Pleural Disease
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| collections of fluid in the pleura? | pleural effusion |
| collection of air in the pleura? | pneumothorax |
| inflammation of pleura w/o fluid? | pleuritis |
| Adheres to chest wall blood from systemic capillaries lymphatic drainage innervated (pain)? | parietal pleura |
| adheres to lung covers each lobe blood from bronchial arteries limited lyphatic drainage no innervation (no pain)? | visceral pleura |
| parietal and visceral pleura meet at _____? | hila |
| What occurs if fluid drainage < fluid formation? | pleural effusion |
| What is not an end dx, but a symptom and complication of another condition? | pleural effusion |
| Exam? Decreased breath sounds, dullness to percussion, decreased fremitus at level of effusion; +/-increased breath sounds above | pleural effusion |
| True or False? Pleural effusions are always abnormal | True |
| What is cuased by either excess production of fluid or decreased drainaged of fluid? | pleural effusion |
| Type of Pleural Effusion? -Disorders of hydrostatic and/or oncotic forces -Fluid seeps from vessels/interstitium (or is squeezed out) -Paucicellular | transudative |
| Types of Pleural effusion? -Disorders of inflammation -Fluid exudes through wide gaps between cells -Rich in cells | exudative |
| Causes what type of effusion? Congestive Heart Failure Nephrotic Syndrome Hypoalbuminemia Cirrhosis Pericardial Disease Myxedema Pulmonary Embolus Sarcoidosis | transudative |
| imbalance of hydrostatic and oncotic forces allowing fluid to leave the cells in the interstitial? | third spacing |
| Cuases what type of effusion? Long List: all condition cause some sort of inflammatory response, cell growth, or cell turnover. | Exudative |
| Conditions that can cause both transudative and exudative effusion? | PE, Sarcoidosis |
| ? -Bedside procedure -Sterile technique -Needle OVER rib | thoracentesis |
| Amount of fluid for diagnostic thoracentesis? | 10-20cc |
| Amount of fluid for therapeutic thoracentsis? | up to 1L |
| Classic way to differentiate between transudative and exudative? | light's criteria |
| Pleural fluid rich in protein and LDH, indicate what type of effusion? | exudative |
| Exudative effusion list narrowed becuase of? Complicated parapneumonic, esophageal rupture, rheumatoid arthritis, T.B., malignancy, lupus, urinothorax, paragonimiasis | pH < 7.2 |
| Exudative effusion list narrowed becuase of? Parapneumonic, malignant, T.B., rheumatoid arthritis, hemothorax, paragonimiasis, Churg-Strauss | glucose < 60 mg/dl |
| Bacterial infections --> empyema and some malignant effusions, need what tx? | chest tube |
| Do transudative effusions need a chest tube? | no |
| True or false? must analyze the pleural fluid to determine the type of effusion? | true |
| Physical signs: hyperresonant, diminished tactile and vocal fremitus, and decreased or absent breath sounds? | pneumothorax |
| CXR: peripheral absence of lung markings and the presence of a pleural stripe? | pneumothrorax |
| Type of pneumothorax? -No underlying lung disease -Peak incidence in 3rd decade -Rare after 40 yrs old -Incidence 7.4/100,000/year in males 1.2/100,000/year in females | primary spontaneous |
| Type of pneumothorax? -Blebs usually apical -Sheer forces greater in apices -Spontaneous rupture allows air to reach pleural space | primary spontaneous |
| Conditions cause what type of pneumothorax? COPD Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (AIDS) Tuberculosis Necrotizing pneumonia Cystic fibrosis Asthma Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia Connective tissue disease Pneumoconiosis Lung cancer | secondary spontaneous |
| Penetrating chest injury, blunt chest injury, or iatrogenic cause what type of pneumothorax? | traumatic |
| Type of pneumothorax? -Rapid accumulation of air in pleural space -Associated rise in pleural pressure -This pressure ca n reduce blood flow from vena cava to right heart -Cardiac output drops, further reducing venous return-->SHOCK, DEATH | tension |
| Most common cuase of tension pneumothorax? | mechanical ventilation |
| True or False? if you make dx of tension pneumothorax with CXR, *YOU'RE TOO LATE* | true |
| Presentation of what type of pneumothorax? -Low blood pressure -Absent/decreased breath sounds -Hyperresonance to percussion +/- Tracheal deviation (away from affected side) | tension |
| Management of Tension pneumothorax? | needle decompression (18ga. in 2nd ICS, leave it there) |
| Management options for pneumothorax? -If a pneumothorax is small, limited symptoms -Can add 100% O2 by facemask (promotes resorption of pleural air) -Repeat CXR | observation |
| Managment for pneumothorax? -Almost exclusively for Primary, Spontaneous -3 way valve, syringe inserted into pleural space, aspirate, close valve, empty syringe (repeat) -Stop when feel resistance to aspiration or patient starts coughing -Repeat CXR | needle apsiration |
| Management options for pneumothorax? -larger, more symptoms, more comorbiditieds -more likely for secondary spontaneous | chest tube (tube thoracostomy) |
| true or false? Every pt. w/ pneumothorax on vent gets a chest tube. | true |
| true or false? every pt. on vent gets a chest tube. | false |
| Management options for pneumothorax? -If pneumothorax or air leak persists for 'several' days despite chest tube | refer (to thoracic surgery) |
| Type of management of pneumothorax? -No flying for several weeks -2 weeks may be enough if patient is otherwise healthy -Up to 6 weeks if PTX was traumatic and patient has comorbidities | long term |
| What type of pneumothorax includes a sicker population, who tend to do worse? | secondary spontaneous |
| What type of pneumothorax is treated more aggressively because patients do not tolerate the pneumothorax well and underling disease makes spontaneous resolution difficult? | secondary spontaneous |
| Risk of recurrence of pneumothorax in next 5 years? | 20% |
| Ddx for what? Costochondritis, zoster, rib fracture, other chest wall abnormalities | pleuritis |
| Most common cause of pleuritis? | viral (benign) |
