Q

Late Sign and symptoms of Atelectasis
(F,C,H)

A

Flail chest
Crackles
Hypoxia

21
Q

Why is crackles present in Atelectasis

A

Due to Discontinued breathing

22
Q

The presence of rales and wet brain can be due to?

A

Accumulation of fluid and air

23
Q

Diagnostic procedure for acute respiratory distress syndrome

A

Abg

24
Q

Management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (T,H)

A

Thoracentisis
High Oxygenation

25
Q

Position for thoracentesis during removal and insertion

A

Unaffected side

26
Q

Why do you need to put patient into the unaffected side position

A

To prevent lung expansion

27
Q

What position would the patient be if both lungs are affected

A

Semi-fowlers

28
Q

Is thoracentesis a long term process of treatment for patient with ARDS

A

Yes

29
Q

Why is thoracentesis a long term process for ARDS

A

To re establish the negative pressure in the lungs

30
Q

What would you instruct the patient during insertion of thoracentesis

A

Stay still and exhale plus hold to minimize accidental puncture of lungs

31
Q

What is it done during removal of thoracentesis

A

Valsalva manuever

32
Q

Why would you do a valsalva manuever during thoracentesis

A

To prevent air in going to the lungs

33
Q

Passage of thrombus to the blood vessel of the lungs

A

Pulmonary embolism

34
Q

What are present to patient with pulmonary embolism
(D,I,I,R,H,F)

A

Dyspnea
Increase heart rate
Increase respiratory rate
Respiratory acidosis
Hemoptysis
Feeling of impending doom

35
Q

What color is the blood for hemoptysis

A

Bright red

36
Q

What are the management for pulmonary embolism (T,P,M,G,M)

A

Thoracentisis
Position the patient in high fowler
Monitor vital signs
Give oxygen
Medication

37
Q

What medication should you give a patient with pulmonary embolism (A,A,B)

A

Anti platelet
Anti coagulant
Blood thinner

38
Q

Accumulation of air in the lungs

A

Pneumothorax

39
Q

Types of pneumothorax
(S,O,T)

A

Spontaneous, Tension, Open

40
Q

Occurs due to rupture of the pulmonary bleb

A

Spontaneous

41
Q

Occurs due to prolonged used of mechanical ventilator which cause a build up of air in the lungs ( + pressure in the lungs)

A

Tension

42
Q

+ pressure in the lungs

A

Open

43
Q

Diagnostic procedure for pneumothorax

A

Chect xray

44
Q

Signs and symptoms of pneumothorax
(A,C,D,H,T,T)

A

Absence of breath sound in the affected side
Cyanosis
Decrease expansion of chest of the affected side
Hypotension
Tachypnea
Tachycardia

45
Q

Management for pneumothorax
(A,G,H,C,M,W)

A

Apply dressing over an open chest
Give oxygen
High fowler position
CTP or thoracentisis
Monitor drainage system
Watch out for subcutaneous emphysema

46
Q

Position of patient with pneumothorax

A

High fowler

47
Q

What would you watch of for patient with pneumothorax

A

Subcutaneous emphysema

48
Q

Position of patient with pulmonary embolism

A

High fowler position
