(24 cards)
also means consolidation
pneumonia
-instead of air, there is air/fluid present
-process of becoming more stronger(certain)
consolidation
-a form of acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs’ small sacs (alveoli)
pneumonia
-where exchange of gases (oxygen & carbon dioxide)
occur
-fill the air when the person rests
-tiny air sacs at the end of bronchioles
-breathing in and out
alveoli
-a type of pneumonia caused by a bacterial infection that originates in the airway and spreads out to the alveoli
-produces an immune response within the lungs that causes the alveolar sacs to fill with an exudate
bronchopneumonia
radiographically, appears as a patchy consolidation within the lungs
bronchopneumonia
-this type of pneumonia occurs as the result of the patient inhaling a foreign material into their bronchial tree
-it is often caused by a swallowing dysfunction
-e.g. pacemaker
aspiration pneumonia
a collection of pus
-caused by bacterial infection
abscess
means separate from one place to another
walled-off
means dead tissue (no flow of blood)
necrotic
-refer to as needle aspiration
-guided or CT-guided, Ultrasound-guided
-done if antibiotics aren’t effective
-done to know if benign or malignant
FNAB- FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION BIOPSY
-is a walled-off, necrotic area of the lung tissue containing pus
-there’s an empty cavity
lung abscess
-it is usually a complication of alcoholism but it can also be caused by bacterial pneumonia
lung abscess
the use of antibiotics is the primary course of treatment but in some instances, a needle aspiration may be indicated
lung abscess
what position is suggested to check for / rule out air & fluid levels
PA upright
sometimes comes from air droplets (laway)
Tuberculosis (TB)
- is caused by inhaling mycobacteria
-is also airborne
Tuberculosis (TB)
Diagnosis(TB)
-is a method of choice to determine exposure
-small red bumps will appear within 72 hrs after the injection if the patient has been exposed to TB
-future TB skin tests are no longer necessary as the Px will always test positive
Mantoux
Diagnosis (TB)
-a customary procedure to diagnose if a Px a PTB
PDD
PURIFIED PROTEIN DERIVATIVE (SKIN TEST)
bacteria checked if a Px has TB (microscopic)
AFB

sputum test
When must chest radiographs may be ordered to rule out TB
yearly
is a common medication prescribed to treat active disease and it must be taken for at least 6 months
