What is the treatment for pleuritis?
*antibiotics
What is pleural effusion/ empyema, and what is its diagnosis and treatment?
- fluid in cavity
- lungs compressed (prevent from inflating fully)
- x-ray or percussion (dead sound = fluid)
- drain (thoracentesis)
What does the needle pass through in thoracentesis?
- external, internal, innermost intercostal
- costal parietal pleura
- intercostal space (9th and 10th)
What is tension pneumothorax?
- struggling to breath and pulling air in, inflate empty space
- diaphragm push down even more, no venous return to heart (squished)
What is simple pneumothorax (ataleltasis), how is it treated, and what are the symptoms?
- fail to inflate
- lungs not completely collapsed, small air in cavity
- body takes care of it
- dyspnea (diff breathing)
How is chronic pulmonary collapse treated?
- scaring pleura so visceral and parietal won’t separate again
- pleurodesis (scape pleura or sprinkle irrating powder)
What is pulmonary collapse and what are the symptoms?
- lung won’t inflate on its own, shrinks about 1/3 size of cavity
- acute respiratory distress, cyanosis
- becomes a real space
Why does pulmonary collapse happen?
- spontaneous (tall, thin people)
* traumatic (injury to thoracic wall)
What is a pulmonary embolism and what is it due to?
- blockage in pulmonary artery
* due to blood clot, glob of fat, air bubble
What can a pulmonary embolism cause?
- mild block goes unnoticed
- large block gives dyspenea (diff breathing), acute respiratory distress, chest pain, coughing, sweating, cyanosis
- can knock out entire lobe of lung
