SBA BOOK Flashcards
Pleurae margins for lungs
Both start 2.5cm above border between medial and middle third of clavicle Pleurae meet in the midline at 2nd CC Left Pleura leaves midline at 4th CC Right Pleura leaves midline at 6th CC Meet in mid clavicular line at 8th CC Mid axillary line at 10th CC Midline in back at 12th CC
Where do oblique fissures start and end
Start at the tip of T3
Parallel to rotated medial scalpula border
End at 6TH Costochondral joint
Where does Horizontal fissure start and finish
Runs medially from oblique fissure at mid axillary line along border of 4th rib
What level does Aorta pass Diaphragm
What structures pass here
T12 Aortic Hiatus
Aorta
Thoracic duct
Azygous vein
Describe the course of thoracic duct, what does it lie laterally to?
Lies lateral to AZV
Originates from the chyle cisterns in abdomen and ascends through T12 Aortic hiatus
Drains everything but RUQ of body (this is done by Right lymphatic trunk)
Courses between aorta (lateral) and Azygous vein (medial)
Oseophagus (anterior) until T5 WHERE IT CROSSES ANTERIORLY
Drains into left subclavian
Location of heart valves
Mitral Tricuspid - 4th
Aortic pulmonary - 3RD
Left coronary artery branches supply
LAD supplies both ventricles and interventricular septum
LMA Supplies left ventricle
LCIRC Left atrium and left ventricle
Right coronary artery braches supply
RCA - RA and RV
RMA- RV AND Apex
Posterior interventricular artery - RA and RV + Interventricular septum
What level is sternal angle?
What happens here
T4 Aortic arch is terminating Azygous vein enters SVC Left recurrent laryngeal loops around ligamentum venosum Bifurcation of ligamentum venosum
Arterial supply to the oesophagus
Cervical portion - Inferior thyroid artery
Thoracic portion - Descending aorta
Abdominal portion - Left gastric artery (Coeliac trunk)
Venous drainage of oesophagus
Cervical portion: Inferior thyroid vein
Thoracic portion: Azygous vein
Abdominal portion: Left Gastric Vein
What passes through Caval hiatus (T8)
Right phrenic
Vena Cava
What passes through Oesophageal hiatus (T10)
Oesophagus
Left gastric artery and vein
Vagus
What structures form from aoric arches
Six pairs Arise from truncus arteriosus 1st and 2nd arches disappear 3rd arch becomes carotid 4th arch Right side - Brachiocephalic + Subclavian 4th arch Left - Aortic arch 5th Disappears 6th Left and Right pulmonary arches
Commonest site for Bochdalek (diaphragmatic hernia)
Left posterior aspect
Most likely site for inhaled FB
Right lower lobe bronchus
Right main bronchus is wider, shorter and runs more vertically than left main bronchus
Lymphatic drainage of Oeseophagus
Cervical aspect - internal jugular nodes
Thoracic - Mediastinal
Abdomal - gastric and coeliac lymph nodes
When to use endocrine therapy in breast ca
Oestrogen receptor positive tumours
Downstaging primary lesions
Definitive treatment in old, infirm patients
When to use radiotherapy in breast ca
WLE
Large lesion, high grade or marked vascular invasion following mastectomy
When to use Chemotherapy in breast Ca
Downstaging advanced lesions to facilitate breast conserving surgery
Patients with grade 3 lesions or axillary nodal disease
Primary site Cancers likely for bone mets
BReast BRonchus REnal (tend to be hypervascular) Thyroid Prostate
Contraindication to lung ca excision
Stage IIIb or IV (i.e. metastases present)
FEV1 < 1.5 litres is considered a general cut-off point
Malignant pleural effusion
Tumour near hilum
Vocal cord paralysis
SVC obstruction
