Q

What is exudate fluid and what can cause this? What type of exudate fluid (2)?

A

Inflm fluid made out of plasma proteins, defense cells, and increase protein content —> d/t some form of injury

can be purulent and serous

Q

What is transudate fluid? Give example why this type occur?

A

non-inflm fluid –> decrease protein content

Ex: increase CHP pushes fluid out of vasculature into interstitial fluid

Q

What is empyema fluid? What causes this?

A

purulent exudate with abundance of pus d/t bacterial infection (pneumonia)

also contains glucose, proteins, leukocytes, and debris

Q

What is chylothorax fluid? What is chlye? What can cause this? What age group is this most common in?

A

build up of lymph fluid in pleural space d/t injury in the lymphatic vessels

lymph fluid containing chyle –> chyle = a milky fluid containing chylomicrons

fetus and neonate

Q

How does pulm infarction lead to PE? There is a build up of ____ in the region therefore increase ___.

A

pulm obstruction–> ischemia–> infarction–> inflm–> increase capillary permeability–> fluid shifts into pleural space

blood

CHP

17
Q

Patho of PE: fluid enters pleural space from _______ of ________ pleura

A

capillaries

parietal

18
Q

Patho of PE: fluid _____ into parietal ______ vessels

A

drains

lymphatic

19
Q

Patho of PE: If entry of fluids (_______) exceeds _______ then fluids ______ and enter IS and move into the pleural space = PE

A

seepage

drainage

accumulate

20
Q

Manifestations of PE (3)

A
  1. dyspnea
  2. pleuritic pain
  3. decrease lung expansion
21
Q

Mnfst depends on ____ and ________

A

cause

volume

22
Q

Why is Dyspnea common? What is accompanied by dyspnea and what does it result in?

A

accum of fluid applies external pressure to lungs impacting the ability for lungs to inflate

hypoxia

decrease GE

23
Q

What causes the pain in pleuritic pain?

A

air is push thru the lungs thru increase pressure/compression d/t accum of fluid

24
Q

Diagnosis of PE (2)

A
  1. CXR –> image taken on inhalation and exhalation

2. US and CT –> more precise

25
Q

What are also included in the work up?

A

hx, px, and blood work

26
Q

Treatment of PE (3)

A
  1. thoracentesis + fluid analysis
  2. chest tube
  3. avoid solidification
27
Q

Tx is based on _____

A

cause

28
Q

Thoracentesis is the removal of _____ d/t ____ ________

A

fluid

third spacing

29
Q

Why is vol expander not req for thoracentesis?

A

compared to the abdominal cavity, the thoracic cavity is smaller therefore when drained there is no sudden rush of fluid in space

30
Q

Fluid is drained more ______ with a ______ _____ in thoracentesis

A

slowly

chest tube

31
Q

Fluid is analysed to determine ______ of fluid and ____ of third spacing

A

type

cause
