Chest

Patients that present with chest pain and acute coronary symptoms are taken very seriously. Chest pain protocol order sets are put into place quickly upon the patient's arrival to the hospital to see if the chest pain is cardiac or non cardiac related. The chest pain protocol is driven by evidence based practice to increase patient safety and expedite care. At my place of employment (a rural ER without a cardiac cath lab), the chest pain protocol consists of: performing an EKG within…

results in a partial or complete collapse of a lung (Crimlisk, 2010). There are three classifications of a pneumothorax which include open, closed, and tension. An open pneumothorax occurs when an opening in the chest wall allows air to enter into the pleural space which occurs from chest traumas like stabbings and gun shots, or surgical thoracotomies (Crimlisk, 2010). A closed pneumothorax is when air accumulates in the pleural space without any external wounds, and is known as a spontaneous…

Intrapleural Chemotherapy for Treating Mesothelioma Intrapleural perfusion of heated chemotherapy (ITH) is the chest counterpart of heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). It is part of a surgical strategy traditionally used to treat pleural mesothelioma. Treating Pleural Mesothelioma Intrapleural chemotherapy can be given into the pleural cavity (the space between the lung and the lining of the lung). It is normally reserved for patients with very advanced disease, for which treatment…

the airway open, look for chest movement and signs of breathing (for maximum of 10 seconds). Ignore any agonal breathing (occasional gasps, slow, laboured, or noisy breathing) which is common in the early stages of cardiac arrest - it should not be taken as a sign of life. If breathing, turn into the recovery position. Check help has been called and continually assess that breathing remains normal. If there is any doubt about the presence of normal breathing, start chest compressions (see…

A pneumothorax is a condition in which air gets trapped between the lungs and the chest wall. This pressure causes the lung to collapse inward onto itself. As member of both the Army National Guard and Army ROTC, I am very interested in this topic since it is a serious injury that can occur due to traumas on the battlefield. In army lingo, this injury is referred to as a sucking chest wound. We are instructed to treat it during basic combat lifesaving courses. I understand that medical treatment…

breast usually increases a cup size and one to two sizes contour of the chest (for example from a 36 C to a 38 D). From the third month of pregnancy you should take a firmer than you normally wear a bra. The chest volume changes during pregnancy up even in periods of a day. Bravado authentic fastener adapts to such changes thanks to its cut and prepared material (eg: 36-40 C-D instead of only 38 D). Ask yourself: What contour chest had before pregnancy? Does your bra elastic was fair or wide?…

skin nick is cleaned and dressed, and a repeat scan is obtained to rule out the presence of a pneumothorax. Most institutions obtain two post-biopsy chest radiographs, one immediate baseline and a repeat 2-3-hour study, to ensure no enlarging pneumothorax. The patients are observed until the follow up radiograph is obtained while fasting in case a chest tube insertion is needed (Fig. 5). The patient is discharged if the follow up radiograph shows no evidence of developing pneumothorax (Fig.…
