21
Q

paradoxical movement

A

Chest wall goes in opposite direction of what suppose to happen

22
Q

Cyanosis

A

Bluing of lip(central) or hands(peripheral)

O2 under 80

23
Q

Clubbing of fingers/Due to…

A

Low O2 for a period of time

cancer, chronic hypoxemia

24
Q

Vocal fremitus

A

Vibrations of chest wall when saying “99”

25
Q

Rhonchal fremitus

A

vibrations of chest wall when normally breathing

26
Q

Fremitus readings

A

Normal
Increased-increase of density(consolidation/atelectisis)
Decrease-anything in pleural space(emphysema/secretions)

27
Q

Tracheal deviation

A

Movement of trachea to the side of less pressure

28
Q

ipsilateral tracheal deviation/due to

A

trachea moves because the side decreased pressure

29
Q

contralateral trachea deviation

A

trachea moves because the side increase pressure

30
Q

Potential results from percussion…

A

Resonant-normal
Hyperresonant-too much air
Dull-dense tissue/heart

31
Q

How far does the diaphragm move?

A

3-5cm

32
Q

Bronchial sounds

A

more expiration than inspriation

Loud/high pitched

33
Q

Bronchovessicular

A

even inspiration and expiration

even pitch

34
Q

Vessicular

A

more inspiration then expiration
Low pitch
low sound

35
Q

Crackles/rales due to

A

secretions-loose

air ways opening

36
Q

Wheezing/Rhonci due to

A

Narrowing of air way

secretion, bronchoconstriction, infammation

37
Q

Pleural friction

A

rubbing of parietal and visercal pleaura

38
Q

Voice sounds

A

Have person say 99 and listen with stethoscope

39
Q

Bronchophony

A

Person say 99 and can hear clearly-consolidation

40
Q

Egophony

A

Person say E and then changes to A sound.

41
Q

Exposed

A

Should be able to see fait outline of vertebrae through heart

42
Q

Underexposed

A

vertebrae is too white and cant see vertebrae

43
Q

Overexposed

A

heart is too light and see vertebrae easy

44
Q

Hyperlucent/due too

A

too dark or black, too much air, atelectatisis

45
Q

hypolucent

A

to white or light

46
Q

Opacity/due to

A

area of whiteness, foreign body-tumor

47
Q

Infiltrates

A

area of whiteness-like cotton spread out

48
Q

Consolidation

A

whiteness, well defined boarders

49
Q

Crushed glass/due to

A

Leakage of pulmonary circulation into the interstitial space-Adult respiratory distress syndrome

50
Q

Blunting of costo-phrenic angle/due to

A

When costal phrenic angle is not sharp

Due to pleural fluid on that angle

51
Q

White out is due to

A

Fromm massive massive pulmonary edema

52
Q

Pulmonary vascular congestion due to

A

too much blood in the vascular
