Chest Assessment Nursing | Heart & Lung Assessment | Head-to-Toe Exam

health No Comments »

The chest and back assessment in nursing will be performed as a part of the head-to-toe assessment. During this assessment, you’ll assess the thorax, identify key landmarks, and then use your stethoscope to listen to heart and lung sounds.

For the full head-to-toe assessment video, click below:

Auscultate heart sounds at 5 locations, specifically valve locations: Remember the mnemonic: “All Patients Effectively (Erb’s Point…halfway point between the base and apex of the heart) Take Medicine”

-All: Aortic
-Patients: Pulmonic
-Effectively: Erb’s Point (no valve at this location)
-Take: Tricuspid
-Medicine: Mitral

Auscultate anteriorly: Start at: the apex of the lung which is right above the clavicle. Then move to the 2nd intercostal space to assess the right and left upper lobes.

Move to the 4th intercostal space, you will be assessing the right middle lobe and the left upper lobe.

Lastly move to the mid-axillary are at the 6th intercostal space and you will be assessing the right and left lower lobes.

Auscultate posteriorly: Start right above the scapulae to listen to the apex of the lungs.Then find C7 (which is the vertebral prominence) and go to T3…in between the shoulder blades and spine.

This will assess the right and left upper lobes.Then from T3 to T10 you will be able to assess the right and left lower lobes.

Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Restrictive Lung Disease. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Definition and Classification of Restrictive Lung Disease
– Gain insights into what constitutes restrictive lung disease and how it varies from obstructive lung conditions.
– Acquaint yourself with the classifications based on etiology, such as intrinsic lung diseases (interstitial lung disease, fibrosis) and extrinsic factors (pleural diseases, neuromuscular disorders).

2. Pathophysiology and Etiologies
– Explore the underlying mechanisms contributing to restrictive lung disease, ranging from inflammation and fibrosis to pleural effusions and chest wall deformities.
– Understand the altered lung mechanics and its relationship to the various causative factors.

3. Clinical Manifestations and Presentation
– Learn to recognize the signs and symptoms commonly associated with restrictive lung disease, such as dyspnea, reduced exercise tolerance, and dry cough.
– Identify potential indicators of severity, such as hypoxia, tachypnea, and the use of accessory respiratory muscles.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
– Understand the roles and interpretations of various diagnostic tests, including pulmonary function tests (PFTs), high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and lung biopsy.
– Familiarize yourself with the latest guidelines for diagnosing restrictive lung disease as outlined by professional bodies like the American Thoracic Society.

5. Initial Management Strategies

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: You or someone you care about may have been diagnosed with lung cancer. This video will help you understand more about lung cancer and how it affects your body. Your lungs are a pair of organs inside your chest that allow you to breathe. You inhale oxygen, which all cells need. Then you exhale a waste gas called carbon dioxide. This gas exchange happens inside tiny air sacs in your lungs. Lung cancer is a disease in which normal lung cells change into harmful abnormal cells called cancer cells. Cancer cells multiply to form clusters called tumors. These tumors grow and destroy healthy lung tissue. Lung cancer may spread to other parts of your body through blood or lymph fluid– a natural substance that helps gather unwanted waste material from your body. There are two main types of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. They are named for the kinds of cells in the cancer, and how they look under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is the most aggressive type of lung cancer. It grows and spreads more quickly. The most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. Other risk factors include breathing secondhand smoke, exposure to radon, having a family history of lung cancer, HIV infection, exposure to harmful chemicals, such as asbestos, and air pollution. Lung cancer may have no symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do appear, they may include chronic cough, chest pain, trouble breathing, coughing up blood, hoarseness, loss of appetite, trouble swallowing, weight loss, tiredness, and facial or neck swelling. If you have lung cancer, your doctor will need to determine the stage or progression of the disease to help plan your treatment. Non-small cell lung cancer has many stages. In the occult stage, cancer cells are found only in lung fluids. In Stage 0, abnormal or cancer cells are found in the lining of the airways. By Stage 1, a small tumor is found. Then in Stage 2, the cancer has grown or spread to nearby lymph nodes or non-lung tissues. In Stage 3A, the tumor has grown to any size. In addition, cancer is found in lymph nodes on the same side of the chest or in nearby organs. Stage 3B is similar to 3A. But in 3B, cancer is found in lymph nodes on the opposite side of the chest. Cancer may also be found in lymph nodes above the collarbone. In Stage 4, tumors might be found in both lungs. Additionally, cancer may have spread to distant organs. There are fewer stages for small cell lung cancer. In its limited stage, cancer is found in one side of the chest only. In the extensive stage, cancer has spread to the other side of the chest or to distant organs. As you deal with a diagnosis of lung cancer, continue to talk to your doctor and your cancer care team.

Causes of Lung Abscesses

health No Comments »

Causes of Lung Abscesses

Please read and agree to the disclaimer before watching this video.
. The most important cause of lung abscesses in young people is the aspiration.
Dr. Mobeen Syed addresses that pulmonary aspiration can occur in many ways, which have discussed in the video.
Aspiration can occur during surgical procedures, in which nasal or oral flora may enter the lungs during intubation.
Another possibility is the aspiration of gastric contents. It mostly occurs in alcoholics, or in patients who have some neuronal damage.
Aspiration can occur in malnourished patients with suppressed reflexes.
Aspiration brings oral flora into the lungs. Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Haemophilus Influenzae are the dangerous oral flora which can cause aspiration pneumonia and lung abscesses.
The aspiration of gastric acids can cause local necrosis of lung tissue.
The bronchial obstruction is a cause of lung abscess. Obstruction occurs in the path of the airway, the distal part of the airway fills with the fluid that becomes an abscess. In the elderly, if a tumor blocks the airway, then the tumor-fragments can fill the distal part of the airway and become an abscess.

The following topics have discussed in the video:
* Causes of lung abscesses
* Aspiration as a cause of lung abscess
* Lung abscess due to bacterial pneumonia
* Lung abscess due to bronchial obstruction
* Lung abscesses due to ejected tumor
* Lung abscesses due to septic embolism
* Lung abscess due to hematogenic dissemination …

Mark Block, MD, Chief of Thoracic Surgery, Memorial Cancer Institute discusses lung cancer surgery; what to expect.
Video Rating: / 5

When you’re first diagnosed, you’ll naturally be looking at the lung cancer survival rate statistics which are undeniably daunting and bleak. Just 19% of those diagnosed at stage 4 survive more than 12 months. But now more than ever, those living with lung cancer are living better, longer lives thanks to the power of research and advancements in treatment.

It’s true that life expectancy statistics don’t paint a pretty picture, and it’s so normal to feel anxious, worried, concerned, and fearful about the future. But advances in science and research mean we’re seeing new and emerging treatments, together with greater research, and those living with lung cancer are able to participate in an increasing number of clinical trials.

Lung Foundation Australia is here to help you lead the best life you can by connecting you and your loved ones to support and care, linking you to life-saving clinical trials and supporting active participation in lung health research.

Lung Abscess: Explanation of Chest X-ray Findings

A lung abscess typically appears as a focal round mass with a central cavity and a gas-fluid level. The outer wall of the cavity is poorly defined due to surrounding consolidation, while the inner margin is relatively sharp. There is a collection of gas and fluid within the cavity; a sharp horizontal line divides a dark radiolucency (i.e., gas) from the dense opacity (i.e., fluid) below it.
