Pleural Fluid protein:serum \> 0.5, LDH PF:serum \> 0.6, PF LDH\>2/3 upper normal limit of serum LDH (\>60); exudates from inf, autoimmune, neoplasm, PE, CT dz
27
Complicated parapneumonia
Exudative effusion w/ glu
28
Pleural fluid with pH
Criteria for tube thoracostomy, chest tube to drain likely empyema
29
Decreased breathsounds, decreased tactile fremetus, dullness to percussion?
Pleural Effusion
30
Full inspiratory and expiratory phases (Bronchial breath sounds), dullness to percussion, increased tactile fremitus, bronchophony, egophonay, whisper pectoriloquy?
Lung consolidation (eg. Community acquire pneumonia)
31
Pleural Plaques, fingernail clubbing, bibasilar end expiratory crackles

Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency with panacinar emphysema and liver cirrhosis (bx: hepatocyte inclusions stain with PAS resist Diastase digestion)
33
PE w/ GFR\< 30, rx?
Unfractioned heparin; enoxaparin, rivaroxaban, fondaparinux are contraindicated in renal failure w/ decreased clearance
34
Carbon monoxide poisoning labs?
In severe poisoning, tissue hypoxia may cause an increased anion gap metabolic acidosis secondary to increased lactic acid production.
35
Most common source of PE?
Proximal leg veins (popliteal, femoral, iliac)
36
Smoker p/w shoulder pain, ipsilateral ptosis, myosis, anhydrosis, enophthalmus, weakness in hand, pain paresthesia 4,5th digits, medial arm; dx?
