A Texas teenager missed the start of his 11th grade year after he mysteriously fell ill.
Dominic Lopez’s family told Eyewitness News he’s been in the hospital since last Tuesday. He could barely tell his mother what was wrong.
“It was just a regular day. Thankfully, I work at home. He had just taken a shower. Shortly after that, he came to me in the kitchen. He was complaining of chest pain. He was holding his chest. He couldn’t really talk. He was taking really small breaths,” said his mother, Muriel Lopez. “Once I saw that, that he couldn’t really breathe properly … I put him in the truck because I knew I could get to the hospital faster than the ambulance could get to me.”
Muriel Lopez said in the four-minute drive to the hospital, she watched her son turn pale. She said doctors discovered her son’s left lung fully collapsed and diagnosed him with spontaneous pneumothorax. According to medical experts, tall and thin males teens are most susceptible.
Doctors put a tube in Dominic’s chest. He underwent surgery on Sunday.

“To me, I think getting this out there is the main thing. I’ve never heard of spontaneous pneumothorax before this. I had no idea that a young male who is tall and thin is more prone to get this condition,” said Dominic’s mom. “I have never heard of it. I was terrified. If you ever have any symptoms regarding your heart, chest, or your breathing … get to the nearest ER immediately.”

Where do I get my information from: http://armandoh.org/resource
“Interstitial lung disease also known as diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs) are a group of disorders based on similar clinical, radiographic, physiologic, and pathologic changes.
Present primarily with shortness of breath and a non productive cough usually chronic over weeks to months without response to initial treatment of puffers. If there is clinical suspicion of ILD a full pulmonary function test should be done. Characteristic changes of ILD include: reduced total lung capacity (TLC) and DLCO.
The diffuse parenchymal lung diseases are divided into those that are associated with known causes or unknown causes and other weird and wonderful rare causes.”

What are the Lung Apices? What is the apical portion of the lungs? This video covers the medical definition of this topic.
💥Respiratory System A&P [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ https://bit.ly/3i9IFC7
➡️ Lung Apices Definition
The lung apices are often referred to as the apical zone of the lungs or the lung apex. That is because, as the name suggests, this is the top or highest part of the lungs. In general, the upper lobes are overventilated compared to the lower lobes which tend to have more perfusion. This explains why the upper zones are primarily affected whenever there is a disease or condition that is related to inhalation.
➡️ Some examples include:
– Tuberculosis
– Sarcoidosis
– Extrinsic allergic alveolitis
➡️ Lung Apices Overview
Smoke inhalation predominately affects the upper lobes as well. In fact, cigarette smoking can lead to centrilobular emphysema which presents with upper lung lobe predominance. Diseases that cause impaired mucociliary clearance also affect the upper lobes and make it more difficult to remove secretions from the airways. Even in conditions such as pneumonia, you may notice consolidation on a chest radiograph in the upper lobes. While we have provided some useful tidbits on this topic, when it comes to the medical definition of the lung apices, the important thing to remember is that this is the upper portion of the lungs.

This animation is from our new program http://www.YouandLungCancer.com and explains how healthy lungs function and how lung cancer can occur. Non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer are the two major types of lung cancer. Physicians use noninvasive tests and invasive tests to diagnose lung cancer. Noninvasive tests include Chest x-rays, and CT scans and PET scans. Invasive tests include Bronchoscopy; Endobronchial ultrasound; Thoracentesis; Biomarker testing; and Biopsies, such as Fine needle aspiration (or FNA), Core needle biopsy, and surgical lung biopsy. Physicians need lung cancer staging information to plan treatment. Lung cancer is classified into numerous stages – the higher the stage the more advanced the spread of the cancer and typically the more aggressive the treatment. In Stage 0 cancer it is only the top layers of cells in the lining of air passages in the lungs. This is the easiest stage to treat with highest survivorship. Stage IV lung cancer is the most difficult to treat, having spread to the other lung, the lymph nodes outside the lungs, and other parts of the body.
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.
