  2. permit gas exchange by simple diffusion
  3. Type II cells secrete surfactant
35
Q

Asthma

A

Immune system disease that creates bronchus constriction and prevents oxygen from reaching the alveoli.

36
Q

Q

Hypercapnia

A

An increase in CO2 in the blood. Provides the normal stimulus to breath.

Force - outward displacement - (anteroposterior direction)
Force - Inward displacement (lateral side) Internal injury- lungs

(Smaller harder to see fractures)

(lung trauma contraindicated)

overstretching the contochondral junction.

54
Q

Pneumothorax

A
  1. Abnormal accumulation of air in pleural cavity - can cause a partial or complete collapse of the lung.

Secondary spontaneous - occurs in the presence of existing lung pathology.

55
Q

Tension Pneumothorax

A

Air comes in and no air comes out. (can happen from a stabbing)

Interthoracic pressure increases, creates a mediastinal shift that presses on a valve and can drop a lung.

56
Q

  1. Agitated, apprehensive, cyanosis, 2. diminished or absent breath sounds
  2. Venous system compressed, JVD, tracheal deviation, blood in pleura

  2. blood accumulates and the lung on the affected side is compressed.
58
Q

Clinical signs of Hemothorax
