16
Q

How is acute bronchitis diagnosed?

A
  • diagnosis of exclusion

- rule out pneumonia, asthma, exacerbation of COPD, common cold

17
Q

Labs/Testing/Imaging for Pneumonia

A
  • CXR
  • sputum gram stain/culture
  • CBC with dif
  • lytes
  • BUN/Cr
  • glucose
18
Q

What causes pleural effusion?

A
  • fluid leaks in (trauma)
  • secretion of extra fluid (TB, lung abscess)
  • CHF, pneumonia, malignancy, pulmonary embolism
19
Q

Diagnostic Imaging for Pleural Effusion

A
  • CXR

- US

20
Q

Tx for Pleural Effusion

A

-diagnostic thoracentesis (US guided, cell count, gram stain/culture)

21
Q

How is asthma severity determined?

A
  • sxs: # of days per week or month
  • night time awakening per week
  • SABA use
  • lung function (spirometry, LFTs)
22
Q

How is COPD diagnosed?

A

spirometry/LFTs

-FEV1/FVC ratio is less than 70% in COPD

23
Q

FEV1 in Mild/Stage 1 COPD

A

FEV1 > 80%

24
Q

FEV1 in Moderate/Stage 2 COPD

A

FEV1 50-80%

25
Q

FEV1 in Severe/Stage 3 COPD

A

FEV1 30-50%

26
Q

FEV1 in Very Severe/Stage 4 COPD

A

FEV1 30-50% PLUS chronic resp failure

27
Q

What labs/tests/imaging are used in diagnosing pulmonary embolism?

A
  • Well’s criteria
  • gold standard: pulmonary angiogram
  • CXR
  • ABG, D-dimer
  • VQ scan, spiral CT
  • EKG: S1Q3T3 pattern
  • check PT, PTT, CBC
28
Q

Labs/Tests for Pulmonary Edema Diagnosis

A
  • Lytes
  • Renal function tests
  • CBC with diff
  • EKG, cardiac enzymes
  • BNP
  • ABG
  • drug levels
29
Q

What are risk factors for TB?

A
  • homeless
  • ethnic minority or immigrant from a country with high TB incidence
  • prisoner
  • HIV positive
  • immunosuppressed
30
Q

How is TB diagnosed? (Be specific about the test results.)

A

tuberculin skin test (TST):
-5 mm is + if HIV, recent contact, old TB on CXR, organ transplant
-10 mm is + if recent TB country, IV drugs, resident/employee high risk,kids under 4 y.o
-15 mm is + if no risk factors
[also, quantiferon gold TB test; if positive do CXR; culture sputum and AFB smear]
