Question
Answer
3 classic symptoms of lung disease, and major causes of each   show
🗑
differential for cough mostly at night   show
🗑
show infection/inflammation  
🗑
show ACUTE: pneumococcal pneumonia; CHRONIC: bronchitis, TB  
🗑
differential for cough associated with fever/chills   show
🗑
differential for seasonal cough   show
🗑
show GERD, post-nasal drip (allergies), bronchitis, asthma, ACE-I usage  
🗑
causes of cough with abnormal CXR   show
🗑
differentiate between hemoptysis and hematemesis   show
🗑
differential for hemoptysis associated with fever, chills, weight loss   show
🗑
show infarct (PE), vasculitis, pneumonia  
🗑
show bronchitis  
🗑
differential for massive (100 - 600 mL) hemoptysis   show
🗑
differential for SOB   show
🗑
differential for dyspnea with lying down   show
🗑
differential for DOE   show
🗑
show infection  
🗑
differential for dyspnea with wheezing   show
🗑
differential for dyspnea with pleuritic chest pain   show
🗑
differential for PND   show
🗑
classic association of barrel chest   show
🗑
show overworked diaphragm (e.g. from COPD) > intercostal muscles take over; now instead of diaphragm contracting during inspiration (pushing abdomen out), moves up: abdomen moves IN during INspiration - sign of respiratory failure, needs mechanical ventilation  
🗑
key components of pulmonary physical exam   show
🗑
show accumulation of deoxyhemoglobin in the cutaneous vessels, or congenital heart disease leading to Eisenmenger's physiology (R > L shunting)  
🗑
causes of peripheral cyanosis   show
🗑
show moving toward side of lower lung volume (e.g. alectasis, consolidation with obstruction); moving away from side of massive pleural effusion or tension pneumothorax  
🗑
use of accessory muscles: general implication   show
🗑
implication of decreased inward retraction of intercostal muscles during expiration   show
🗑
implication of increased outward bulging of intercostal muscles   show
🗑
show massive pleural effusion (pushes on lungs from outside, preventing lungs from filling)  
🗑
show rounding of distal phalanx, nail floating on finger: chronic hypoxia, due to shunts (congenital heart disease), liver disease, endocarditis, chonic renal insufficiency, etc. that causes distal deposition of megakaryote fragments usually filtered by lung  
🗑
show asymmetric expansion of one side of chest wall during inspiration; due to unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, pneumothorax, bronchial obstruction  
🗑
show obstruction in bronchi (blocks sound - e.g. atelectasis from mucous plugging, consolidation w/CLOSED bronchus), displacement of lung away from chest wall (pneumothorax, massive pleural effusion) or diaphragmatic paralysis (no air entering that lung field)  
🗑
implications of asymmetric increased fremitus   show
🗑
causes of dullness to percussion   show
🗑
causes of hyperresonance on percussion   show
🗑
implications of impaired diaphragmatic excursion   show
🗑
manifestations of lung consolidation with closed bronchus   show
🗑
manifestations of lung consolidation with open bronchus   show
🗑
show hyperresonance to percussion  
🗑
show decreased inward retraction/bulging intercostal muscles during expirat. (more positive P on lungs from pleural fluid), contralateral tracheal deviation, splinting, decreased fremitus, dullness to percussion, focally decreased breath sounds +/- pleural rub  
🗑
bronchophony: definition, pathophysiology   show
🗑
present and absent breath sounds in diseased lung   show
🗑
show COPD, asthma, foreign body, consolidation, pneumothorax, pleural effusion; all interrupt sound impulse traveling through bronchi and alveoli to chest wall due to bronchial/alveolar disease process  
🗑
show (besides obesity) COPD, diffuse restrictive/obstructive lung diseases = generalized lung disease interrupting sound impulse traveling through bronchi and alveoli  
🗑
describe stridor, and pathophysiology   show
🗑
describe rhonchi, and pathophysiology   show
🗑
show continuous high frequency noise in both inspiration and expiration; caused by COPD, asthma, foreign body with obstruction, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, external airway compression  
🗑
describe crackles (rales), and pathophysiology   show
🗑
differential for fine crackles   show
🗑
patients that may think they have crackles, but don't   show
🗑
show creaky sound heard throughout respiration, caused by pleural inflammation - LOUDER during inspiration (unlike rhonchi, all over lungs and = during inspiration and expiration); etiologies include pleural effusion, TB, cancer  
🗑
differential for "rust-colored" sputum   show
🗑
