If PPD is posative, and X-ray shows TB, then next test is deffinitive and rapid but very expensive so is not used initially
PCR assay
measures all the air lungs can contain
pulmonary function test PFT
medication that must be held 24 hours after IV contrast is given (injected dye) as it is hard on the kidneys
metformin (Glucophage)
5 types of oral hypoglycemic agents
biguanides, thiazolidinediones, alpha glucose inhibitors, sulfonylureas, meglitinides

emergency situation with airways
Stridor
forced air thru edematous or obstructed airway
Stridor
what might barrell chest be an indication of?
Chronic bronchitis
what might clubbed fingers be an indication of?
Chronic hypoxia
air passing through moisture especially in small airways and alveoi
Crackles (rales)
organism enters alveoli, producing inflammation causing an outpouring of fluid, walls thicken and limits gas exchange

pneumonia IV antibiotic
ceftriaxone(Rocephin)
pneumonia IV antibiotic
cefoperazone(Cefobid)
pneumonia IV antibiotic

bronchodilator
metaproterenol(alupent)
bronchodilator
aminophylline/theophylline(Thro-Dur)(oral or IV)
bronchodilator
bronchodilator that is a capsule dropped into a device that then coats the lungs with a fine powder
spiriva
medication used to decrease inflammation in lungs
prednisone (steroids)
chronic long term use of prednisone to this syndrome leads
cushings
signs of long term steroid use include
poor wound healing, hyperglycemic, fragile skin, weight gain, irritability
symptoms of cushings
acne, moon face, body hair, red cheeks, pouch of fat under clavicle and on back, thin extremities
can latent TB turn active?
yes in the first 2 years of getting it, it might
TB is caused by inflammatory response to bacteria, which produces small nodules, this causes the surrounding tissue to erode in a process called...
liquification
nodules in lungs press on surrounding tissue which causes it to...
have ischemia and necrosis (caseation necrosis)
where does initial TB infection occur?
in the middle or lower lobes of the lungs (can form nodules in other organs)
who is at higher risk of pneumonia?
Immunocompromised people like HIV patients, cancer patients, chronic steroid users, and transplant patients
what is pneumonia?
an acute infection of the parenchyma of the lungs. Fluid pools in the inflammed area.
air passing thru secretions in a partially constricted air passage. May need to be suctioned
gurgles (rhonchi)
medication that must be held 24 hours after IV contrast is given (injected dye) as it is hard on the kidneys
metformin (Glucophage)
med that decreases hepatic glucose production and decreases intestinal absorbtion of glucose, give with food
biguanides
med that improves a cell sensativity to insulin, can be given with or without food
thiazolidinesdiones
two types of thiazolidinesdiones
ploglitazzone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia)
med that delays absorption of GI tract, it's expensive and MUST be given with the first bite of food
Alpha glucose inhibitors
medication type that stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin and some also improve cell sensitivity to insulin
