Q

How does fluid build up and cause edema?

A

Factors cause fluid to leak from the pulmonary and lymphatic system interstitially and into the alveoli

Q

What does the build up of interstitial fluid cause?

A

Creates a barrier that makes gas exchange between the capillaries and the alveoli difficult

A

Signs of CHF

18
Q

When auscultating, what sounds might you hear if someone has pulmonary edema?

A

19
Q

ARDS is the result of what?

A

Trauma, aspiration, overdose, inhaled toxin, shock, metabolic reasons, severe infection

20
Q

What happens with ARDS?

A

Fluid fills in the alveoli

21
Q

What are the five pulmonary effects of ARDS?

A
  1. Decreased lung volume
  2. Increased work of breathing
  3. Decreased surfactant
  4. Decreased breath sounds
  5. Wheezes or rhonchi
22
Q

What are the three pulmonary effects of COVID?

A
  1. Fluid leaks into alveoli
  2. Inflammation of bronchial walls
  3. Fluid blocks smaller airways
23
Q

What are the pulmonary symptoms of COVID?

A
  • SOB and difficulty breathing
  • Fluid in lungs
  • Dry cough and sore throat
24
Q

What will a chest x-ray look like with COVID?

A

Ground glass

25
Q

What would require intubation with COVID?

A

Severe presentation, cytokine storm

26
Q

What is the effect of rib fractures on the pulmonary system?

A
  • Decreased respiratory depth
  • Muscular splinting
  • Decreased chest wall motion
27
Q

What is a lung contusion?

A

Localized damage causing RBC and plasma to move into the alveoli that results in V/Q mismatch

28
Q

What are the three clinical sings of rib fractures?

A
  1. Decreased rib excursion and lung volumes
  2. Pain with inspiration, weak cough
  3. Decreased breath sounds and ventilation
29
Q

What clinical signs indicate are present with lung contusion?

A
  • Decreased lung volumes
  • Decreased breath sounds
  • Poor ventilation, possibly visible clotted area on x-ray
30
Q

What are interventions for lung contusion?

A
  • Ventilation
  • Deep breathing and positioning to increase PO2
  • Mobility
  • Observation of fluid volumes
31
Q

What is atelectasis?

A

Air sac collapse, partial lung collapse

32
Q

What happens with V/Q in the lung segment with atelectasis?

A

Decreased

33
Q

What are some causes of atelectasis?

A

Phrenic nerve injury, SCI, post-surgical, trauma, muscular and bony changes

34
Q

What are the five signs of atelectasis?

A
  1. Decreased breath sounds
  2. Decreased lung ventilation
