Risk factors for DVT
Stasis, endothelial injury, hypercoagulability - Virchow’s triad
Criteria for exudative effusion
Pleural/serum protein >0.5
Pleural/serum LDH>0.6
PLeural fluid LDH >2/3 upper limit of nromal serum LDH
Causes exudative effusion
Leaky capillaries
-Malignancy, TB, bacterial or viral infection, PE with infarct, pancreatitis
THink inflammation
Causes transudative effusion
Intact capillaries
-CHF, liver or kidney disease, protein losing enteropathy
think changes in hydrostatic and oncotic P
Normalizing PCO2 in pt having an asthma exacerbation may indicate
Fatigue and impending respiratory failure
Sarcoidosis
Dyspnea Lateral hilar LNopathy on CXR noncaseating granulomas Inc ACE Hypercalcemia
PFT obstructive disease
Dec FEV1/FVC (<80)
PFT restrictive disease
Inc FEV1/FVC, dec TLC (>110)
Honeycomb on CXR
Tx
Diffuse interstitial pulm fibrosis
Supportive care and steroids
Tx SVC syndrome
Rads
Tx mild persistent asthma
Inhaled beta agonists and inhaled corticosteroids
Tx COPD exacerbation
O2, bronchoD, abx, corticosteroids with taper, smoking cessation
Tx chronic COPD
Smoking cessation, home O2, Beta agonist, antichol, systemic or inhaled corticosteroids, flu and pneumo vaccines
Acid base disorder in PE
Resp alkalosis with hypoxia and hypocarbia
Non Small cel lung cancer associated with hypercalcemia
SCC
Lung cancer w/ SIADH
Small cell lung cancer
Lung cancer related to cigarette
Small cell lung cancer
Tall caucasion man witha cute SOB
Dx
Tx
Spontaneous pneumothorax
Spontaneous regression, supplemental O2 may help
Tx tension pneumo
Immediate needle thoracostaomy
Characteristics favoring carcinoma in isolated pulm nodule
Age >45-50
Lesions new ot larger compared to old films
Absence calcification or irregular calcification
Size >2 cm
Irregular margins
ARDS
Hypoxemia and pulm edema with normal PCWP
Resp alkalosis
Sequelae asbestos exposure
Pulmonary fibrosis–>pleural plaques–>bronchogenic carcinoma (mass in lung field)–>mesothelioma (pleural mass
Inc risk of what infection with silicosis
TB
Causes hypoxemia
