About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the BCEN CEN exam provide a focused review of respiratory terminology, measurement techniques, and common conditions.

Clinical topics include obstructive and infectious diseases (COPD, TB, NTM, CAP, HAP, VAP, RSV), acute emergencies like PE and ARDS, and sleep-disordered breathing (OSA). Practical devices and therapies such as MDI, ICS, ETT, CPAP, BiPAP, and PEEP are also emphasized to build exam-ready recognition of devices and therapies.
