What is a Spontaneous pneumothorax? Who does it occur most frequently in and why?
- Accumulation of air in the pleural space
- Occurs most frequently in tall, thin, young males because of rupture of apical blebs.
- PRESENTATION: Unilateral chest pain and dyspnea, unilateral chest expansion, tactile fremitus, hyperresonance, diminished breath sounds, all on the affected side
-
What is a Tension pneumothorax? What causes it?
- Usually occurs in setting of trauma or lung infection.
- Air is capable of entering pleural space but not exiting. Trachea deviates away from affected lung.
- PRESENTATION: Unilateral chest pain and dyspnea, unilateral chest expansion, tactile fremitus, hyperresonance, diminished breath sounds, all on the affected side
-
In this type of pneumothorax, air is capable of entering pleural space but not exiting.
- Tension pneumothorax
- Usually occurs in setting of trauma or lung infection.
-
In this type of pneumothorax, the trachea deviates away from affected lung.
- Tension pneumothorax- Air is capable of entering pleural space but not exiting
- Usually occurs in setting of trauma or lung infection.
-
In this type of pneumothorax, the apical blebs are ruptured.
Spontaneous pneumothorax
-
What are Pleural effusions? What are the three types?
- Excess accumulation of fluid between the two pleural layers which cause? restricted lung expansion during inspiration.
- Transudate, Exudate, Lymphatic
-
What is Transudate Pleural Effusion?
- Pleural effusion- Excess accumulation of fluid between the two pleural layers which cause? restricted lung expansion during inspiration.
- Transudate: Decreased protein content.
- Due to CHF, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis
-
This type of pleural effusion exhibits decreased protein content.
Transudate- Due to CHF, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to CHF
Transudate- Decreased protein content.
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to Nephrotic syndrome
Transudate-Decreased protein content.
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to Nepatic cirrhosis
Transudate- Decreased protein content.
-
What is Exudate Pleural Effusion?
- Pleural effusion- Excess accumulation of fluid between the two pleural layers which cause? restricted lung expansion during inspiration
- Exudate: Increased protein content, cloudy.
- Due to malignancy, pneumonia, collagen vascular disease, trauma (occurs in states of vascular permeability).
- Must be drained in light of risk of infection.
-
This type of pleural effusion exhibits increased protein content.
- Exudate
- Due to malignancy, pneumonia, collagen vascular disease, trauma (occurs in states of vascular permeability).
- Must be drained in light of risk of infection.
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to Malignancy.
- Exudate: Increased protein content, cloudy.
- Lymphatic: Milky appearing, increased triglyceride
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to Pneumonia.
Exudate: Increased protein content, cloudy.
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to Collagen vascular disease.
Exudate: Increased protein content, cloudy.
-
This type of pleural effusion is due to Trauma
Exudate: Increased protein content, cloudy.
-
What is Lymphatic Pleural Effusion?
- Pleural effusion- Excess accumulation of fluid between the two pleural layers which cause? restricted lung expansion during inspiration
- Lymphatic/ Chylothorax: Milky appearing fluid; increased triglycerides
- Due to thoracic duct injury from trauma, malignancy.
-
This type of pleural effusion is milky appearing and has increased triglyceride.
- Lymphatic/ Chylothorax
- Due to thoracic duct injury from trauma, malignancy.
-
This Due to thoracic duct injury from trauma, malignancy.
Lymphatic/ Chylothorax: Milky appearing fluid; increased triglycerides
