Q

Describe the pathology of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis

A

Chronic inflammation injures normal lung tissue

Tissue is replaced with fibrous tissue which impairs lung function

17
Q

Describe atelectasis pathology

A

Segments of lungs have collapsed due to obstruction or restrictive conditions

18
Q

What are some interventions for atelectasis

A

Mobilization
Incentive spirometer
Splinted coughing
Breathing techniques

19
Q

Describe the pathology of pneumonia

A

Acute inflammation caused by, bacteria or inspired substances
Inflammation causes alveolar stiffening

20
Q

What are some SS of pneumonia

A
Dyspnea
Cough
Pleuritic chest pain
Fever
Hypoxemia
21
Q

What are some treatments for pneumonia

A

Antibiotics / oxygen
incentive spirometry
Early mobilization
Airway clearance and breathing techniques

22
Q

Describe the pathology of pneumothorax

A

Accumulation of gas in the pleural space causing lung collapse on affected side

23
Q

What are the types of pneumothorax

A

Primary - idiopathic in young, tall, thin men
Secondary - COPD, blebs, bullae
Traumatic
Tension - emergent, progressive lung collapse

24
Q

What are some SS for pneumothorax

A
Acute pleuritic chest pain
Absent or diminished breath sounds
Hyperresonant mediate percussion
Decreased tactile fremitus
Tracheal deviation
25
Q

What are some treatment strategies for pneumothorax

A

Oxygen
Chest tube drainage
Incentive spirometry

26
Q

28
Q

what are some treatment strategies for Pulmonary edema

A

Diuretics
Oxygen
Upright positioning

29
Q

Describe the pathology of pulmonary embolism

A

Thrombus lodges itself in pulmonary artery
Decreased pulmonary blood flow
I:ncreased pulmonary vasculature resistance
Death may occur rapidly

30
Q

What are some SS of pulmonary embolism

A

Rapid onset of dyspnea

pleuritic chest pain

31
Q

A

Prevention of DVT’s
Anticoagulation drugs
Thrombolytic drugs
Surgery

32
Q

Describe the pathology of acute respiratory distress syndrome

A

rapid onset of respiratory failure caused by:
PaO2 < 60mmHG
PaCO2 > 55 mmHG
Usually found in critically ill persons

33
Q

What are some treatment strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome

A
ICU monitoring
Mechanical ventilation
Steroid anti-inflammatories
Catecholamines to increase heart function
Mobilization
