|
A condition in which collapse of all or a portion of a lung occurs as the result of obstruction of the bronchus or puncture of an air passage way. May cause heart and trachea to shift to affected side. *Increase(+) technique
|
Atelectasis
|
|
|
Mechanical obstruction; is most common in small children when foreign objects are aspirated into the air passages of the bronchial tree. *Soft tissue technique for upper airway(-)
|
Aspiration
|
|
|
An irreversible dilation or widening of bronchi or bronchioles that may result from repeated pulmonary infection or obstruction.Areas of bronchial walls are destroyed and become chronically inflamed, resulting in increased mucus production. *(0) no change in technique
|
Bronchiectasis
|
|
|
An acute or chronic condition in which excessive mucus is secreted into the bronchi, causing cough and shortness of breath. Chief cause is smoking and infectious is caused by viruses or bacteria. *(0) no change in technique
|
Bronchitis
|
|
|
A form of persistent obstruction of the airways that usually causes difficulty in emptying the lungs of air; may be caused by emphysema or chronic bronchitis or asthma. *Technique changes in severe cases only
|
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
|
|
|
A condition in which secretions of heavy mucus cause progressive clogging of bronchi and bronchioles. Most common inherited disease. *(+) increase with severe cases
|
Cystic Fibrosis
|
|
|
A condition of shortness of breath, which creates a sensation of difficulty in breathing. most common in elderly and may be caused by pulmonary edema. * Change depends on case
|
Dyspnea
|
|
|
An irreversible and chronic lung disease in which air spaces in the alveoli become greatly enlarged as a result of alveolar wall destruction and loss of alveolar elasticity. Air is not expelled during expiration. *(-) Significantly decrease, dependent on severity
|
Emphysema
|
|
|
Most common in children ages 2-5. Life threatening condition which can develop very rapidly. A soft tissue lateral of the upper airway may demonstrate edema or swelling at the point of the epiglottis.*(-) Sot tissue lateral technique
|
Epiglottitis
|
|
|
Most common benign pulmonary mass and it generally is found in peripheral regions of the lungs. No change in technique
|
Benign Lung Neoplasia
|
|
|
Many types of lung cancers have been identified, more than 90% start in bronchi. Less common is alveolar cell carcinoma. *(0) No change in technique
|
Malignant Lung Neoplasia
|
|
|
A condition of abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. *(+) Increase technique
|
Pleural Effusion
|
|
|
Pus pleural effusion.*(+) Increase
|
Empyema
|
|
|
Blood pleural effusionl. *(+) increase
|
Hemothorax
|
|
|
An inflammation of the lungs that results in accumulation of fluid within certain sections of the lungs, creating increased radiodensities in these regions. *(0) No change
|
Pneumonia
|
|
|
Caused by aspiration of a foreign object or food into the lungs, which irritates the bronchi, resulting in edema. *(0) No change
|
Aspiration Pneumonia
|
|
|
Bronchitis of both lungs that most commonly is caused b streptococcus bacteria. *(0) No change
|
Bronchopneumonia
|
|
|
Confined to one or two lobes of the lungs. *(0) No change
|
Lobar Pneumonia
|
|
|
inflammation of the alveloi and connection lung structures. *(0) No change
|
Viral Pneumonia
|
|
|
An accumulation of air the pleural space that cause partial or complete collapse of that lung and results in immediate. *(0) Noc change
|
pneumoohorax
|
|
|
A condition of excess fluid within the lung that most frequently is caused by a backup in pulmonary circulation commonly associated with congestive heart failure. * (+) Increase technique in severe cases
|
Pulmonary Edema
|
|
|
An emergency condition in which the alveoli and capillaries of the lung are injured or infected, resulting in leakage of fluid and blood into the spaces between alveoli or into the alveoli themselves with formation of hyaline membranes.* (+) increase without obscuring pathology
|
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)
|
|
|
A contagious disease that is caused by airborne bacteria. *(0)Primary no change. *(+) Secondary slightly increase
|
Tuberulosis
|
|
|
Caused by deposits of coal dust. *(0) No change in technique
|
Occupational Lung Disease
Anthracosis |
|
|
Caused by inhalation of asbestos dust that results in pulmonary fibrosis. *(0) No change in technique
|
Occupational Lung Disease
Asbestosis |
|
|
Is a permanent condition of the lungs that is caused by inhalation of silica dust, a form of sand dust. *(0) No Change in Technique
|
Occupational Lung Disease
Silicosis |
