Pulm Flashcards
XR hint to diaphragmatic rupture
NG tube in the thorax
XR hint to diaphragmatic rupture
NG tube in the thorax
what occurs with large areas of atelectasis
large ventilation perfusion mist match. hyperventilation to compensate for hypoxemia leading to respiratory alkalosis and decreased PaCO2
how does the body compensate for severe COPD causing acidosis
renal retention HCO3
apical lung tumor signs and Sx
horner syndrome if compress sympathetic trunk
brachial plexus affected with pancoast tumor
right recurrent laryngeal compression causes hoarse voice
superior vena cava syndrome
high Right atrial P and high pulm artery pressure but with normal PCWP
PE
risk for RDS in newborn
prematurity
DM, male, perinatal asphyxia and C section without labor
CXR for RDS
diffuse reticulogranular pattern (ground glass) with air bronchograms
horners
ptosis miosis anhidrosis
how to Dx pancoast tumor or superior sulcus
CXR
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy
clubbing and arthropathy of fingers and wrists due to lunderlying lung disease like lung cancer, TB, bronchiectasis or emphysema
hypoxemia post MVA is worsened with fluid challenge
pulmonary contusion
theophylline toxicity
CNS stimulation like HA, insomnia and seizures
GI nausea and vomiting
cardiac toxicity causing arrhythmia
PE can cause what arrhythmias
AFib
Dx PE
CTA
most common causes of secondary clubbing
lung malignancies, CF and right to left cardiac shunts
hypertrophic osteoarthropathy
digital clubbing with painful joint enlargement, periostosis of bones and synovial effusions

what happens when lay penumonia side down
increase physiologic shunting

does COPD cause clubbing
no
at what Saturation O2 is home O2 warranted for cOPD
what are the anti cholinergics used in COPD
ipratropium and tiotropium
signs of wegeners
blood sputum or nasal discharge, oral ulcers, sinusitis, dyspnea, cough and hemoptysis
renal insufficiency, microscopic hematuria and RBC casts
CXR in wegeners
nodular densities and alveolar or pleural opacities
what does flattening of diaphragm in COPD do
increase work of breathing
normal DLCO but has obstructive pattern
chronic bronchitis
what happens when lay penumonia side down
increase physiologic shunting
what happens to A-a gradient in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
increased
what to check in middle aged person with recurrent sinusitis and gastroenteritis
Quantitative measurement of serum Ig levels
how does chlorpheniramine work
decrease nasal secretions
H1 R blocker
what bacteria cause empyema
step pneumo
staph aureus
klebsiella
what do you need to exclude when suspect ARDS in someone without risk factors
echo to rule out hydrostatic pulmonary edema
how to differentiate asthma and cOPD
before and after bronchodilator Tx on spirometry
high PaCO2 and low PaO2 suggest what
alveolar hypoventilation
Aa gradient with hypoventilation
normal with respiratory acidosis
why not use Positive pressure mechanical ventilation in someone with hypovolemic shock
it will acutely increase the intrathoracic pressure and so increase right atrial pressure and decrease systemic venous return– can cause circulatory collapse
what happens to Aa and V/q with pneumonia
Aa increases and there is a V/Q mistmatch
solitary pulmonary nodule, management
high risk malignancy- resect
mod risk- further imaging and studies
VC in COPD
decreased from air trapping
