Question
Answer
D’amato Scopy    
🗑
Routine laryngoscopy is used when?   chronic cough, dysphonia, chronic throat pain, dysphaphia, voice changes, aspiration symptoms  
🗑
Urgent laryngoscopy is used when?   difficult airway, angioedema, epitaxis, cervicofacial trauma, stridor, suspected foreign body  
🗑
High risk pts who should be laryngoscopied   pt w/ear pain, hoarseness, sore throat (particularly when >2wks)  
🗑
Laryngoscopy must be performed with care in which pts?   epiglottitis  
🗑
Direct laryngoscopy is used when?   intubation and anesthesia; voice problems; Ear/Throat pain; swallowing issues; airway obst.  
🗑
Complications of l.scopy   vocal cord or laryngeal damage (arytenoids dislocation), damage to teeth, bleeding, infection  
🗑
Dx uses for bronchscopy   persistent/unexplained cough; blood in sputum, abnormal chest x-ray; possible lung infection  
🗑
Tx used of bronchoscopy   foreign body removal, stenting of collapsed airway; mass or growth-used for removal if blocking airway  
🗑
Limitations of laryngoscopy?   Can’t see: laryngeal ventricle; piriform sinus apex; Retrocricoid mucosa; subglottic anatomies  
🗑
What do you use if laryngoscopy isn’t cutting it?   bronchoscopy (done in OR)  
🗑
Dr. D intubation    
🗑
Describe the 2ndary bronchial divisions   R and L; R superior/middle/inferior lobar bronchus; L sup/inf lobar bronchi  
🗑
Describe the secondary bronchi   B1-3 sup. lobe; B4-5 middle lobe/lingual; B6-B10 inf. lobe  
🗑
Annular ligaments   intercartilaginous lig. of trachea (btw tracheal rings)  
🗑
What’s imp about R/L main stem bronchi angle?   R angle is more vertical& larger diameter so aspirated objects go R more commonly  
🗑
Boundaries of mediastinum?   Sup: thoracic inlet->Angle of Ludwig (T4-5);Inf: Post->T11; Ant; T9; Middle: cardiac  
🗑
When to intubate?   respiratory mechanics fail (flail chest, rib fx); Glasgow coma score <8; depressed mental status ; laryngeal edema, can’t protect airway, pts’ own respiration isn’t working  
🗑
Types of intubation   orotracheal, nasotracheal, cricothyroidotomy; tracheostomy  
🗑
Dis/advantages orotracheal intub.   easiest, larger tubes can be used; avoid sinusitis/nare injury ; but pt must be sedated  
🗑
Dis/advantages nasotracheal   sedation not needed; don’t have to move pt; but sinusitis and nare damage can occur  
🗑
Disadv. Cricothyroidotomy   complications: esophageal perforation; bleeding/hemorrhage; subcutaneous emphysema  
🗑
Contraindications to cricothyroidotomy   didn’t attempt oro/naso; massive trauma to larynx/trachea  
🗑
Indications to cricothyroidotomy   oro/naso failed; facial trauma; too much blood in nose/mouth; airway blcked; pt anatomy hard  
🗑
Needle cricothyroidotomy is used when?   kids airway obstruction; temporary-adults till can get them to OR for cric/trach  
🗑
Tracheostomy advantages   lower pressure; no larynx/vocal cord damage; nursing care simpler; extubation less serious; suction more direct; good when vent weaning is slow  
🗑
Tracheostomy disadvantages   tracheal necrosis risk; infection risk; can’t reposition as easily; seal not as good as translaryngeal cuffs  
🗑
Convert from translaryngeal to tracheostomy when?   3 days to months depending on if long term intubation is planned  
🗑
What’s the dif. Dx for coin lesions?   infection, cancer, inflammatory nodules, congenital anomalies, benign growths  
🗑
What determinates make one think malignant lung?   large, rapidly growing, smoker, speculated, non calcified  
🗑
What determinates make one think benign lung?   small (<1cm, calcified, +skin test  
🗑
What tools are used to dx lung cancer?   bronchoscopy, fine needle aspiration cytology, chest xray, sputumcytology, Mediastinoscopy, PET scan  
🗑
What is Pulmonary TB?   mycobacterium tuber.; necrotizing pneumonia which can necrotizes hilar nodes  
🗑
Pulmonary TB tx?   RIPE rifampin; isoniazid; pyrazinamide; ethambutol  
🗑
Empyema   collection of pus between lung and chest wall  
🗑
When to do surgery?   empyema; hematosis regularly; >5 mo duration post tx; lung mass infected with TB; drug resistanc  
🗑
Bronchiectasis   dialation of bronchi (usually distally) often caused by infection; presents with chronic, bloody cough  
🗑
Benign lung tumors are which?   harmatoma; lipoma; granuloma; fibroma; sclerosing hemangiona; hemangiopericytoma  
🗑
What is the most common lung cancer?   non-small cell adenocarcinoma: presents typically as non-operable disseminated 2/3  
🗑
How much does chemo and rad inc survival chances with use of sx?   5-15%  
🗑

🗑
Spontaneous pneumothorax   bleb in upper lobe ruptures; pleuritic chest pain, tall thin males most common, reoccurs  
🗑
Thymomas most common where?   anterior mediastinum  
🗑
