Q

How does a pregnancy affect a woman’s ability to breath

A

The uterus displaces the diaphragm (big baby)

Too much amniotic fluid in uterus makes it too big (polyhydramnios)

Q

What is the normal rate of respiration

A

12-20 breaths/min

22
Q

What is Kussmaul breathing

A

Deep labored breathing, often associated with severe metabolic acidosis

23
Q

What is Cheyne-Stokes breathing

A

Progressively deeper and sometimes faster breathing followed by a gradual decrease

24
Q

What is Biot respiration

A

Quick shallow breaths followed by periods of apnea

25
Q

What is paradoxic breathing

A

Lower thorax is drawn in on inspiration and dawn out on expiration

26
Q

What is Crepitus

A

Crackling that can be palpated and herd

Indicates air in subcutaneous tissue

27
Q

What is Friction rub

A

Palpable, coarse, grating vibration on inspiration

28
Q

What is the vibration of the chest wall that results from speech

A

Tactile fremitus

29
Q

What is the noise herd when percussing the chest

A

Resonance

30
Q

What does hyper-resonance indicate when percussing the chest wall

A

Hyperinflation

31
Q

What does dullness indicate when percussing the chest wall

A

Diminished air exchange

Consolidation

32
Q

What are the low-pitched, low-intensity sounds heard from healthy lungs

A

Vesicular

33
Q

What are moderate pitch, moderate intensity heard over the major bronchi

A

Bronchovesicular

34
Q

What are high pitched, high intensity sounds heard over the trachea

A

Bronchial

35
Q

What sound is often heard with a large stiff walled pulmonary cavity or tension pneumothorax

A

Amorphic

36
Q

What sound is often heard over a pulmonary cavity in which the wall is rigid

A

Cavernous

37
Q

What sound is continuous, high pitched and is heard when air is forced through a small ariway

A

WHeezes

38
Q

What sound is caused by the passage of air through an airway obstructed by thick secretions

A

Rhonchi

39
Q

What sound occurs outside the respiratory tree, low-pitched, grating sound

A

Friction rub

40
Q

What causes an increase in Tactile frematus side to side

A

Consolidation

41
Q

On the side of consolidation what is to be expected when examining the lungs

A 
Tactile frematus = Increase vibration
Percussion = Dull
Auscaltation = Louder more intense
Vocal Resonance = Easy to hear
Egophany (patient says E, but sounds like A)
42
Q

Condition where puss is outsidde of the lungs

A

Epmyema

43
Q

Differences between atalactais and pneumothorax

A 
Atalactasis = segmental collapse, no change in shape
Pneumothorax = Air presses/collapses the lung becuacse its in the pleural space
44
Q

What type of pneumothorax is likely to walk into your office

A

Spontaneous pneumothorax

45
Q

what body shape is commonly associated with spontaneous penumothorax

A

Tall and skinny

Marfan syndrome

46
Q

Tumor in the apex of the lung

A

Pancost tumor (broncogenic carcinoma)

47
Q

Two common types of Bronchitis

A

Influenza

Viral pneumoia

48
Q

What is the difference between Mucus produced in TB and a bacterial infxn that causes bleeding

A

TB = Red/ blood streaked

Bacterial with bleeding = Orange/rusty
