Resp Flashcards
decreased air entry lungs
emphysema, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, collapse
increased vocal resonance (99)
consolidatoin
decreased vocal resonance (99)
effusion, pneumothorax
tracheal displacement different causes
away from = pneumothorax + pleural effusion
towards =collapsed lung, expansion reduced on one side with all.
Pneumothorax – increased resonance, reduced breath sounds.
Pneumonia – coarse creps + bronchial breathing
Pleural effusion – stony dull percussion, reduced breath sounds
Collapsed lung reduced sounds, decreased resonance.

COPD summary of all
signs (flap, bounding pulse, hyper-expanded/res, exp wheeze), CP, CXR may show pneumothorax, ABG – T2RF FBC – low alb if severe spiro – low FEV1, ratio <0.7 GOLD classification of severity. Cons – stop smoking, physio Med – salbutamol +/- tiotropium +/- ICS, vaccs, LTOT if palliative + non smoker + <7 O2
