Respi p.2 Flashcards
closure / colapse of alveoli
atelectasis
causes of atelectasis
sx (thoracic or abdominal sx) result of anethesia
excess secretion of mucuos - blockage
Atelectasis obstructive
Blockage
atelectasis non obstructive
decrease ventilation
s/sx of atelectasis
Dyspnea / sputum prod / Cough / increase HR / increase RR / central cyanosis
when you auscultate atelectatis what sound will you heard?
crackles
when you chest xray pt. atelectasis what will you see
patchy infiltrates or consolidated areas
when you pulse ox patient with atelectasis what will you observe?
Decrease o2 saturation
Prevention of atelectasis?
Early ambulation
Turning
voluntary deep breathing every 2 hrs
used of incentive spirometry
coughing excercise
suctioning
CPT
Metered dose inhalers
goal of treatment of atelectasis
improve ventilation and remove secretion
inflam of the lung parenchoma
pneumonia
pneumonia cause
Bacteria / Virus / Fungi
4 types of pneumonia
- CAP - happen before 48 hrs / after 48hrs
- S. pnemoniae / H. Influenza - HCAP - Intial antibiotic Treatment should not be delayed
- HAP - 48 hrs or more after hospital
- F. coli / H influenzae / Pseudomonas / Kles Pneumonae - VAP - 48 hrs atleast
s/sx of pneumonia
fever / Increase RR / SOB / Sputum: purulent / rusty blood tinged sputum / crackels
dx of pneumonia
culture
cxr
sputum exam
Prevention of pneumonia
vaccination
Mngt of pneumonia
antibiotics
antipyretics
anti histamines
decongestant
02
hydration
bedrest
intubation
Warm moist inhalations
inflamation of the both layers of the pleurae
pleurisy
s/sx of pleurisy
Pleuritic pain / when deep breathing / coughing / sneezing worsing the pain
what finding when you ausculte patiet with pleurisy
pleural effeusion
mngt of pleurisy
discover cause / relieve pain
- analgesic / nsaid / Intercostal nerve block
nx Intervention Pleurisy
Splinting / turning frequently on affected side
Collection of fluid in the pleural space
Pleural effusion
normal pleural space
5-15 ml
s/sx of pleural effusion
dyspnea / difficulty of breathing
when assessing pleural effusion what should you assess?
auscultation: Decrease breath sound
Percusstion: Premitus
Inspection: Tracheal Deviation
CAR / VT scan : (+) presence of fluid
dx and treatment of choice of pleural effusion
thoracentesis
guidance of thoracentesis
UTZ ; avoid puncture of the lungs
