Q

Bronchial artesia, what lobe commonly involved?

A

Apical posterior segment of the left upper lobe

25
Later on in life what can happen to the over expansion of the lung lobe?
Can become emphysematous
26
Hypoplasia of the lung (aka agenesis) seen in what?
Trisomies 13, 18, 21
27
What are two other causes of hypoplasia?
1. chest wall abormalities, ascites, pleural effusion | 2. Oligohydramnios (inadequare volume of amniotic fluid)
28
Lungs bigger or smaller than the heart?
MUCH smaller
29
Bronchogenic cysts, when are they usually seen?
First 2 year of life
30
Where are bronchogenic cysts found?
Middle mediastinum
31
In newborns what can a BRONCHOGENIC CYST cause, and why?
Respiratory distress by compression of major airway
32
What can happen when there is a secondary infection of the cyst?
Hemorrhage and perforation
33
How many types of morphology are bronchogenic cysts divided into?
3 types
34
What are the 3 types of bronchogenic cysts?
Type 1 - 50% - large, ciliated epithelium Type 2 - 40% - multiple small cysts, ciliated epithelium Type 3 - 10% - solid, bulky lesion, MEDIASTINAL SHIFT
35
In bronchopulmonary sequestration... where is the pulmonary tissue situated?
Outside lung parenchyma
36
Where does the blood supply to the sequestered area arise from?
Aorta or its branches
37
What other congenital anomalies are often associated with extra-lobar pulmonary sequestrations? (hint: 4 things)
1. Diaphragmatic hernia 2. Diaphragmatic defect 3. Cardiopulmonary anomalies 4. Abnormal communication with foregut
38
What are the two types of bronchopulmonary sequestration?
Intra-lobar sequestrations - (90% on LEFT SIDE!) | Extra-lobar sequestrations
39
What does bronchopulmonary sequestration look like microscopically?
- Cystic spaces lined by CUBOIDAL or COLUMNAR epithelium | - Lumen contains FOAMY MACROPHAGES and EOSINOPHILIC material
40
Clinical features of sequestrations...
Dyspnea and Cyanosis occur in 90% of extra-lobar sequestration cases, in CHILDREN
41
Majority of extra-lobar sequestrations occur where?
77% - close to diaphragm | 90% - in left suprarenal area
42
CASE: - A female infant is born prematurely at 28 weeks gestation - Shortly after birth, she shows signs of dyspnea, cyanosis, tachypnea - She is placed on a ventilator for assisted breathing, and diagnosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (hyaline membrane disease) is made - -Which of the following is the cause of this syndrome?--
a) Bronchopulmonary dysplasia b) Intraventricular brain hemorrhage c) Lack of Fetal pulmonary maturity and deficiency of surfactant ANS: C - Lack of fetal pulmonary maturity and deficiency of surfactant
43
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (hyaline membrane disease) is the most common cause of respiratory failure in what population? What does this result from?
Newborns | Deficiency of surfactant and immature development of the lungs
44
What is an indicator of fetal pulmonary maturity?
- Lecithin: Sphingomyelin ratio - 2:1 | - This is measured in the amniotic fluid
45
What are some predisposing factors of fetal pulmonary maturity?
- Prematurity - Maternal diabetes mellitus - C-section birth
46
What is important to know to diagnose such cases as discussed previously? (eg. fetal pulmonary maturity)
- History - Age - Gender
47
Pursed lip breathing
partial closing of lips to allow air to be expired slowly; used by patients with COPD
48
Kussmal breathing
deep gasping respiration associated with SEVERE DIABETIC ACIDOSIS and COMA
49
Barrel chest (eg. bronchitis, emphysema)
condition characterized by increased AP chest diameter caused by INCREASED FRC due to AIR TRAPPING from SMALL AIRWAY COLLAPSE
50
What test do you use to palpate for fremitus?
- "99-test" - Normally present on both sides equally - Fremitus is a vibration
51
Bronchial breath sounds are abnormal where?
- PERIPHERAL AREAS where only vesicular (soft and rustling) sounds should be heard
52
If there are bronchial sounds heard in area distant from where they normally occur, the patient may have what condition? (hint: 2 things)
- Consolidation (occurs in pneumonia) | - Compression of the lung
53
Presence of adventitious sounds indicates what?
- ABNORMALITY
54
What are the three different adventitious sounds?
- Pleural rib - Rhonchi - Crackles or crepitations
55
What does localized rhonchi suggest?
- Obstructive etiology (eg. Tumor, foreign body, mucous) | Note: mucous secretions disappear with coughing, so would rhonchus
56
While rhonchi are very uncommon in COPD, what disease/disorder are they common in...
ASTHMATICS
57
When auscultating the chest, what would rhonchi sound like?
- Crackles | - produced by air passing over airway secretions
58
High pitched rhonchi are called what?
SIBILANT rhonchi
59
Low pitched rhonchi are called what?
SONOROUS rhonchi
