SOPN Upper Rest Test

SOPN Upper Resp Test 7 (2 of 2)

QuestionAnswer
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
