In the case of pneumothorax where should the chest tube be placed?
A. Inserted outside of the alveoli but within mediastinum
B. At the bottom of the lung, the lower lobe to facilitate removal by pressure gradient
C. Inserted at 2nd or 3rd intercostal space lateral to mid clavicular line
D. Inserted directly into the affected lung lobe to force out air from lung cavity
C. Insert chest tube at 2nd or 3rd intercostal space lateral to mid clavicular line
What level of pressure is used in chest tube for infant?
When connected to underwater seal drainage unit, it should have -20 cmH2O
When air trapping is present due to pneumothorax regional over-distention may occur when
A. Less compliant alveoli require adjustments to pressure
B. Increased resistance causes more stress on alveoli
C. Both dynamic compliance & static compliance decline
D. when compliant alveoli are next to atelectatic alveoli which can cause rupture and PIE
D

Select the correct statments pertaining to retractions:
I. Retractions involve the outward movement of chest wall
II. They may occur between ribs (intercostal) above the clavicle (supraclavicular) or below rib margins (Subcostal)l
III Seen most commonly in newborns due to their high compliance chest wall;
IV. As the diaphragm is forcefully contracted the abdomen will protrude
V. Negative pressure causes inward movement of anterior chest wall, produces a see saw pattern
A. I, II, III
B. I, II, III, IV
C. II, III, IV, V
D. I, II, III, IV, V
C: (answer 1 incorrect as retractions involve inward movement of chest wall)
