A collapsed lung happens when air enters the pleural space, the area between the lung and the chest wall. If it is a total collapse, it is called pneumothorax. If only part of the lung is affected, it is called atelectasis.
Causes of a collapsed lung include
Lung diseases such as pneumonia or lung cancer
Being on a breathing machine
Surgery on the chest or abdomen
A blocked airway
If only a small area of the lung is affected, you may not have symptoms. If a large area is affected, you may feel short of breath and have a rapid heart rate.
A chest x-ray can tell if you have it. Treatment depends on the underlying cause.

Pneumothorax is a condition that nursing students will encounter during their careers as nurses.
We discuss basic pathophysiology of pneumothorax, needle decompression, treatments, and xray findings, and treatments.
Chest tubes can be intimidating for new nurses but with a bit of practice the nursing care for chest tubes can become second nature.
Tired of professors who don’t seem to care, confusing lectures, and taking endless NCLEX® review questions? . . . Welcome to NURSING.com | Where Nurses Learn . . . Prepare to DEMOLISH the NCLEX.

Atelectasis: Etiology, Clinical Features, Pathology, pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Atelectasis is a loss of lung volume that may be caused by a variety of ventilation disorders, for instance, bronchial injury or an obstructive mass such as a tumor. It may be categorized as obstructive, nonobstructive, postoperative, or rounded. Clinical features depend on the severity and extent of atelectasis, ranging from no symptoms to respiratory distress. Physical examination reveals a dull note on percussion and diminished breathing sounds over the affected area. On x-ray, the atelectatic section of the lung appears condensed and, due to decreased lung volume, may extend to the surrounding tissue. This effect can lead to an elevated diaphragm and mediastinal shift to the affected side. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Complications of atelectasis include pneumonia or, depending on the extent of disease, respiratory failure.
The MetaNeb® System provides patients an effective and consistent therapy to prevent and treat pulmonary atelectasis while delivering operational efficiencies to healthcare providers. The MetaNeb® delivers three therapies with one device; lung expansion with Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure (CPEP), secretion mobilization with Continuous High Frequency Oscillation (CHFO) and aerosol delivery.

We’ve just released a collection of 500+ OSCE Stations! 🙌 https://geekymedics.com/osce-stations/ See the written guide alongside the video here https://geekymedics.com/respiratory-examination-2/
This video provides demonstrations of the various lung sounds heard during auscultation of the chest as part of a respiratory examination.
Some of the sounds in this video include:
– Wheeze
– Coarse crackles
– Stridor
– Fine crackles
– Vesicular breath sounds

Lung auscultation of assessing lung sounds that includes auscultation landmarks, sounds, stethoscope placement for nursing students and nurses. In this video, you will learn lung anatomy, auscultation points of the lungs for the anterior and posterior view of the lungs, normal breath sounds vs abnormal breath sounds with each including an audio clip. The normal breath sounds covered are: bronchial, bronchovesicular, vesicular. The abnormal breath sounds covered are: discontinuous lung sounds such as coarse crackles (rales), fine crackles (rales), and pleural friction rub. The continuous lung sounds include: polyphonic, high-pitched wheeze (sibilant wheeze), monophonic, low-pitched wheeze (rhonchi or sonorous wheeze), and stridor.

#LungAnatomy #Breathing #LungPhysiology
This 3D medical animation begins with a detailed description of the anatomy and physiology of the lungs (pulmonary system). It describes the pleura and diaphragm which aid in lung expansion. The animation also deals with lung cancer and the role of lymph in transporting bacteria, allergens and cancer cells away from the lungs and to the lymph nodes. Video Rating: / 5
Let’s take a look at some anatomy of the lungs. Lobes, fissures, surfaces, their shapes, and stuff like that. How does the heart connect to the lungs?

For a random human anatomy question every day on your phone you can get my Daily Anatomy question app from the Apple App Store:
The Social Determinants of Health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live and age. They have a large influence on our health. It also determines health inequities, which is the unfair and avoidable health difference between different groups of people In this video we take a look at the social determinants of health..what they are, how it impacts health and a useful framework to understand it.

This video is a 4-minute summary of the Determinants of Health! Determinants are factors that can influence a person’s health. While the focus of health interventions has typically been, who people are and what they do, the conditions in which they are born, grow, live, work and age are critically important in determining the health of individuals and communities.
