39
Q

What is blue bloaters

A

chronic bronchitis

40
Q

What is a pink puffer

A

emphysema (pathologic diagnosis, where alveoli lose their elastic)

41
Q

What are the 4 things we look at for respiration

A

Rate (12-20
Rythym (regular, irregular)
Depth ( Shallow, normal, deep)

42
Q

What do you examine nails for in a thorax and lung exam

A

clubbing- sign of hypoxia

43
Q

What are you looking for with thoracic expansion

A

symmetry and normal thoracic expansion

44
Q

What test are you doing using the ulnar side of your hand on the posterior thorax, checking for asymmetry moving down the chest while a patient says 99?

A

Tactile fremitus
- Air or fluid outside the lung can make this not symmetrical

45
Q

When are tactile fremitus vibrations increased

A

pnumonia

46
Q

When are tactile fremitus vibrations decreased

A

unilateral: pneumothorax, pleural effusion, bronchial obstruction, atelectasis
bilateral: COPD, obesity

47
Q

Effusion vs consolidation

A

Effusion- pleural fluid in pleural cavity
consolidation- fluid in alveoli/lung

48

49
Q

If you are listening to a low pitched noise, caused by fluid in the large and ledium sized airways, what are you listening to?

49
Q

If you’re hearing scratchy sounds associated with fluid in the alveoli and airways, what are you listening to?

A

Crackles, rales

50
Q

What are you hearing if you hear a wisteling, high-pitched noise that is loud on expiration, caused by air forced through a narrow airway?

A

Wheezing

51
Q

If you have an absense of sound in the lungs what is it?

A

Little air movement, clinical emergency, chronic emphysema, severe asthma, effusions, pneumothorax

52
Q

What is egophony

A

have patient say letter e while auscultating (if abnormal, will hear like aaaaah. Positive egophany, or e to a change.)
- Accompanies pneumonia
