21
Q

paradoxical movement

A

Chest wall goes in opposite direction of what suppose to happen

22
Q

Cyanosis

A

Bluing of lip(central) or hands(peripheral)

O2 under 80

23
Q

Clubbing of fingers/Due to…

A

Low O2 for a period of time

cancer, chronic hypoxemia

24
Q

Vocal fremitus

A

Vibrations of chest wall when saying “99”

25
Rhonchal fremitus
vibrations of chest wall when normally breathing
26
Fremitus readings
Normal Increased-increase of density(consolidation/atelectisis) Decrease-anything in pleural space(emphysema/secretions)
27
Tracheal deviation
Movement of trachea to the side of less pressure
28
ipsilateral tracheal deviation/due to
trachea moves because the side decreased pressure
29
contralateral trachea deviation
trachea moves because the side increase pressure
30
Potential results from percussion...
Resonant-normal Hyperresonant-too much air Dull-dense tissue/heart
31
How far does the diaphragm move?
3-5cm
32
Bronchial sounds
more expiration than inspriation | Loud/high pitched
33
Bronchovessicular
even inspiration and expiration | even pitch
34
Vessicular
more inspiration then expiration Low pitch low sound
35
Crackles/rales due to
secretions-loose | air ways opening
36
Wheezing/Rhonci due to
Narrowing of air way | secretion, bronchoconstriction, infammation
37
Pleural friction
rubbing of parietal and visercal pleaura
38
Voice sounds
Have person say 99 and listen with stethoscope
39
Bronchophony
Person say 99 and can hear clearly-consolidation
40
Egophony
Person say E and then changes to A sound.
41
Exposed
Should be able to see fait outline of vertebrae through heart
42
Underexposed
vertebrae is too white and cant see vertebrae
43
Overexposed
heart is too light and see vertebrae easy
44
Hyperlucent/due too
too dark or black, too much air, atelectatisis
45
hypolucent
to white or light
46
Opacity/due to
area of whiteness, foreign body-tumor
47
Infiltrates
area of whiteness-like cotton spread out
48
Consolidation
whiteness, well defined boarders
49
Crushed glass/due to
Leakage of pulmonary circulation into the interstitial space-Adult respiratory distress syndrome
50
Blunting of costo-phrenic angle/due to
When costal phrenic angle is not sharp | Due to pleural fluid on that angle
51
White out is due to
Fromm massive massive pulmonary edema
52
Pulmonary vascular congestion due to
too much blood in the vascular
