🗑
show No known cure. Limit exposure to causative, corticosteroids, O2 therapy, antibiotics, treat symptoms and complications, pulmonary hygiene, bronchodilators.  
🗑
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  
🗑

🗑
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.  
🗑
show Inflammation, malignancy, CHF(most common), infection pulmonary infarction, and trauma.  
🗑
Diagnostics used to confirm pleural effusion.   show
🗑
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
🗑
show Chyle from the thoracic duct into the pleural space, usually caused trauma or tumor.  
🗑
show Dyspnea, tachypnea, chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, hypoxemia. Breath sounds are decreased or crackles over ther effected area.  
🗑
X-ray findings.   show
🗑
show Thoracentesis, chest tube drainage, O2, need to treat underlying cause, symptoms, and complications.  
🗑
What is a pneumothorax?   show
🗑
Two types of pneumothorax.   show
🗑
Criteria for an open pneumothorax.   show
🗑
show Acute medical emergency, air leaks into pleural space but can't escape, not from an injury, should see a shift in mediastinal. Increase in alveolar and intraplural pressure.  
🗑
Characteristics of an open pneumothorax.   show
🗑
show Gas allowed in but not out, significant increases in pressure.  
🗑
Symptoms of a pneumothorax.   show
🗑
show Hyperlucency and absent vascular markings at location, mediastinum shift.  
🗑
show Place in Fowler's position, O2 therapy w/ nasal cannula (unless contraindicated), chest tube w/ chest drain system, thoracentesis, IPPB to reinflate the lung, and if respiratory failure place on ventilation.  
🗑
What is a chest tube?   show
🗑
show *Pneumothorax(air) *hemothorax(blood) *pleural effusion *empyema(purulent fluid) *cardiac tamponade following open heart surgery.  
🗑
What do chest tubes comprise of?   show
🗑
Chest tube placement.   show
🗑
What is pulmonary edema?   show
🗑
Causes of pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
Signs of pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
X-ray findings for pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
Cardiogenic Pulmonary edema process.   show
🗑
Treatment for cardiogenic pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
show Epithelial damage of alveolar allows fluid to enter the alveoli; CNS trauma, drug OD, high altitudes, re-expansion(rapid removal of pleural effusion fluid, >1000ml, may produce edema) Some consider to be early form of ARDS.  
🗑
show Wet bubbly rales in lung fields, pink frothy secretions.  
🗑
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
🗑
show Inflammation, infection, and consolidation of the lungs  
🗑
show Viral, bacterial(lobar), fungal(Candida), immune-suppressed(pneumocystis Carinii), aspiration, broncho.  
🗑
Signs of pneumonia.   show
🗑
show Reveals location and extent of infection, radiopacity, infiltrated, consolidation.  
🗑
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
🗑
