-
Bronchial vesicular sounds
- Anterior both sides of sternum 1&4 intercostal space
- Posterior between scapula close to spine
- Moderate souns, egual inspiration and expiration
-
Vesicular sounds
- Peripherial lung field
- Low pitch, soft, long inspiration short exspiration
- 1, 5-9 intercostal space
-
Pulmonary Consolidation
Mass, pneumonia-make sounds that shouldnt be heard in that area
-
Brochial
- High pitched, loud, harsh
- Heard over thrachea
- Short inspiration long exspiration
-
Right lung
3 lobes, shorter than left
-
Left lung
2 lobes, contoured to heart
-
Lung anatomy
- Trachea
- Bronochioles
- Alveoli
-
Apex of lung location
- 3/4-1 inch above clavicale
- 1/3 in the clavicale bone
-
Anterior Base of lung
- 6th rib midclavicular
- 8th rib midaxillary
-
Posterior Apex of lung
- T-1 is apex
- C7 (vertebra prominance) is the land mark at base of neck
-
Posterior Base of lung
T-10 base of lung
-
Breathing motion
Intercostal muscles and diaphragm make breathing happen
-
Crepitus
- Air in subcantanous tissue, makes a crackle sound when you palpate
- subcantanous emphazema
-
Tectile Fremitus
- virbtations felt by palms of hand
- symetrical sound that decreases at base
- no vibrations means blockage, fluid in area
-
Chest expantion
- Should be equal
- Poss. atelectasis, pneumonia if unequal
-
Percuss of thorax
listen between intercostal spaces should be resonance over muscle, dull over bone
-
Resonance
Sound heard when palpating over tissue
-
Diaphragmatic Excursion
the measurment of diaphragm between exspiration and inspiration
-
Auscultation
- Compare side to side
- listen for full cycle
- deep breaths
-
Stridor
- Crowing sound abnormal breathing HIGH pitched
- upper airway inflammation
-
Rhonchi
low pitched, course, thick secretions
-
Wheeze-high
high pitched musical squeaking
-
Crackles
- Rales-secondary to fluid in airway, wet air way sound
- Signs of C.H.F.
-
Pleural friction rub
rough, grating, inflammed surface
-
Thorax evaluation
- Check facial expression, pallor, level of conciousness, ect
- lose of conciousness=low O2
-
Increase AP diamiter
- Barrel chest-expanded chest perminitly
- increase in CO2 levels-not being removed from lungs
-
Chest excursion
hands at base of lung to check for even expansion
-
Dead space
Area in lung where there is NO gas exchange
-
Colapsed lung
- air get out of lung into plural cavity and pushes on lung causes lung to colapes
- trachea will shift from midline in this case
-
Manubrium
Sternum between supra sternal notch and angle of louise
-
Costal angle
90 degree or less
-
Supra Sternal Notch
Top of sternum just below trachea
-
Sternal angle/angle of louis
- Where 2nd rib is felt
- Major land mark
-
Xiphoid process
At bottom of sternum
-
Apex of heart
5th intercostal space
-
Treachea
Largest air way, in front of esophogus
-
Tensio Nuemo Thorax
Pressure building up in plural cavity may rupture and collapes trechea
-
Brochi
Bifocates at angle of louis
-
Brochiolies
- lead to aveliolies
- gas exchange path from aveliolies
-
Aveliolies
- Gas exchange!
- Inter-avelio space where gas exchang happens
-
Atelectasis
- Total or partial collapse of the lung
- Dull over airless area, trachea shifted to affected side
- Chest tube used to drain blood or air
-
Bronchophony test
say 99 if heard load and distinct it is ABNORMAL
-
Whispered pectoriloquy test
- whisper 123, should be muffled
- if loud and distinct means there is a consolidation
-
Egophony test
say E, if the E sound changes to an A sound that area is consolidated
-
Asthma
- Obscured wheeze maybe crackles
- Hyper-resonant
- Decreased tactile fremitus
-
Emphysema
- Hyper-resonant-obscured wheeze
- Breath sounds decreased to absent
- Decreased tactile fremitus
-
Pneumothorax
- Trachea moves to opposite side
- Hyper-resonant, percussion drumlike over pleural air
- Decreased to absent breath sounds and tactile frem
-
Pleural effusion
- build up of fluid between layers of tissue in lung and chest cavity
- dull to flat percussion
-
Skin has three layers
Epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous
-
Epidermis layers
- Basal cell layer-makes new skin
- Horny layer-sheds every 4 weeks
- Helps regulated body temp
-
Dermis
- Conective tissue and collegen
- Elastic tissue
-
Terminal hair
thick hair on head eyebrow
-
-
Sebaceous gland
in dermis opens to hair follicle, produces sebum
-
Eccrine gland
open to surface of skin produces sweat
-
Apocrine gland
opens to hair follicle produces milky substance-sweat, body odor
-
Nail assessment
- Shap and Contour
- Consistency
- Capillary refill
-
Clubbing
- Bending of fingernail downward
- curve larger than 180
- low oxygen in blood-heart problem
-
Jaundice
- liver problem
- look in eye for detection-white
- look at hard/soft pallet for detection-black
-
Danger signs of pigmented lesions
- A:asymmetrical shap
- B:border irregularity
- C:color
- D:diameter greater than 6mm
- E:elevation
-
Flat macular hemorrhage
- Purpura
- Ecchymosis
- Petechiae
- Hemangioma
-
Purpura
- extensive patch of ecchymosis and petechiae
- flat red purplish
-
Ecchymosis
Purplish patch resulting from the passage of blood into the subcutaneous tissue
-
Petechiae
small dot like spot on body surface, caused by bleeding from superficial capillaries
-
Hemangioma
benign skin lession consisting of dense, elevated masses of blood vessels
