everyone else

36
Q

acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by

A

rapid onset of severe dyspnea
refractory hypoxemia
diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, leading to respiratory failure

37
Q

when should ARDS be suspected

A

acute onset of progressive sx of profound dyspnea
hypoxemia with increasing requirement for oxygen
alveolar infiltrates on chest imaging within 6-72 hours of inciting event

38
Q

CXR ARDS

A

bilateral diffuse pulmonary inflaters - classically spares the costophrenic angles

39
Q

PCWP ARDS vs pulmonary edema

A

ARDS - < 18
pulmonary edema > 18

40
Q

tx ARDS

58
Q

Dx pleural effusions

A

CXR - blunting of costophrenic angles
lateral decubitus films - best - detect smaller effusions

thoracentesis - gold standard; determine cause

59

exudate:
pleural: serum protein > 0.5
pleural: serum LDH > 0.6
pleural fluid LDH > 2/3 ULN

60
Q

types of pneumothorax

A

primary spontaneous - atraumatic; no underlying cause

secondary spontaneous - underlying lung disease

traumatic - trauma or iatrogenic

tension - any type of pneumothorax where the air pressure pushes the trachea to the contralateral side

61
Q

sx pneumothorax

A

sudden onset dyspnea and chest pain - pleuritic, ipsilateral, unilateral

62
Q

PE pneumothorax

A

hyper resonance to percussion
decreased fremitus
decreased breath sounds

tension - increased JVD

63
Q

CXR pneumothorax

A

CXR - decreased peripheral markings; deep sulcus sign; visible visceral pleural sign

64
Q

tx pneumothorax
