particular

-Abnormal breathing patterns
Coughing up blood - (Answer)hemoptysis

What happens in respiratory failure? - (Answer)Defined as inadequate gas exchange. Can result from
injury to lungs, airway or chest wall or indirectly from disease to other body systems
What is flail chest? - (Answer)Results from fractures of ribs, which allow ribs to move independently
during respiration
Clinical manifestations flail chest? (5) - (Answer)-Pain in chest
-Tenderness
-Difficulty breathing

What is primary (spontaneous) pneumothorax? - (Answer)occurs when a small air blister (bleb) on the
top of the lung ruptures
What is secondary pneumothorax? - (Answer)Caused by disease, trauma, injury, or condition
What causes iatrogenic pneumothorax? - (Answer)transthoracic needle aspiration
When is the difference between open and closed pneumothorax? - (Answer)Open air pressure enters
into pleural space during inspiration and exits during expiration. Closed air does not escape pleural
space during expiration
Presence of fluid in plural space - (Answer)pleural effusion
Collection of blood in the pleural space - (Answer)hemothorax

excessive amount of fibrous or connective tissue in the lungs - (Answer)pulmonary fibrosis
Pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis - (Answer)caused by formation of scar tissue after active
pulmonary diseases, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, or inhalation injuries - chronic inflammation
leads to fibrosis and marked loss of lung compliance

Treatment for pulmonary edema - (Answer)depends on cause - left sided heart failure: diuretics,
vasodilators and medications, capillary injury: maintain adequate ventilation and circulation
