B3 CPR Flashcards
2 movements of thoracic wall in breathing
pump handle (AP dimension increase)
bucket handle (transverse dimension increase)
thoracentesis/needle aspiration
remove blood/pus from pleural cavity
need to do in cases of pneumonia
8, 9, 10 intercostal space @ junction of rib & diaphragm lining
Chest tube/thoracostomy tube
insert into pleural space for inflation of collapsed lung, draining fluid, deliver meds
create negative pressure
pneumothorax
excess air in pleural cavity
hemothorax
excess blood in pleural cavity
pleural effusion/hydrothorax
excess fluid in pleural cavity
chylothorax
excess chyle in pleural cavity
empyema
excess pus in pleural cavity
Intercostal nerve block
anesthesthetic around intercostal nerves
superior rib first
inferior rib second
will do in times of chest tube insertion
intercostal neurovascular bundle
between internal & innermost intercostal muscle in costal groove
Superior to inferior: Vein, Artery, Nerve
Herpes Zoster/Shingles
varicella-zoster virus that cause chicken pox
virus reactivate & travel along nerve pathways
lives in dorsal root ganglion and transport along axon
expression along dermatome
Inferior Thoracic Aperture
separate thorax from abdomen
wider transverse & oblique slopes down/back
completely closed by diaphragm
structures pass through inferior thoracic aperture
Inferior vena cava (caval opening @T8)
esophagus (esophageal hiatus @T10)
Vagus nerve (esophageal hiatus)
aorta (aortic hiatus @T12)
thoracic duct (aortic hiatus)
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome diagnoses
Adson’s test (compress subclavian A by scalene & view pulse change)
Roos test (elevate arm stress to see compression neurovasc)
Wright’s test (hyperabduction for compression axillary A & brachial plexus)
Thoracic outlet syndrome
compression of any structures between clavicle & rib 1
be from anatomical variations, trauma, repeat use
mostly pain, numb, parethesia hand/arm
swell, pain, cyanosis
cold, numb, pain, dimished pulse
axillary inlet
thoracic inlet
neurovasc bundle between clavicle & first rib, exit between scalenes
Clavicle, scapula, first rib form borders
thoracic outlet
area above clavicles, between sternum, & T1 & 1st rib
T1, First rib, manubrium form borders
Superior thoracic aperture
anterior boundary: posterior border of manubrium
lateral boundary: 1st ribs & costal cartilages
Posterior boundary: T1
structures pass through superior thoracic aperture
trachea & esophagus
common carotid arteries, subclavian arteries, internal jugular veins, brachiocephalic veins
vagus nerve, phrenic nerves, recurrent laryngeal nerves, outflow to 3 cervical symoatgetic ganglua
thoracic & right lymphatic duct
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
probe posterior to L atrium
help diagnose patent foramen ovale & septal defects, valve function
guides interventional procedures, evaluate prosthetic valves, detect intercardiac masses
pericardial effusion
too much fluid in sac
from infection, trauma, autoimmune
can cause cardiac tamponade
cardiac tamponade
excess compression on heart which results in inability to effectively pump blood
ventricles can not move blood & life threatening
pericardiocentesis
drainage of excess fluid from pericardial cavity
left angle
5th/6th intercostal space near sternum
Right ventricle in systole
contracts
force blood through the OPEN pulmonary valve
Tricupsid valve is CLOSED, preventing backflow into R atrium
