Respiratory

QuestionAnswer
Patho for Pulmonary embolism clot travels-lodges in the pulmonary vessels
Patho for Pleural effusion fluid accumulated in the pleural space
Patho for Respiratory failure inadequately oxygenated blood or remove carbon dioxide
Patho for ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome lung inury-inflammatory mediators (cytokines) released, increased cap permeability-alveloi fill with protein rich fluid, decreased surfactant-alveolar collapse(atelectasis), decreased lung compliance-stiff lungs, refractory hypoxemia.
Patho for pneumothorax collapsed lung, air leaks into pleural space-loss of neg pressure-lung collapses, decreased lung expansion-decreased gas exchange
Patho for tension pneumothorax air leaks into chest cavity and can't escape-life threatening, air enters on inspriation and trapped during desperation.
Patho for hemo pneumothorax blood in chest cavity causes collapsed lung
Patho for flail chest fx of two or more ribs-unstable rib cage
Causes of P.E. DVT, prolonged immobility, central venous catheters, Sx within 3 months
Causes of pleural effusion pneumonia, TB, CHF, chest trauma, renal failure,
causes of respiratory failure Infection, COPD, aspiration, tumor, asthma, parital/complete collapse of the lung, pnuemonia, shock, covid, pneumothorax, hypoventilation, MG
cause of ARDS lung injury: sepsis, PE, shock, aspriations, severe inflammation from covid-cytokine storm, aspirate gastric contents
clinical manifestations for pneumothorax sudden dyspnea, blunt chest trauma, complications fo medical procedures, hyperresonance to percussion, asymmetrical chest expanision
clinical manifestations for tension pneumothorax severe resp distress, tracheal deviation to opposite side, JVD, hypotension, cyanosis, absent breath sound on affected side, blunt chest trauma, PEEP
clinical manifestations of hemo pneumothorax decreased breath sounds on affected sides, dullness to percussion, signs of shock, blunt chest trauma, penetrating injuries
cause of flail chest blunt chest trauam, CPR
S and Sx of P.E. respiratory alkalosis (hyperventilation), JVD-due to increased pressure in the hearts Rt ventricle, Increased B/P
s/sx of Pleural effusion friction rub-grating sound in chest like walking on snow, pain on inspiration
clinical manifestations for Respiratory failure respiratory acidosis, hypoxemic, use of accessory muscles,
clinical manifestations of ARDS normal lung sounds, non pulmonary edema, hypoxemia even with 100% O2 sats, diffuse crackles, refractory hypoxemia, frothy sputum
s/sx of pneumothorax decreased or absent breath sounds on one side, asymmetrical chest movement
s/sx of tension pneumothorax JVD, trachial deviation, decreased cardiac output pressures
s/sx of hemo pnemothorax percussion produced dull sounds
s/sx of flail chest paradosical chest wall movement
Medical treatment for P.E. Heparin, lovonox, TPA, emoblectomy, IVC, catscan
Medical treatment for pleural effusion xray, thoracentesis,
Medical treatment for respiratory failure MDI, vent, corticosteroids, O2
Medical treatment for ARDS xray, vent with PEEP, TPN, or tube feed, treat underlying problems
Medical treatment for Pneumothorax o2 therapy, chest tube insertion(thoracostomy) xray, CT, chest tube
Medical treatment for tension pneumothorax immediate emergency decompression, needle decompression, followed by chest tube(thoracostomy) xray, CT, chest tube, needle thoracostomy
Medical treatment for hemo pneumothorax volume replacement, monitor for bleeding, treat shock-montior H&H, xray, CT, chest tube, thoracotomy
Medical treatment for flail chest vigilant reapiratory care with humidification, vent if needed with PEEP
PEEP positive end expiratory pressure positive pressure exerted on expiration
PIP Peak airway inpsiatory pressure vent to deliver a set tidal volume, highest pressure reached during inspirations
