Other Cardiovascular conditions Flashcards
what lung sounds go with CHF? why?
rales/crackles fluid in alveoli
what heart sounds goes with CHF?
S3- hallmark! non-compliant LV
what is pulsus alternans?
alteration of strong/weak pulse in femoral and radial arteries= depressed myocardial fxn
What condition is marked by end-inspiratory dry rales?
IPF!
what will a chest X ray show if there is pneumonia?
> bacterial pneumonia= lobar consolidation in one or more lobes
viral pneumonia= fluffy shadows
necrotizing pneumonia= cavities
what will breath sounds sound like over pneumonia?
bronchial sound over lobar pneumonia, or absent/dull percussion
differentially diagnose between bacterial and viral pneumonia based on S&S
bacterial= high fever, productuve cough, pleuritic pain
viral= moderate fever, nonproductive cough, myalgias
*both come with dyspnea and tachypenea
pulmonary effusion, types:
accumulation of fluid in the pleural space
>transudate= low protein
>exudate= high protein
what pulmonary pathology is verified by presence of kerly B. lines?
pulmonary edema
what lung sounds go with chronic bronchitis
ronchi and wheezing
which types of pulmonary patients assume the tripod position for ease of breathing?
COPD
what diagnosis goes with a radiograph with netlike shadows and rales/crackles and rhonchi, blood streaked sputum, large amounts of purulent phlegm and sinusitis?
bronchiectasis
what causes bronchiectasis?
irreversible dilation of one or more bronchi with chronic inflammation and infection
what is literflow vs. FIO2?
literflow= liters of gas per minute (speed at which gas is moving) FIO2= fraction of inspired oxygen (part of a whole)
when do u need to use a bubbler/humidifier?
for flowrates greater than or equal to 4 liters per minute
if using upwards of 24 Lpm, what type of mask do u use?
a Venti-mask
what does a non rebreathing mask do?
100% O2 non-invasively
downside to non-rebreathers?
can’t humidify them- also can’t eat with it on, need NC for meals
FIO2 range for all purpose nebulizers?
21%-100%
IPAP and EPAP
> inspiratory positive airway pressure
>expiratory positive airway pressure
IPAP+EPAP=??
CPAP
what is used as a priming mechanism to enhance coughs?
huff breaths!
PS/ CPAP?
Pt. initiates breath with a preset inspiratory pressure to aid in WOB. – pressure support, continuous pressure – constant flow of positive pressure to help
