25
Q

what is pleuroctomy

A

stripping the parietal pleura away from the visceral pleura
-produces an inflammation that adheses together

26
Q

what is pleurodesis

A

instills a substance in pleural space via thoracotomy tube. creates an inflammatory response that scleroses tissue together.

27
Q

intervention for pulmonary embolism

A

elevate HOB
o2
monitor vitals
rapid response
prep for abg to be drawn

28
Q

s/s for pulmonary embolism

A

chest pain
cyanosis
diaphoresis
HOTN
tachypnea
tachycardia
distended neck veins

29
Q

steps for extubation

A

hyperoxygenate prior
semi fowler
deflate cuff: have client inhale and at peak inspiration, remove the tube and suction as you leave the throat.
apply 02
assess stridor
hoarseness/sore throat is normal

30
Q

what is excessive bubbling mean in water seal chamber

A

air leak

31
Q

what is intermittnent bubbling in water seal chamber?

A

it is normal for pneumothorax

32
Q

suction control chamber type of bubble

A

gentle and continous bubbling

33
Q

collection chamber interventions

A

70-100ml/hr or bright red- call MD
mark drainage every 1- 4 hrs

34
Q

what does it mean if the fluctuation in the water seal chamber stops?

A

kinked/obstructed/ lung re expanded.

35
Q

suction control interventions

A

gentle continuous bubble is ok

36
Q

additional interventions for chest tubes

A

cough/turn/position
dont strip/milk chest tube
assess respiratory status
never clamp unless told

36
Q

what to bring at bedside for chest tubes

A

-occlusive dressing
-chest xray to see if lung expanded
-drainage system below the chest and free of kinks
-keep clamp

37
Q

what do you if the drainage system cracks/breaks

A

place the tubey in NS, and change new system

38
Q

what happens if the tubey get disconnected from the patient

A

apply gauze and have them do valsalva.

39
Q

type of cardiogenic pulmonary edema

A

left ventricular failure
valvular disease
mi
increases PVP

40
Q

types of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema

A
