Peripheral vibrations because of lung consolidations at saying \"99\"

- not able to perceive if pleural effusion
- able to perceive in pneumonia


No Pause sounds
Vesicular - normal. soft/rustling
- Inspiration:Expiration - 5:1

Bronchiovesicular - can be heard over R apex


Pause sounds
Tracheal breath sounds - harsher & lower pitch that vesicular

Bronchial - expiration is longer and harsher than inspiration

Crepitant - \"velcro opening\"

- increased fluid in alveoli/small bronchioles

...B.O. by itself is an obstructive process w/ hyperinflation



PET results for malignancy
SUV > 2.5 - likely a malignancy, perform biopsy

decreases medullary cough center
Expectorant
Guafenesin

reflex irritation GI mucosa.. increases mucus

Flunisolide,
Becleomethasone,
Budesonide,
Triamcinolone,
Dexamethasone



nasal adrenocorticoid

Anti-inflammatory action.

Interact with epithelial cells --> decrease release of mediators --> decrease inflammation

*nasal polyps*





Cromolyn sodium
No release of histamine, LT, or Ca flux from mast cells

- no bronchodilating effects

*Prophylaxis for allergic rhinitis (cannot reverse symptoms)



Rimantidine/Amantadine
Blocks the uncoating of Influenza A virus (virus can still enter cell, but cant leave)

Acts on M2 proton selective ion channel

Oseltamivir/Zanamivir
Blocks neuraminidase --> no viral spreading

O: N&V, HA
Z: cough.. contraindicated in asmath, COPD

*Influenza A and B, H1N1




Ribavirin
Blocks synthesis of viral nucleic acid

- aerosal administration

*RSV

contraindicated in pregnancy





Avoid in asthmatics
Adenosine

Bethanecol (ACh agonist)

*can cause bronchoconstriction



Ipratropium bromide

Tiotropium bromide

muscarinic cholinergic antagonist

.. decrease cGMP

T: longer duration than I

*COPD





Theophylline
Blocks adenosine

..blocks PDE therefore decreases cAMP hydrolysis

*COPD, CHF, neonatal apnea





Omaluzumab
Bind to IgE --> decreases free IgE --> decreases expression of IgE on mast/basophils
Advair =

Combivent =

A = salmeterol + fluticasone

C = albuterol + ipratropium

PMN defense system
mainly bacteria (staph, pseudomonas)
Antibody mediated pulmonary defense system
encapsulated organisms

- pneumococcas
- H. influenza
- klebsiella



Cell mediated pulmonary defense system
Intracellular pathogens

- Pneumocystis carinii
- CMV
- Cryptococcus
- toxoplasmosis




Gram negative coccobacillus
Pertussis

Start antibiotics within 2 weeks or wont shorten the 100 day course!

Macrolides
Bind 50S ... prevent translocation along mRNA

Mycoplasma/Legionella/Chlamydiae

(Gentamycin binds 30S)



Amphotericin B
binds ergosterol on fungal cell membrane - cells leak

*Preferred agent for systemic infection at pregnancy!

Terbinafine
Inhibits squalene epoxidase

Blocks ergosterol synthesis (like azoles)

*dermatological problems



Bivalirudin
direct thrombin inhibitor

(*leeches!*)

- doesn\'t cause thrombocytopenia like heparin ..heparin antagonist is protamine sulfate



Legionella
Fastidious gram negative bacilli that grow aerobically

WBC > 10,000 w/ LT shift

Direct fluorescent antibody stain



Gram + diplococcus
Strep pneumo

tx with PCN, or ceftriaxone if resistant or macrolides

Urine Ag
Very useful for disseminated dz in histoplasma capsulatum (indianapolis, bat caves)

TNF inhibitor can cause disseminated infection

Hilar, mediastinal nodes



INH - Isoniazid
Hepatotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy


LFTs monthy and pyridoxine


Ethambutol
Hypersensitivity

Optic neuritis - check visual acuity

Rifampin
Orange discoloration of secretions

Hepatitis - LFTs monthly

Stretopycin
- aminoglycoside

Ototoxicity - vestibular damage

Renal toxicity - creatine monitoring



Slightly curved bacillus
M. Leprae .. spread thru nasal discharge!

Tuberculoid (Africa) - neuro damage, well developed granulomas

Lepromatous (India, Japan, China, Korea) - plentiful organisms, skin thickening on face, destruction of nasal maxillary structures



Hyaline membrane disease
decrease surfactant

- fine granular appearance
- decrease lung volumes
- air bronchograms



Type of ventilator where patient determines the rate
Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV)

- for patient with good effort & has minimal needs

Synchronized IMV (SIMV)
set rate, but patient cant take UNASSISTED breaths between set rate.

Machine breaths delivered only after patient exhales to prevent stacking

*different than Assist/control mechanical ventilation where every breath is assisted..patient can still initiate a breath but machine will assist to get to set volumes



Complications after extubation
immediate - laryngeal edema, change in vocal cords

early - aspiration, pneumonia

late - tracheal stenosis





Clinical Signs/Symptoms of ARDS
- dyspnea prior to radiographic change

- persistent hypoxemia, resistant to administration of O2

- increase dead space - decrease compliance - pHTN (PW < 18 tho) - linear opacities on XR
Rhinitis Medicamentosa
*Addicting, mucosal damage, rebound HTN*

- from using intranasal decongestants for longer than 5 days (oxymetazoline)

tx: beconase and nasal saline 2x a day



ligate maxillary artery
in pterygopalatine fossa
ligate sphenopalatine artery
incision near the middle turbinate
ligate ant/post ethmoid artery
for posterior bleeds

*be aware of optic nerve posterior to ethmoid*

Acute OM causes

Chronic OM causes

A: S. pneumo, H infl (not B, therefore vaccine is no good), moraxella

C: pseudo, staph aureus

OM - bulging TM
OM + effusion - retracted TM and amber color




Bilateral compression ultrasound
Dx of DVT

(bilateral leg US doppler is for dx of PE)

Protein B (on chrom 2)
respiratory failure

- does not respond to surfactant
- lung transplant needed


Logren\'s Syndrome
- Sarcoidosis

enlarged LNs, erythema nordosum + arthritis

Garland\'s Triad
bilateral hilar, paratracheal adenopathy, + normal lung field

Stage II sarcoidosis

Histology of sarcoidosis
Star-shaped crystals

Schaumann body - blue calcified body of calcium and protein

*hypercalcemia
*increase ACE




LDH = exudate (>.6), but protein = transudate (
malignant effusion,

pneumocystis carinii effusion

Signs of asbestos
furrunginous bodies

comet tail sign

Squamous cell carcinoma
- overexpression of EGFR in 80%
- keratin pearls, intracellular bridges
- grey-white mass
- pancoast tumor
- mediastinal spread --> SVC syndrome
- PTH-like --> hypercalcemia
