Q

At what point does the lung cross the MCL?

A

CC6

17
Q

At what point does the lung reach the MAL

A

Cc8

18
Q

At what pout does the lung cross the SL/PVL?

A

CC10

19
Q

At what point does the Parietal pleura cross the MCL?

A

8th rib

20
Q

At what point does the parietal pleura cross the MAL?

A

10th rib

21
Q

At what point does the parietal pleura cross the SL/PVL?

A

12th rib

22
Q

At what point do the lungs meet and what path to they follow?

A

CC2 level and follow a straight path from CC2 to CC4 where they part ways

23
Q

After parting ways how do the left and right lung differ in their path?

A

Right lung goes straight down to CC6

Left takes a curvilinear to CC6

24
Q

Which costodiapgragmatic (costophrenic) recess is larger??

A

Left

25
Q

What is the costophrenic (costodiagphragmatic) angle?

A

A normal angle seen in the thoracic cavity between the diaphragm and the thoracic cavity

26
Q

Why s a posterior thoracocentesis not a viable option?

A

Between ribs 10 and 12 there are other organs such as spleen or kidney

27
Q

A thoracocentesis for pleura effusion a the mid axillary line is bet performed in which intercostal space?

A

Eight and ninth

Intercostal space 10 and 11 in the posterior side on VL

28
Q

What kind of sac is the pericardium?

A

A fibro-serous sac

29
Q

What are the two layers of the pericardium

A

The outer single layers fibrous pericardium

The inner double-layered serous pericardium

30
Q

What can be found the base of the hearth between the great vessels?

A

Oblique pericardial sinus

31
Q

What is the innervation of the pericardium?

A

Phrenic nerve

Intercostal nerve

32
Q

Between what arteries and veins is the transverse pericardial sinus?

A

Superior vena cava

Ascending aorta

Pulmonary trunk

(This space is used in cardiac surgery and to stop bleeding)

33
Q

How can you tell if the heart is enlarged?

A

Cardiothoracic ratio

-how much space it is taking up horizontally

34
Q

What is “shaggy” pericardium?

A

When there is a clear delineation of the heart within the pericardial sac

35
Q

Patients who come in with shock and penetrating chest injury have what until proven otherwise?

A

Cardiac involvement

36
Q

What is Beck’s Triad?

A

Cardiac tamponade presents with a triad of Hypotension, jugular distensión and muffled heart sounds

37
Q

Where is pericardiocentesis done?

A

Infrasternal angle: needle is passed supero-posteriorly, aiming t the left shoulder

  • stay left and medial
  • stay low (infrasternal)
  • angle up
38
Q

Where would drainage for pericardioentesis occur if going into the bare area?

A

Left 5th or 6th ICS near the sternum, in the area of the cardiac notch of the left lung
