Lecture 5 Flashcards
clot in your lung
pulmonary embolism
Overdistension of alveoli due to destruction of tissue - lungs are overinflated and cannot regain their normal structure
emphysema
collapsed lung
atelectasis
which lung is responsible for slightly more than half the ventialtion
right
what does it mean if youre not hearing any breath sounds
very decreased air entry
what is the pleura
serous membrane made up of 2 layers that covers and protect the lung
what gender incurrs greater lung damage from exposure to environmental tobacco compared with men
women
what is barrel chest
a broad deep chest - naturally large ribcage
why do older adults have a less mobile thorax
costal cartilage has calcified
what is commonly found with asthma and why
wheezing due to more acessory muscle use
when are pulmonary embolisms likely to occur
after a trauma
what things can be caused by pollution and tobacco smoke as children
resp infections
inner ear infection
aggravation of asthma
what is asthma
a reactive airway disease
disproportionate reaction to inhalants
what is atelectasis
collapsed lung
when are cheyne-stokes and biot resp patterns more common
near the end of life
what is the parietal pleura
outer layer tha lines the inside of the chest wall and diaphragm
describe biots breathing
no regularity - random apneas, variable tidal volume
accumulation of fluid in the lungs
pleural effusion
what is bronchitis
inflammation of the bronchi that causes coughing
can cause obstruction of the alveoli
a reactive airway disease
disproportionate reaction to inhalants
asthma
what is pleural effusion
accumulation of fluid in the lungs
inflammation of the bronchi that causes coughing
can cause obstruction of the alveoli
bronchitis
what is a bronchospasm and what would it be associated with
a sudden sonctriction in the muscles of the walls of the bronchioles
asthma
which lung is narrower and longer
left
when is tactile fremitus done
for patients who dont have palpable vibrations
what are the 4 functions of the respiratory system
control of respiration
changing chest size during respiration
inspiration
expiration
what occurs with the diaphragm with atelectasis
diaphrgam elevates to fill in space
describe cheyne-stokes breathing
deeper and faster breathing - gradual decrease - apnea
each cycle taking about 30 secs to 2 misn
what is a pulmonary embolism
clot in your lung
what happens during inspiration
diaphragm contracts, lowers and flattens
intercostal muscles contract - elevates rib cage and pushes sternum forward
what is the visceral pleural
inner layer that is directly attached to the lungs
what are the posterior reference lines
scapular line (starts in the middle fo the scapula and down)
vertebral line
what are the lateral reference lines
all the axillary lines
anterior axillary
midaxillary
posterior axillary
what are the anterior reference lines
midsternal line (goes down through the sternum)
midclavicular line (starts halfway through the clavicle and goes down)
anterior axillary line (starts just beside the armpit and goes down)
what is lobar pneumonia
acute exudative inflammation of the entire lobe
what is a chronic presentation of bronchitits
dyspnea
acute exudative inflammation of the entire lobe
lobar pneumonia
what is kyphosis
increased front to back curve of the spine (excessive forward rounding of the upper back)
which lung is wider and shorter
right
what is emphysema
overdistension of alveoli due to destruction of tissue
lungs are overinlfated and cannot regain their normal structure
which is active: inspiration or expiration
inspiration
