Question
Answer
1. Dyspnea   - murmur  
🗑
2. pneumothorax and p. effusion_______ and atelectasis and tumor________   push away- pull towards  
🗑
3. Rhonchi   - cleared by cough  
🗑
4. Sputum   putrid and rusty- also bronchitis  
🗑
5. Hemoptysis   - scant is bronchitis  
🗑
6. Chest pain questions   - mix and match  
🗑
7. Respiratory distress   - tachypnea- same with pneumonia- xr  
🗑
8. Kussmals (acidosis) and Cheyne stokes (hyperventilation/apnea)    we continue breathing d/t CO2, acidosis/central chemoreceptors and hypoxia/peripheral chemoreceptors  
🗑
9. Inspection of the chest diaphragm   descends during inspiration- active process, and exhalation is a passive process- paradox is (Pigeon) during inspiration the chest goes out and abdomen goes in  
🗑
10. SQ crepitus   is something you feel- Patients with subcutaneous crepitus should all be assumed to have-a PNEUMOTHORAX unless it has been excluded  
🗑
11. Tactile fremitus-   vibration and pneumonia  
🗑
12. Tracheal deviation   - he was supposed to ask this the last time- caused by pneumothorax or pleural effusion, or left sided atelectasis- airway collapse- more room- lung tumors- mass  
🗑
13. Pleural effusion   - dull to percussion d/t fluid beneath- all other percussion/resonance has no significance  
🗑
14. Bronchovesicular and bronchial breath sounds   abnormal when detected over periphery- bronchovesicular and bronchial breath sounds develop whenever there is a ↓ in the air/water ratio of the pulmonary parenchyma/consolidation- pneumonia, atelectasis, pulmonary edema, pulmonary fibrosis  
🗑
15. Lung auscultationTopography    mix and match?  
🗑
16. Wheeze-   expiratory- no wheeze is bad  
🗑
17. Wheezes, crackles, etc…   mix and match???  
🗑
18. Stridor-   emergency obstruction  
🗑
19. Late inspiratory crackles indicate the presence of   interstitial edema (heart failure or pneumonia) or interstitial scarring (pulmonary fibrosis)  
🗑
20. Bronchophony, egophony, whispered pectoriloquy   present in consolidation/pneumonia  
🗑
21. Low pitch and high pitched crackles   bronchitis vs pulmonary fibrosis (Velcro) and pneumonia/edema  
🗑
22. Test question- “In pneumonia, you will also find   normal lung on one side and consolidation on the other side”  
🗑
23. Diaphragmatic excursion is reduced to   2-3cm in copd/p. fibrosis when normally it’s 3-6  
🗑
24. Consolidation    pneumonia and left ventricular failure- atelectasis  
🗑
25. Atelectasis refers to the process where   a segment of lung collapses because air contained within it is reabsorbed into the blood stream. Atelectasis increases water density of lung tissue and produces consolidation  
🗑
26. Pulmonary embolism-   acute dyspnea, hx  
🗑
27. JVD- 2 prominent bulges-   a wave in pulmonary HTN-– absent in atrial fibrillation- too much pressure- and the v wave- tricuspid regurgitation, ASD pericarditis  
🗑
28. Test question- Decrescendo   usually diastolic murmurs as AR & mild MS- loud S1, opening snap- use bell- left lateral w/prego  
🗑
29. When to use the bell   for s3, s4, mitral stenosis murmur- open snap- low pitched sounds  
🗑
30. Systole   MT close (S1) and then AP open Diastole  
🗑
31. Possible Test question- Hand grip   increases the afterload- for regurgitations-will make it louder- goes in an abnormal direction- mitral regurgitation  
🗑
32. Hand grip will put more blood in the heart for   MR, AR and VSD- amyl nitrate does the opposite  
🗑
33. You hear a systolic murmur over the apex- what are 2 conditions   MR ASS Mitral regurg and atrial stenosis- ask pt to squeeze his hand  
🗑
34. Squatting and leg raise   increase preload for thus all murmurs except MVP&HOCM  
🗑
35. Splitting S2   the right side gets filled with inspiration- the pulmonic will have more work to do and closes late because there’s too much pressure- heard on inspiration- longer and louder  
🗑
36. Test ?- Wide split- abnormalities of S2   any condition that increases the pressure or volume on the right side of the heart- pulmonary htn- pulmonic condition happens later and aortic happens earlier so it widens the split.  
🗑
37. Test ?- fixed splitting of s2   the same thing, in inspiration and expiration, it’s the same- asd- atrial septal defect  
🗑
38. Opening snap-   diastolic- (MS)- early diastole- LLSB-click  
🗑
39. Aortic ejection click-   aortic stenosis- heard at the base/everywhere clicks during systole because that’s when it opens and it’s stiff- mitral stenosis is early diastole because that’s when it opens  
🗑
40. Mitral valve prolapse click-   mid systole- leaflets loose when there’s less blood in the heart- blood goes back the other way- the jacket is big when you lose wt- mid systole (closes)- high pitch  
🗑
41. An S1 or S2 caused by a mechanical valve   (following MVR or AVR respectively), will acoustically sound similar to a click- An absent mechanical valve click =valve dysfunction  
🗑
42. Abnormal systolic click   MVP, aortic ejection click  
🗑
43. S3 has very high specificity but low sensitivity for   LV failure, S4 is nothing  
🗑
44. PDA   continuous and mechanical  
🗑
45. Test question   left ventricular gallop S3  
🗑
46. Gallop   word for s3- heart failure- order lasix  
🗑
47. Test question- Unusually tall woman   marfan- loose connective tissue- aortic regurgitation- lean forward- fist grip- decrescendo- blowing-  
🗑
48. MVP click/mitral valve prolapse   leaflets loose when there’s less blood in the heart- blood goes back the other way- the jacket is big when you lose wt- mid systole (closes)- high pitch- vasalva and standing= you hear better  
🗑
49. Pericarditis   treat with nasids- pr interval depression on ecg- ST segment elevation in the majority of leads  
🗑
50. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM)   (decreased murmur intensity) systolic murmur like AS but more blood makes AS more loud but not this one (squatting, leg raise or supine)→ echo  
🗑
51. AS murmur radiate to the   carotid arteries MR murmur radiates to the axilla  
🗑
52. Grade 4   you can feel vibration of murmur  
🗑
53. mitral regurgitation   caused by HTN and ischemia  
🗑
54. Quality of murmurs   MS quality- rumbling MR quality- musical blowing AR quality- blowing AS quality- harsh PDA quality- machine-like Still’s Murmur- musical vibratory  
🗑
55. a-fib   synchronized cardioversion except for v-fib  
🗑
56. You hear a systolic murmur over the apex- what are 2 conditions   MR ASS Mitral regurg and atrial stenosis- ask pt to squeeze his hand  
🗑
57. SYSTOLIC MURMUR WHICH RADIATES TO THE AXILLA   MRASS- MR, if he wants you to say aortic, he would chose the carotid  
🗑
58. VSD- VSD/ventricular septal defect is   a hole between the left ventricles-If left untreated, the Lt to Rt shunt (red)can --NOT CYANOTIC HERE BUT can turnninto Rt to Lt one (blue) and the patient becomes cyanotic- too late (Eisenmenger syndrome)  
🗑
59. Ankle brachial pressure   BP higher in the legs- for pt with pain in the leg when walking- do left ABI and Rt ABI legs/arm pressure should be 0.9 or greater- do 2x for the average  
🗑
60. young female with chest pain   MVP  
🗑
61. malleolous   below is arterial and above is venous  
🗑
62. Superficial Venous Thrombosis (Superficial Thrombophlebitis) causes DVT?   no but is does contribute to varicose veins- give NSAIDS  
🗑
63. Varicose veins will get worse   use compression stockings  
🗑
64. Chronic venous insufficiency know s/s   above medial malleoli, associated with edema, varicose veins, Hyperpigmentation, possible cyanosis, especially when legs are dependent, in venous stasis ulcers-above ankles- virchows triad- stasis/trauma, hypercoagulability/dehydration  
🗑
65. Alarming- lymph nodes that do not hurt   firm is bad- doesn’t move- malignant  
🗑
66. Matted lymph nodes   bad- also, they do not pulsate-  
🗑
67. virchows node   is bad- a palpable left supraclavicular node is a significant clue to thoracic or abdominal malignancy  
🗑
68. S1 you can hear it sometimes higher than normal   mild mitral stenosis- cannot even hear the murmur- may miss it  
🗑
69. Pulmonary htn   abnormal S2 1) 2nd heart sound is loud 2) 2nd heart sound is widely split because the pulmonic component occurs late- loud P2- valve closes late- higher pressure  
🗑
70. Test question- S3 and S4 diastolic heart sounds   heard with the bell- also mitral stenosis murmur- low pitched sounds- he will ask “all these sounds are low pitched except”---  
🗑
71. S3 has high_____ but low_________   specificity, sensitivity- you can say pt has chf if s3 is present, but if not present, you cannot exclude chf  
🗑
72. Left ventricular gallop s3 is softer during inspiration because   we put more blood on the right side- ask pt to exhale to hear better  
🗑
73. Ventricular Septal Defect in child   systolic- recurrent respiratory infections- If left untreated, the Lt to Rt shunt turns into Rt to Lt one and the patient becomes cyanotic (Eisenmenger syndrome)  
🗑
74. 2 major complications of DVT are   PE and chronic venous insufficiency- Virchow’s triad (stasis, trauma, hypercoagulability/dehydration)- pain and swelling  
🗑
75. Abdominal aorta   abdominal pain and pulsating abdominal mass- evident in family hx- An AAA is an expansible mass that pushes the examiners hands apart- unlikely to be under belly button  
🗑
76. Dissecting aneurisms of thoracic aorta   Produce excruciating, tearing, anterior chest pain- hoarseness, while pressure on the superior cervical ganglion may cause a Horner syndrome  
🗑
77. Syndrome of sudden arterial occlusion   embolism/thrombotic- sudden- loss of sensation- 5 Ps- pain, pallor, paresthesia, loss of pulses, paralysis- Microemboli to the lower extremities cause the "blue toe syndrome".  
🗑

🗑
80. Chronic venous insufficiency   Incompetent valves within the deep venous system cause blood to flow back -Cutaneous edema and "brawny induration," prominent just above the medial malleolus- stasis dermatitis (ulcer)  
🗑
81. Virchow node   bad- a palpable left supraclavicular node is a significant clue to thoracic or abdominal malignancy  
🗑

🗑
83. Prominent ”a” waves   pulmonary HTN and absent in a-fib  
🗑
84. Maneuvers that affect/increase the Preload (venous return)   Squatting/Leg raise: increase venous return, thus increase all murmurs except MVP&HOCM  
🗑
85. Valsalva/Standing: decrease venous return, thus decrease all murmurs except   MVP&HOCM  
🗑
86. Maneuvers that affect the Afterload (Systemic vascular [arterial] resistance)   Handgrip: ↑ afterload, thus ↑ regurgitation murmurs, and ↓/not affecting stenotic murmurs, decreases MVP, HOCM, nothing to MS  
🗑
87. Amyl nitrate   decreases afterload, thus decreasing regurgitation murmurs, and increasing/not affecting stenotic murmurs, increases MVP and HOCM, nothing to MS  
🗑
