Question
Answer
What is interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)?   show
🗑
Etiology of IPF.   show
🗑
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.  
🗑
show Silicosis(Silica dust),Farmer's lung(moldy hay), Silo-filler disease(Nitrogen dioxide), Coal miners pneumonia(coal dust), Asbestosis(Asbestos), Siderosis(Iron dust), Aluminosis(Aluminum)  
🗑
show Progressive dyspnea, on exertion in the beginning stages then at rest as the disease progresses (PRIMARY SYMPTOM), nonproductive cough, hemoptysis, hypoxemia,chest pain.  
🗑
Physical examination findings for IPF.   show
🗑
show elevated diaphragm, small lung, large heart, honeycomb appearance from fibrotic changes.  
🗑
Diagnostics used to confirm IPF.   show
🗑
show No known cure. Limit exposure to causative, corticosteroids, O2 therapy, antibiotics, treat symptoms and complications, pulmonary hygiene, bronchodilators.  
🗑
Perimeters for mechanical ventilation in IPF.   show
🗑
show Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis(IPF), Pleural effusion, Pneumothorax, Pulmonary edema(cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic), ARDS, Pneumonia, Pulmonary embolism, Postoperative atelectasis.  
🗑
What is pleural effusion (hemothorax)?   show
🗑
Etiology of pleural effusion.   show
🗑
show Chest x-ray.  
🗑
Types of pleural effusions.   show
🗑
What is hydrothorax?   show
🗑
What is empyema?   show
🗑
show Frank blood or fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity caused by, trauma, malignancy, or ruptured blood vessels.  
🗑
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.  
🗑
show Presence of air in the intrapleural space or within other areas of the thorax, can be spontaneous or traumatic. Pressure increases and decompresses lung tissue, resulting in atelectasis and ventilation becomes decreased on the affected side.  
🗑
Two types of pneumothorax.   show
🗑
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  
🗑
Characteristics of a tension pneumothorax.   show
🗑
Symptoms of a pneumothorax.   show
🗑
X-ray findings for a pneumothorax.   show
🗑
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
🗑
What are chest tubes used to resolve?   show
🗑
show *Sterile flexible catheter(sizes 7-40 French) *radiopaque stripe  
🗑
Chest tube placement.   show
🗑
show Accumulation of excessive fluid in the alveloi and interstitium.  
🗑
show *CHF *renal failure *heart disease *myocardial infarction *sepsis *ARDS *pneumonia *near-drowning *embolism *O2 toxicity *smoke inhalation  
🗑
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.  
🗑
X-ray findings for pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
Cardiogenic Pulmonary edema process.   show
🗑
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  
🗑
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.  
🗑
What is ARDS?   show
🗑
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.  
🗑
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
🗑
show It can reveal type of pulmonary infection.  
🗑
Etiology of lobar pneumonia.   show
🗑
Etiology of viral pneumonia.   show
🗑
Symptoms of bacterial(lobar) pneumonia.   show
🗑
show Onset is gradual, low fever, thin mucoid sputum, uncommon to have chills, tachycardia,hypoxemia, or pleuritic pain, x-rays look normal, <10,000/cu mm,  
🗑
Other types of pneumonia.   show
🗑
What is ventilator associate pneumonia(VAP)?   show
🗑
