31
Q

Disorder affecting the pleural space

A

Pleural conditions

32
Q

Inflammation of both layers of the pleura

A

Pleurisy(pleuritis)

33
Q

Severe sharp knifelike pain

Decrease as fluid develops

A

Pleuritic pain

34
Q

Diagnostic findings for pleurisy

A 
Pleural friction pub- using a steth
Chest xray
Sputum exam
Thoracentecis
Pleural biopsy
35
Q

Nursing mgt. for pleurisy

A

Turn pt. frequently w/ the affected side to splint the chest wall
Use hands to splint the rib cage while coughing

36
Q

Collection of fluid in the pleural space

Complication of heart failure, TB, pneumonia and pulmonary infections

A

Pleural effusion

37
Q

Effusion could be:

A

Clear
Bloody
Purulent

38
Q

Normal amt of fluid in the pleural space

39
Q

Pleural membrane is not disease

-Filtrates of plasma that move Across intact capillary wall

A

Transudate

40
Q

Extravassation of fluid into tissue or cavity

- inflammation by bacterial products or tumors involving the pleural space

41
Q

Confirms the presence of fluid in the pleural space

A

Thoracentesis

42
Q

2 medical mgt for pleural effusion

A

Thoracentesis

Pleurectomy

43
Q

Position of chest tube insertion

A

Sitting or lying down w/ the affected side elevated

2nd intercoastal space to remove air
8th or 9th intercoastal space to drain fluid & flood

44
Q

Abn accumulation of fluid in the lungs or alveolar space

- severe life threatening

A

Pulmonary edema

45
Q

Accumulation of thick purulent fluid in the pleural space often w/ fibrin development & walled off area where infection is located

46
Q

Medical mgt for empyema if fluid is not too thick or purulent

A

Fluid drained

47
Q

For patient w/ complicated pleural effusion

A

Thoracotomy

49
Q

Postural drainage, percussion and vibration

A

Chest physiotherapy(CPT)

50
Q

Purpose is To remove air or fluid from pleural space

- to establish (-) pressure & reexpand the lungs

A

Closed chest drainage(thoracostomy tube)

51
Q

Bottle serves as drainage bottle & water seal bottle

A

One way bottle system

52
Q

Height of the bottle to allow drainage from the pleura by gravity

A

Atleast 2-3 ft below the level of the chest

53
Q

Never raise the bottle above the level of the chest to prevent

A

Reflux of fluid

54
Q

Assess for patency of the tube

A

Fluctuation of fluid along the tube

Intermittent bubbling of fluid

55
Q

In the absence of fluctuation

A

Obstruction of the device- check for kinks, milk tubing towards the bottle

56
Q

If no obstruction….

A

Consider lung reexpansion

57
Q

1st bottle- drainage
2nd bottle- water seal
-observe for fluctuation of fluid along the tube & intermittent bubbling w/ each respiration

A

2 bottle system

58
Q

1st bottle- drainage
2nd bottle- water seal
3rd bottle- suction

A

Three bottle system

59
Q

Postion of removal of ctt

A

Semi fowler

60
Q

Complications of cct

A

Subcutaneous emphysema & respi disease

61
Q

Sudden & life threatening deterioration of the gas exchange functions of the lungs due to decrease respi drive, dysfunction of chest wall, dysfunction of lung parenchyma

A

Acute respiratory failure

62
Q

Medical mgt for acute respi failure

A

Intubation & oxygenation

63
Q

Due to sudden progressive edem, increasing bilateral infiltrates on chest xray & hypoxemia refractory to O2 supplementation & reduced lung compliance

A

Acute respiratory distresa syndrome

Aka ‘ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME’

64
Q

Nutrition for ARDS
