Question
Answer
When an infant inhale a foreign body, there’s   an equal chance of it going to either side of the lungs  
🗑
Obstructive lung dz, the problem is in   expiration, a passive process  
🗑
Air gets in, but then it gets trapped in   bronchitis, emphysema, asthma- jet black on the XR- diaphragm is compressed  
🗑
Restrictive lung dz   pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary edema, alveolar pneumonia, kyphoscoliosis, neuromuscular weakness  
🗑
Consolidation   air is replaced with fluid and so it becomes denser- solidified- sound is transmitted better- more fluid or less air- decreased air to fluid ratio- alveolar pneumonia and left ventricular failure  
🗑
With consolidation, you hear what   bronchial and bronchovesicular sounds in the peripheral area, and you hear bronchophony, and egophony and whispered pectoriloquy- tactile fremitus is ↑- ask for a chest XR  
🗑
Atelectasis   collapse of the alveoli- segment of the lung- lung becomes more dense- consolidation- physical obstruction  
🗑
Pneumothorax   air tension enters the pleural space- loses it’s negative space  
🗑
Tension pneumothorax   medical emergency-  
🗑
Pleural effusion   accumulation of fluid in the pleural space- may be protein rich or poor depending on mechanism of production- may compress the underlying lung-  
🗑
Emphysema you find   tachypnea, use of accessory ms, barrel shaped chest, pursed lip, ↑tri pod position, ↓expansion, ↓tactile fremitus, hyperresonance, low lying diaphragm, breath sounds decreased, early crackles, diminished transmission of voice sounds  
🗑
CHF you find   tachypnea, accessory ms use, cyanosis, ↑JVP, edema, fremitis normal or ↑ lung bases bilaterally, bilateral wheezing, voice sounds normal or ↑ bilaterally, late inspiratory crackles ….  
🗑
Reason to hospitalize pt for pneumonia   respiratory distress/ tachypnea… unable to speak… RR 32  
🗑
Pneumonia you find   tachypnea, respiratory distress, possible cyanosis, fever, ↑ tactile fremitus, percussion will be dull in the area, broncho veicular and bronchial in the peripheral areas, wheezing, increased voice sounds- over the area of the consolidation  
🗑
Lobar atelectasis   dyspnea, tachypnea, decreased expansion on that side, absent or ↓tactile fremitus, trachea deviates to one side,↓resp excursion, absent lung sounds, no voice sounds do XR CT  
🗑
Pleural effusion you find   tachypnea, ↓expansion on affected side, …. PERCUSS THIS ONE- dull to flat- lung sounds absent,tactile fremitus decreased, trachea to side  
🗑
Pneumothorax you find   tachypnea, ↓expansion on affected side, do chest XR CT, absent tactile fremitus on affected side, ↓excusion on affected side, trachea deviated away from lg pneumothorax, air surrounding lung is hyperresonant, lung sounds transmitted diminished  
🗑
Always look at what with a respiratory pt?   respiratory rate  
🗑
PND or orthopnea = what   CHF  
🗑
Dull to percussion is what   left sided pleural effusion this would be dullness to one side otherwise percussion/resonance doesn’t mean anything  
🗑
Acute bronchitis   infection in an otherwise healthy chest- 90% viral- just do something for the cough  
🗑
Pulmonary embolism   elevated hr, pt has hx, sudden SOB (immobility, long flight, birth control, hx of DVT)- D-dimer excludes without dx  
🗑
COPD   diminished breath sounds- also tripod position  
🗑

To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
