Question
Answer
What is interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)?   show
🗑
show An immune reaction to inhaled substances like, Chlorine, Ammonia, PVC, smoke inhalation, Radiation. May also result from complications of other pulmonary diseases such as TB, unresolved pneumonia,fungal infections,& diseases of unknown etiology.  
🗑
show Cellular infiltration, acute vasculitis, scar tissue, that can't be reversed.  
🗑
show A group of occupational diseases causing chronic inflammation of the lungs and interstitial fibrosis due to inhalation of dust or chemical fumes.  
🗑

🗑
Symptoms of IPF.   show
🗑
show Increased WOB, tachypnea w/ shallow VT, accessory muscle use, breath sounds(diffused, dry, crackling rales) cyanosis, restricted chest wall movement, later stages show clubbing and cor pulmonale.  
🗑
show elevated diaphragm, small lung, large heart, honeycomb appearance from fibrotic changes.  
🗑
show Bronchoscopy, biopsy, PFT, history.  
🗑
Treatment of IPF.   show
🗑
show Vt = 8 to 12ml/kg b/c trying to compensate for diminished lung volume(5-8ml/kg is the norm) RR = 12-20 b/min I time = 1.0sec  
🗑
What types of lung diseases are restrictive?   show
🗑
show Presence of fluid in the pleural space causing compression of the lung on the affected side. If it is large enough the mediastinum will shift. Is is gravity dependent and may shift with changing of positions.  
🗑
Etiology of pleural effusion.   show
🗑
show Chest x-ray.  
🗑
show Hydrothorax, empyema, hemothorax, chylothorax, fibrothorax.  
🗑
show Noninflammatory accumulation of serous fluid in one or both pleural cavities.  
🗑
What is empyema?   show
🗑
What is hemothorax?   show
🗑
What is chylothorax?   show
🗑
Symptoms of pleural effusion.   show
🗑
X-ray findings.   show
🗑
Treatment for pleural effusion.   show
🗑
What is a pneumothorax?   show
🗑
show Open and tension.  
🗑
Criteria for an open pneumothorax.   show
🗑
Criteria for a tension pneumothorax (spontaneous).   show
🗑
show Pressure does not build up, gas is allowed to move freely in and our of the pleural space  
🗑
show Gas allowed in but not out, significant increases in pressure.  
🗑
Symptoms of a pneumothorax.   show
🗑
X-ray findings for a pneumothorax.   show
🗑
Treatment for pneumothorax.   show
🗑
What is a chest tube?   show
🗑
What are chest tubes used to resolve?   show
🗑
What do chest tubes comprise of?   show
🗑
show Fowler's/semi-Fowler's position, 2in. into pleura cavity. Pneumothorax, placed @ apex of lung(2nd/3rd intercostal space) hemothorax, placed @ base of lung slightly lateral(6th/8th intercostal space)w/both place 2 tubes & connect w/ a "Y" connector.  
🗑
What is pulmonary edema?   show
🗑
Causes of pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
show *tachypnea *labored shallow breathing *cyanosis *pedal edema *neck vein distension *SOB *HR and BP are increased *respiratory acidosis *profuse diaphoresis *cough w/ pink frothy secretions *hyperventilation *breath sounds: rales.  
🗑
show Prominent vascular markings, diffuse fluffy infiltrates w/ butterfly pattern and possible cardiomegaly.  
🗑
show Alveolar edema; surfactant flushing which increases surface tension (alveolar collapse) a V/Q occurs (intrapulmonary shunting)and hypoxemia happens.  
🗑
show Lasix -to decrease fluid, Morphine -vasodilation to decrease vascular resistance, Digitalis -increase contractility of heart and increase CO, O2 therapy, CPAP/BiPAP, ventilation w/PEEP  
🗑
Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
Diagnosis of Pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
show Severe pulmonary congestion. Reaction to the respiratory tract to high levels of physiologic stress.  
🗑
show REFRACTORY HYPOXEMIA(main sign), decreased lung compliance, decreased FRC, atelectasis, shunting, PE, PF, respiratory failure.  
🗑
Chest x-ray findings for ARDS.   show
🗑
Symptoms of ARDS.   show
🗑
Treatment of ARDS.   show
🗑
What is pneumonia?   show
🗑
Types of pneumonia.   show
🗑
show Cough w/sputum, dyspnea, chest pain, chills, fever, hypoxemia. Breath sounds:rhonchi, crackles, wheezes. At first it mimics a cold or flu.  
🗑
X-ray findings for pneumonia.   show
🗑
Why take a sputum culture for pneumonia?   show
🗑
show Usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae,localized to 1 or more lobes, rusty colored sputum, empyema, O2 problems like shunting, hypoxemia, and increased metabolic rate.  
🗑
Etiology of viral pneumonia.   show
🗑
Symptoms of bacterial(lobar) pneumonia.   show
🗑
Symptoms of viral pneumonia.   show
🗑
show Legionnaire's disease(gram neg bacteria), pneumocystis carinii pneumonia(PCP)fatal infection in AIDS patients, vent acquired pneumonia(VAP)nosocomial exchange, bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia(BOOP)seen in COPD.  
🗑
show Common with ICU, 70% of patients on vent >2 days will get & 50% will die. Can be caused by caregiver error, aspiration, weak immune system.
