normal BP value
120/80mmHg
hypertension BP value
> 140/90mmHg
Orthostatic BP definition/drop mmHg
drop of systolic BP by 20 mmHg going from lying to upright
signs of right sided heart failure
jugular vein distension, ascites, peripheral (dependent edema), increased peripheral venous pressure
signs of left sided heart failure
pink frothy sputum, cyanosis, shortness of breath with exertion, cough, crackles
green mucus with foul odor resp condition
bronchiectasis, lung abscess
FEv1/FVC% definition
amount of air that can be expired in 1 second
normal breathing pattern
diaphragm >70%, lateral costals <30% 1:2 ratio
distress breathing patterns
apical, paradoxical (reverse pattern of ventilation (trauma) - inhale chest moves in and exhale chest wall expands, flail chest (rib #), use of abdominals to actively expire (floppy lung, emphesema)
obstructive disease ratio of inspiration to expiration
1:3 or more air trapping
restrictive disease ratio of inspiration:expiration
1:1
barrel chest
AP to lateral ratio 1:1 hyperinflation, emphesema, increased lung compliance
thick yellow mucopurulent sputum
yellow mucopurulent sputum
cystic fibrosis
infection (chronic bronchitis, pneumonia)
pink frothy sputum
pulmonary edema, left sided heart failure
normal capillary refill time
adults 2 seconds
older adults 4 seconds
mediastinum shift away from affected lung
pneumothorax
pleural effusion
tumor/mass
mediastinum shift towards affected lung
atelectasis
pleural fibrosis
pneumonectomy
increased tactile fremitus (vibrations felt through hands while patient repeats “99” loudly)
more dense tissue (something else taking up space)
pneumonia
atelectasis
tumor
lung consolidation
