AHA Exam 2 Flashcards
Pectus carinatum
Sternal Protrusion
Pectus excavatum
sternal cavitation
Deep rapid respirations associate with metabolic acidosis
Kussmaul respiration
Hyperpnea
deep breathing
hypopnea
shallow breathing
Feel increased vibration in chest over lung and indicates possible consolidation
Tactile fremitus
Hyperresonance of lungs indicates what condition?
hyperinflation
Dullness over lungs indicates what?
Bone, impaired air exchange, consolidation
Increased resonance of the spoken voice with auscultation
Bronchophony
Intelligibility of the whispered voice to auscultation in presence of consolidation
Pectoriloquy
“e” sounds like “a” with auscultation in presence of consolidation
Egophony
Place backs of hands on the back and have patient say “99” and feel for increased vibration
Tactile fremitus
Sounds more loud and clear over one lung may indicate what condition?
Pneumonia
Decreased resonance on one side of the lungs could indicate what condition?
Bleb
What other exams should be done with respiratory?
Cardiovascular, peripheral signs with respiratory; ENT is often indicated
What condition includes prolonged expiration and wheezing?
Asthma
What condiiton is collapse of the lung?
Atelectasis
What would be a significant finding of atelectasis?
Absence of lung sounds or very muted
What would be significant findings of bronchitis?
Diminished lung sounds and hacking non productive cough
Significant findings of pneumonia
febrile, crackles, rhonchi, diminished breath sounds, egophony, bronchophony, and whisper pectoriloquy, dullness over area of consolidation
What condition may cause displacement of the trachea?
pneumothorax
Significant findings of pulmonary embolism
pleuritic chest pain with or without dyspnea; possible low grade fever; hypoxia
Findings of emphysema.
barrel shaped chest; scattered crackles or wheezes; overinflated lungs are hyperresonant; prolonged expiratory effort.
Findings of COPD
rhonchi, inspirational crackles; breath sounds diminished; diminished vocal fremitus; cyanosis; distention of neck veins with right sided heart failure
What part of the cardiac cycle includes ventricular contraction ejecting blood?
Systole
What part of the cardiac cycle includes ventricular dilation and contraction of the atria draws blood into ventricles from the atria?
Diastole
What is the first heart sound?
mitral and tricuspid valves close
What is the second heart sound?
aortic and pulmonic valves close
What is the third heart sound?
mitral and tricuspid valves open
What is the fourth heart sound?
atria contract and empty
What heart sounds are in systole?
1,2, and 3
What heart sounds are in diastole?
4
Which EKG waves indicate atrial depolarization?
P wave
Which EKG waves indicate stimulation of the atria to initial stimulation of the ventricles?
PR interval
Which EKG waves indicate spread of a stimulus through the ventricles?
QRS complex
Which EKG waves indicate ventricular repolarization?
ST segment and T wave
Which EKG wave is sometimes seen and indicates repolarization of Purkinje fibers
U wave
Which electrical node is located in the right atrium?
SA
Which electrical node is located in the atrial septum?
AV
Where is the point of maximum impulse (PMI) located?
4th intercostal space
Where is the aortic valve area?
2nd intercostal space, right pulmonic border
Where is the pulmonic valve area?
2nd intercostal space, left pulmonic border
Where is the second pulmonic area (ERB’s point)
3rd intercostal space, left pulmonic border
Where is the tricuspid area?
4th intercostal space
Where is the mitral area?
5th intercostal space
What is the range of intensity of murmurs?
1- barely audible to VI- loud, audible without stethoscope
What grade of murmurs include a thrill?
IV and V
Where does the mitral sound radiate to?
axilla
Where does the aortic and pulmonic sounds radiate to?
carotids
How do you differentiate between a systolic and diastolic murmur?
If carotid impulse the same as what you are hearing it is a systolic murmur
What is the most common cause of heart murmur in elderly?
aortic stenosis
What is the most common cause of heart murmur?
mitral regurgitation
Name the Systolic murmurs
MR ASS mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis=systolic
Name the Diastolic murmurs
MS ARD (mitral stenosis and aortic regurgitation)
What characteristics of murmurs are assessed?
location, timing and duration, pitch and intensity; pattern; quality; radiation; variation with respiratory phase
What is the range for muscle grading?
1-5
Muscle grading: visible or palpable muscle response
1
Muscle grading: full or partial ROM but not against gravity
2
Muscle grading: full ROM but not against resistance
3
Muscle grading: full ROM against some reistance
4
Muscle grading: full ROM against full resistance
5
