Session 2 CM pulm9
CM- pulm -9- ABN. Lung Findings
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many lobes does the right lung have How many lobes does the left lung have | right-3 left-2 |
| What evidence would show that a patient is suffering from respiratory distress | use of accessory muscles retractions nasal flaring pursed lip breathing |
| What sound will you hear in large airway obstruction | stridor |
| What conditions can lead to a deviation of the trachea | pleural effusion, pneumothorax, atelectasis |
| If a person is breathing at a rate of less than 8 per minute how would you describe their breathing | Bradypnea |
| What is tachypnea | breathing rate greater than 25 per minute |
| pattern of breathing marked by Rapid, Deep, regular sighing respirations/ rapid respiration chracteristic of diabetic acidosis or other conditions causing acidosis | Kussmal breathing |
| Breathing pattern where breathing is briefly interrupted or evens stops episodically during sleep | sleep apnea |
| breathing pattern characterized by periods of gradually increasing and decreasing tidal volume interspersed with periods of apnea | cheyne strokes |
| Pattern of breathing where patient is short of breath in supine position and gets relief by siting or standing up | orthopnea |
| this conditions results from pulmonary dysfunction mumous membrane and conjunctiva are bluish tongue is bluish chronic hypoxemia secondary erythrocytosis conjunctival and scleral vessels are seen as full, tortuous and bluish | central cyanosis |
| Right sided heart failure is an enlargement of the right ventricle due to high b/p in the lungs caused by chronic lung disease | Cor Pulmonale |
| Widening of AP and lateral diameter of terminal portion of fingers and toes giving appearance of clubbing Angle between nail & skin is greater than 180 Periungual skin is stretched and shiny There is fluctuation of nail bed Palpable posterior edge of | clubbing of nails |
| What does clubbing indicate | indicates pulmonary or cardiac disease |
| What is schamroth's sign | indicates clubbing is when fingernails angle away from each other when lined up together |
| On inspection of the chest what are you looking for in the resting size and shape of the thorax | looking for -deformities or asymmetry -impaired respiratory movement -trauma, masses old surgical scars skin lesions |
| if you patient is emaciated what pulmonary problem may they have | malignancy or TB |
| if your patient is obese what pulmonary problem may they suffer from | sleep apnea |
| what should you look for when inspecting effort of ventilation | breathing that appears uncomfortable or voluntary accesory muscle use expiratory muscles are active expiration is not passive degree of negative pleural pressure is high respirator rate is increased |
| what is the description of the classic position a patient with difficulty breathing will assume to help them breath | tri-pod position |
| AP diameter = Transverse diameter | Barrel chest |
| What is a barrel chest associated with | associated with emphysema and lung hyperinflation |
| What would your x-ray findings be with a barrel chested patient | increases AP diameter as well as diaphragmatic flattening |
| congenital posterior displacement of lower aspect of sternum, chest has hollowed out appearance, X-ray shows subtle concave appearance of lower sternum | Pectus Excavatum |
| patient has extreme curvature of the spine often in elderly and causes patient to be bent forward | kyphosis |
| spine is curved either left or right often one shoulder will appear higher than the other | Scoliosis |
| what type of tracheal deviation will the following conditions cause atelectasis fibrosis agenesis surgical resection | They pull the trachea toward the lesion |
| what type of tracheal deviation will the following conditions cause Space occupying lesions such as Pleural effusion Pneumothorax Large mass lesions Mediastinal masses Thyroid tumors | they push the trachea away from the side of the lesion |
| What are you looking for when checking chest expansion | chest should expand symmetrically. asymmetric expansion can indicate lung disease Splinting Bronchial obstruction Pleural effusion Lobar pneumonia |
| What will you here on percussion over an air filled strucutre vs fluid or tissue filled cavitiy | air will be resonant fluid or tissue = dull |
| if you have dullness on percussion of the lung what may be possible causes | may be pleural effusion, pneumonia |
| What may cuase hyperresonance on lung percussion | lung distention, asthma, emphysema, bullous disease or pneumothorax |
| what are breath sounds a good measure of in lung function | intensity of breath sounds is good index of ventilation of underlying lung |
| What will happen to breath sounds in emphysema | they will be markedly reduced |
| if you have asymmetry in breath sound intensity which side is abnormal | the one with decreased intensity |
| If your breath sounds are harsh or increased what does this indicate | indicates more ventilation and intensity increase |
| where are the places you should hear bronchial breath sounds | trachea, right clavicle or right inter scapular space. if you hear it anywhere else it is abnormal |
| What happens to breath sounds in consolidation | low pitched tubular type of bronchial breathing is heard in the lungs |
| what type of breath sounds will you hear in cavitary disease | high pitched, hollow sounds called cavernous breathing |
| What are ronchi | long continious adventitious sounds created from obstruction to airways |
| what would diffuse ronchi possibly indicate | suggest generalized airway obstruction like asthma or COPD |
| How are vesicular breath sounds defined | inspiratory > expiratory , soft, low sound |
| HOw is broncho-vesiuclar breath sound defined | inspiratory=expiratory best heard between scapula 1st and 2nd interspaces intermediate |
| how are bronchial breath sounds defined | expiratoyr > inspiratory best heard over manubrium loud and high sound |
| how is tracheal breath sound defined | expiratory = inspiratory very loud, high over trachea and neck |
| Where should you hear vesicular sounds | most of the lungs |
| where should you hear bronchovesicular | 1st and 2nd interspaces, between scapulae, |
| where should you hear bronchial sounds | manubrium |
| where should you hear tracheal sounds | trachea |
| If you have absent of decreased breath sounds what disease should come to mind | ARDS Asthma actelectasis pneumothorax |
| if you have bronchial breath sounds in abnormal areas what disease state should come to mind | consolidation |
| What are the adventitious breath sounds | crackles/rales wheezes Rhonchi Stridor |
| How are crackles/rales defined | sounds like velcro can be coarse or fine fine= shorter, higher pitched softer coarse= longer lower pitched louder |
| How are Rhonchi described | sounds like snoring |
| How is stridor described | predominantly inspiratory, louder in neck than over chest wall and indicates large airway obstruction |
| What does Rhonchi suggest | obstruction such as tumor, foreign body or mucous. |
| If the rhonchi is caused by mucous what should happen with coughing | the rhonchi should disappear as the mucous is removed or moved |
| what would expiratory rhonchi indicate | implies obstruction to intrathoracic airways |
| if you hear a scratching, grating sound that is localized and palpable what are you likely hearing | pleural rub |
| whistling type noises produced during expiration when air is forced through airways narrowed by bronchoconstriction secretions mucosal edema | Wheezes |
| when are wheezes most common | most common with diffuse processes that affect all lobes of the lung like asthma or emphysema |
| If the wheeze is only heard on inspiration and is associated with mechanical obstruction of upper airway at tracheal level what is it called | stridor |
| What causes fine crackles heard at the end on inspiration | sound is from when collapsed alveoli pop open can be from depleted surfactant |
| If you hear crackels at end of inspiration and beggining of inspiration what is likely causing it and how would you classify the crackle | probably form fluid or secretion in respiratory bronchioles: medium crackles |
| if you hear crackles throughout inspiration and expiration how would you classify the crackle | coarse crackle |
| what are rales (aka crackles) | scratchy sounds like rubbing hair together next to your ear from fluid accumulating in alveolar and interstitial spaces |
| what are common cause of rales (aka crackles) | pulmonary edema |
| what is the vibration sensation the lungs transmit to the chest wall called | fremitus |
| if you have absent or decreased tactile fremitus what may that indicate | Bronchial obstruction COPD pneumothorax tumor pleural effusion |
| If you have increased tactile fremitus what do you likely have | consolidation |
| If you have bronchial breathing or sound become loud, sharp and distinct what is that called | bronchophony |
| what is it called in extreme situations where whispered words are heard clearly on ascultation | pectoriloquy |
| this occurs when normally air filled lung parenchyma becomes engorged with fluid or tissue most commonly in pneumonia | consolidation |
| what happens to tactile fremitus in consolidation | becomes more pronounced |
| if you have fluid collecting in potential space that exists between the lung and chest wall that displaces the lung upwards what is this called | pleural effusion |
| what will happen to fremitus over an effusion | it will be decreased |
| Exaggerated vocal resonance heard over a bronchus that is surrounded by consolidated lung tissue | Bronchophony |
| Increased quality/ loudness of whispers. Heard with stethoscope over areas of consolidation | whispering pectoroliquy |
| EEE to AAA changes while listening with stethoscope | egophony |
| if you have increased fremitus, dullness to percussion, bronchial breath sounds, crackels and transmitted breath sounds what disease state is likely present | pneumonia |
| Fremitus is absent dullness to percussion absent breath sounds may have bronchial BS or friction rub near top of effusion | pleural effusion |
| absent fremtius dull sounds over affected lung decreased breath sounds over affected lung trachea may be deviated toward affected side | atelectasis |
| Increased A-P diameter Decreased fremitus Diffuse Hyperresonance Decreased breath sounds Wheezes, rhonchi, prolonged expiratory time | COPD emphysema |
| Decreased fremitus Hyperresonance to percussion Decreased/absent breath sounds Possible friction rub or tracheal deviation | Pneumothorax |
