cardiopulm exam 1/18 (ptfe) Flashcards
what pathology? • Fatigue, pulmonary edema • Fluid weight gain • Dyspnea • S3 heart sound • Crackles in lung (fluid in lung) • Orthopnea
L sided CHF
what pathology? • Fatigue, edema rest of body • jugular distension • Fluid weight gain • S3 heart sound • Orthopnea
R sided CHF
what used to test DVT?
wells criteria
homans sign - squeeze calf
DVT pop?
women more than men, esp. over 50 y.o.
what pathology? • Often asymptomatic • Pain in the region • Unilateral swelling, tenderness, and pain • Warmth and discoloration • Homan’s sign
deep vein thrombosis
• blood clots in pelvis, leg, or major UE veins
how DVT diagnosed?
how treated?
ultrasonography
anticoagulants
what pathology? • Dyspnea • Pleuritic, sharp, localized chest pain • Diffuse chest discomfort • Persistent cough • Hemoptysis • Tachypnea, tachycardia • Apprehension, anxiety, restlessness
pulmonary embolism
- Pulmonary vascular obstruction by displaced thrombus
symptoms:
• Bruit heard over swollen area (listen with stethoscope)
• Abdominal/back/flank pain
• Leg pain, claudication
• Poor distal pulses
• Pulsating mass in the abdominal area (sometimes)
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
what heart sound?
AV valve closure (onset of systole)
S1
what heart sound? Semilunar valve (pulmonary/aortic) closure (onset of diastole)
S2
what heart sound?
heard in early diastole associated with CHF, athletes (“Kentucky”)
S3
what heart sound?
heard in late diastole associated with MI or hypertension (“Tennessee”)
S4
What nerve?
primary innervator of PNS for most of viscera
what action?
Vagus CNX
• Decreases heart rate
• Decreases blood pressure
how to stimulate CN X?
- Carotid sinus massage
- Valsalva maneuver
- Pain
signs of CN X lesion
dysphagia, difficulty swallowing
gag reflex, uvula deviates to strong side
what maneuver?
Intrathoracic pressure increased against a closed glottis
what effects?
valsalva
• Collapsed veins reduce BP and HR
• Overshoot of ↑ BP and ↓HR
when to use valsalva maneuver?
supraventricular tachycardia
muscles contract to elevate ribs during inspiration
external intercostal
muscle contracts to to expand thoracic cavity, flattens when contract
diaphragm
accessory muscle for inspiration
- contracts to elevate sternum
SCM
accessory muscle for inspiration
- contracts to pull ribs outward
pec minor
muscle contracts to to contract pull ribs down during expiration
internal intercostals
quadratus lumborum
muscle relaxes to reduce thoracic cavity during expiration
diaphragm
accessory muscle for expiration
- contracts to compress abdomen
abdominals
contralateral tracheal deviation
space occupying:
Tension Pneumothorax
Pleural effusion
Space-occupying lesion
tracheal ipsilateral deviation
collapse:
Pneumonectomy
Pleural Fibrosis
Atelectasis (collapse of part/all of lung)
what pathology?
- life-threatening condition
- air leaks into the space between the lungs and chest wall
- air is trapped in the pleural cavity under positive pressure, displacing mediastinal structures and compromising cardiopulmonary function
Tension Pneumothorax
what pathology?
“water on the lungs,” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs.
Pleural effusion
right pneumonectomy - which way does trachea deviate?
right deviated trachea
what kind of breath sound?
caused by CHF, air bubbles, fluid in the alveoli
Crackles (rales)
what kind of breath sound?
• Pulmonary edema,
pulmonary fibrosis,
infection of small bronchioles
Crackles (rales)
what kind of breath sound?
High-pitched wheezing
Wheezes
what kind of breath sound?
Asthma, partially obstructed bronchi/bronchioles
Wheezes
what kind of breath sound?
Low pitched wheezing, sonorous sleeping/snoring
Rhonchi, snoring rhino
what kind of breath sound? • Pneumonia, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, COPD, secretions in larger airways
Rhonchi snoring rhino
what kind of breath sound?
High-pitched wheezing, upper airway blockage/object
Stridor
