Question
Answer
Permanent dilation and distortion of bronchi and or bronchioles   Bronchiectasis  
🗑
Seen in Cystic Fibrosis, asthma and bronchities if severe   Bronchiectasis  
🗑
Cough with large sputnum, hemoptyis, malise, fatigue, DOE signs of what   Bronchiectasis  
🗑
DX: *CT scan of th ebronchi showing the dilated airways*   Bronchiectasis  
🗑
Collapse of aveolie which were previously expanded, commonly associated with different pulmonary diseases   Atelectasis  
🗑
NI: TCDB, ambulation, incentive spirometer, Chest PT if ordered,   Atelectasis  
🗑
Greatest Risk for Pulmonary Embolism   Immobilized patients with heart failure, long bone fractures, abdominal surgery, others: Preg, varicose, Ca, obestity, sickel cell anemia.  
🗑
Most common risk for Pulmonary Embolism   Detached Deep Vein Thrombi  
🗑
Virchow's Triad: 3 factors predispose person for a thrombus formation:   Damanged venous epithelium, Venus Statis, Hypercoagubility of blood (from surgery, increarsed pltelet, trauma, dyhydration).  
🗑
Occlusion of Pulmonary Artery:   Pulmonary Embolism carried in blood stream for a veinor right side of the heart to the lungs.  
🗑
VQ Scan:   Diminished or absent radioacivity suggest lack of perfusion or air flow greater than 1.  
🗑
Signs of Pulmonary Embolism   Increase RR, HR, and DECREASE BP. *GENERLIZED CHEST DISCOMFOR AND PLUEURITIC TYPE CHEST PAIN CRUSHING SUSTERNAL CHEST PAIN AND TACKYCARDIA*  
🗑
DX of Embolism:   Difficult mimics other disorders VQ scan, ABG's *PULMONARY ATERIOGRAPHY IS DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS*  
🗑
Treatment Embolism   Ambulation, elevation, leg exercise, elastic stockings, hydration, low dose heparing sc, asprin and coumadin  
🗑
What to give with decrased BP with Embolsim:   Dobutamine or Dopamine IV  
🗑
Drugs Embolism:   Streptokinase, Urokinase TPA, Throbolytics are quicker than heparin but higher risk for bleeding *Monitor PT*  
🗑
Greenfield Filer for what   Embolism, inserted in Vena Cava allows blood to flow but prevents passage of thrombi  
🗑
NI Embolism:   Check Homans sign, RR, Chest Pain, JVD.  
🗑
What is Normal Systolic Pulmonary Pressure?   Less than 12 mm Hg  
🗑
What is Normal Dystolic Pulmonary artery pressure?   20-30 mm Hg  
🗑
PA pressure greater than 30/16 is what   Pulmonary Hypertension  
🗑
Increase resistance to blood flow in the pulmonary vessels resulting increased pulmonary artery pressure:   Pulmonary Hypertension  
🗑
Cause of Pulmonary Hypertension   Emphysema, hypoxemia, chronic bronchitis  
🗑
DX of Pulmonary Hypertension   Heart catheterization, lung scans, pulmonary angiography  
🗑
NI Pulmonary Hypertension   Adequate oxygenation, monitor RR  
🗑
Severe hypoxemia and decreased lung compliance due to pulmonary edema, Not heart failure   Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, ARDS is life threatening.  
🗑
Cause of ARDS   injury to lung, cuases increased pulmonary vascular permeability.  
🗑
At risk for ARDS   CABG, sepis, transfussions, CVA, brain tumor, ICP, Smoke inhalation  
🗑
Latent Stage of ARDS   1st stage: damage at the level of cell membranes  
🗑
Interstitial Edema Stage of ARDS   2nd stage: aveoli elasticity reduced, dyspnea, increase RR, restlessness  
🗑
Acute Intra Aveolar Edema stage of ARDS   3rd stage: fluid accumulation around the aveoli and aveoli becomes flooded, decrease mental status  
🗑
Fibrotic Stage of ARDS   4th stage: scarring occurs and pt remains hypoxemic, despite aggressive 02 and mechanical ventilation  
🗑
DX ARDS   ABG, CXR, DECREASING PA02, INCREASING PaCO2  
🗑
Lesion in mostly lower lobes lead to brochogenic carcinoma or pulmonarry fibrosis   Abestosis  
🗑
Silicosis   Coal miners disease, silca nodules in lungs especially upper lobes  
🗑
Black Lung   Prolonged exposure to coal dust.  
🗑
Complications of Black Lung   Pulmonary Hypertension and severe destructive lung disease  
🗑
NI Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis   Fowlers postion, ventilators, space activities, rest periods  
🗑
Fractured Ribs:   Perforates lung causing hemothorax, pneumothorax, and laceration of liver, lung and spleen DX: XRAY  
🗑
What to avoid with factured Ribs   Narcotics, decrease respirations, heal 3-6 weeks Do not wrap chest  
🗑
Flail Chest   when 3 or more ribs are fractured in 2 or more places, causing free floating rib segments  
🗑
NI Flail Chest   Watch for pneumothorax, hydration, 02  
🗑
Pneumothorax   Air enter the pleural space from the lung, increased intrapleural pressure can be from Emphysema  
🗑
Tension Pneumothorax   Air leaks into the pleural space during inspiration but prevented from escaping during exhalation therfore air pressure increases = MEDIASTINAL SHIFT, impairing venous return.  
🗑
When would you hear a sucking sound audible on inspiration with varying degress of respiratory distress on severity   Tension Pneumothorax  
🗑
Accumulation of blood in the pleural space, from internal bledding   Hemothorax  
🗑
SS: Mediastinal shift, signs of shock, Increased HR, Increased RR, decrased BR, Pallor   Hemothorax  
🗑
Chest tube tor restablish intra pleural pressure as well as drainage in a hemothorax   Hemothorax Chest Tube, or Thoractomy  
🗑
NI: Hemothorax & Pneumothorax   RR, 02 sats, assess respiratory, observe for dyspnea, assess for deviation of the trachea  
🗑
Crushing and brusing of the lung   Pulmonary Contusion  
🗑
DX of Pulmonary Contusion   Hx of trauma, CXR reveal area of atelectasis  
🗑
Neoplasms   Lung Cancer  
🗑
Management Neoplasms   Decreased fluid if damaged vessels, antibiotics to prevent septicemia, high fowlers  
🗑
Air which has escaped lung enters subcutaneous tissue. Popping sounds under skin   Subcutaneous Emphysema  
🗑
Squamous Cell Neoplasms   From large bronchi, obstruction of airways, spread to bowel and thorax, poor prognosis.  
🗑
Adenocarcinoma Neoplasms   Most Common. Arise in lungs, spread to brain  
🗑
Large Cell Carcinomas   Arise in Peripheral Bronchi, mass tumor, spread to CNS  
🗑
Small Cell Carcinomas   Most malignant of lung cancers, they metastasize early via blood stream and lymph system, secrete ADH 9 antidiuretic hormone leads to hyponatremia.  
🗑
SS Neoplasms   Blood tinged sputnum, wheeze, chest pain, hoarse, anorexia, wt lose, anemia.  
🗑
DX Neoplasms   CXR CT MRI, Confirmed sputnum cytology or biopsy or broncoscopy  
🗑
Treatment Subcutaneous Emphysema    
🗑
