an important load on the inspiratory muscles which are operating at a mechanical disadvantage due to hyperinflation. Auto-peep may cause profound hypotension that should be treated by intravascular volume expansion, increasing the time for expiration, and/or changing from assist mode to intermittent mandatory ventilation mode. (12 Dec 1998) |
| puerile respiration | An exaggeration of the normal respiratory sounds, heard in children and in adults after exertion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stertorous respiration | Harsh, noisy breathing usually heard in an comatous patient. Synonym: stertorous breathing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nitrate respiration | The process of respiration used by some anaerobic organisms, in which nitrate rather than molecular oxygen is used to oxidise organic molecules to obtain energy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfate respiration | The process of respiration used by some anaerobic organisms, in which sulfate rather than molecular oxygen is used to oxidise organic molecules to obtain energy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffusion respiration | Maintenance of oxygenation during apnea by intratracheal insufflation of oxygen at high flow rates. Synonym: apneic oxygenation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal respiration | The interchange of gases between the blood and the tissues. Synonym: internal respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interrupted respiration | The inspiratory sound being broken into two or three by silent intervals. Synonym: interrupted respiration, jerky respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic respiration | Respiration effected chiefly by the action of the intercostal and other muscles that raise the ribs, causing expansion of the chest. Synonym: costal respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tissue respiration | The interchange of gases between the blood and the tissues. Synonym: internal respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophrenic respiration | The rhythmical electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve by an electrode applied to the skin at the motor points of the phrenic nerve; it is used in paralysis of the respiratory centre resulting from acute bulbar poliomyelitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubular respiration | High-pitched bronchial respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jerky respiration | The inspiratory sound being broken into two or three by silent intervals. Synonym: interrupted respiration, jerky respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
