Q

caudal lung borders of animal

Study These Flashcards
A

13 ribs
12 back muscles
11 tuber coxae
ischiadic tuber 10
point of shoulder

23
Q

Displacement of the caudal border backwards and downwards can point us to?

Study These Flashcards
A

alveolar and interstitial lung emphysema

24
Q

Decrease of the percussion area of the lungs can point us to?

Study These Flashcards
A

abdominal distention due to : distention of stomach or intestine
enlarged liver
pregnancy
ascites
large intraabdominal tumor

25
Elevation of caudoventral border of lungs points us to?
increase of cardiac dullness - cardiomegaly or pericardial effusion
26
relative or incomplete dullness or absolute dullness can lead us to?
thickened thoracic wall: edema, pleural adhesion decreased gas content of the lungs pleural effusion caused by hydrothorax, pleuritis, haemothorax or chylothorax atelectatic abdominal organs: full stomach, spleen, liver atelectatic solid masses or masses filled with fluid within the thorax
27
tympanic sounds can point us to?
atelectatic parenchyma around the normal lung eventrated abdominal organs filled with gas ichorous pericarditis (fluid and gas in the abdomen) emphysema localized subcutaneously
28
hollow sounds can point us to?
thin chest animals with severe emphysema
29
metallic sounds?
pneumothorax, large cavern within the lung, prolapsed stomach or intestine in the thoracic cavity
30
cracked pot sound?
if there is a cavern filled with gas and located under chest wall smalll SC emphysema
31
wheezing?
high pitched whistling during inspiration or expiration - asthma
32
physiological respiratory sounds
weak stenotic noise originated from the nose and pharynx conducted through the bronchus, lung, chest wall weak blow noise turbulence before the tracheal bifurcation, after the bifurcation laminar spread
33
ORDER of auscultation
first the directly audible sounds with your ears: nose, larnyx, trachea then the indirect auscultation with your stethoscope
34
brachycephalic airway syndrome??
stenotic nares elongated soft palate laryngeal collapse
35
alveolar respiratory sounds: physiological
soft blowing soung, F sound (air sucking)
36
bronchial sound
(laryngotracheobronchial) strong, audible, blowing sounds, H sound during ex/inspiration: above the normal larynx and trachea, lung contains less air
37
bronchial like sound (tracheobronchial)
deeper, softer, harsher then bronchial sound f + h sound
38
weaker chest sound then normal can point us to?
decreased airflow/conduction shallow breathing: thickened chest wall, decreased elasticity of the lung, hampered expansion of the lung
39
missing chest sounds?
no conduction, pleural adhesion or fluid accumulation, obstruction of pr. br. atelectasia of the lung
40
louder chest sounds then normal?
increased airflow, conduction, excercise, dyspnea, bronchitis, thin chest wall
41
abnormal bronchial sounds can be classified due to?
during exhalation its always abnormal during rapid respiration above narrower upper airways when peribronchial lung tissue contains less air: bronchitis / pneumonia / pulmonary neoplasia over air-containing cavities doseal to the pleural fluid level pneumothorax
42
crepitation?
coarse crackles: hair rubbing, bronchopneumonia
43
crackling?
like burning wood - bronchopneumonia
44
rattling sounds?
sucking coke with a straw: moving fluid in trachea or bronchi (lung edema)
45
musical ronchi
continuous musical sound narroed airways
46
whistling?
high musical sound: HUIH accelerated airflow
47
wheezing?
low musical sound fog horn: BBUUU - vibration of airway walls - COPD
48
rubbing?
hand scratching, snow cracking, rubbing of pleural surfaces -> dry pleuritis
49
splashing
shaking a water bottle : gas/fluid in cavities : ichorous pericarditis/pleuritis
50
metallic sounds?
PLOM PLOM sounds: ichorous exudate in caverns: aspiration pneumonia
51
early inspiratory or expiratory crepitation and crackling:
obstruction of bronchi that are less then 2mm in diameter (bronchopneumonia, copd)
52
late inspiratory crepitation and crackling:
compression of bronchi >2mm in diameter: pulmonary edema, interstitial pneumonia, neoplasms, pulmonary emphysema
53
late inspiratory crepitation and crackling:
compression of bronchi >2mm in diameter: pulmonary edema, interstitial pneumonia, neoplasms, pulmonary emphysema
