Q

How would you describe pleuritic chest pain?

A

Peripheral and usually radiates to the scapula regions. Inspiratory maneuvers such as coughing, yawning, & sighing aggravates pleuritic chest pain. An inflammation or infection in the plural space usually causes pleuritic chest pain. Patient often describe it as knife like or Sharp, and it increases in intensity with inspiration.

Q

What do you call the potential space between the long and chest wall?

A

Partial pressure of oxygen and arterial blood. Pa02 less than 85 to 90 mmHg = hypoxemia.

114
Q

What is the A-a and what is the alveolar gas equation it follows?
