Pulmonary Physical Exam
Across
- 3. Increased vibration palpated on chest wall from secretions
- 4. shortness of breath while laying flat
- 5. The ICS is named for the rib ___
- 8. Breathing pattern described as apnea with deep breathing “ramp up”
- 9. Percussion note which is normal
- 10. Percussion note heard over a consolidation/ area of fluid
- 13. Breathing pattern described as irregular with periods of apnea alternating with regular and deep breathing
- 15. Term to describe fast breathing
- 17. Breathing pattern associated with diabetic ketoacidosis
- 18. Tracheal bifurcation to R and L mainstem
- 21. inflammation of the pleurae, which impairs their lubricating function and causes pain when breathing
- 24. Pleura, Lines the outer surface of lungs, no pain receptors
- 26. Pleura, Lines thoracic cavity, has pain receptors
- 27. Fissure that divides the lungs essentially in half
- 28. Respiratory ____ is 2-5 inches (5-12 cm) and symmetrical when taking a deep breath
- 29. “lung roots” Complicated anatomical structures, Includes: pulmonary vessels and the major bronchi
- 30. shortness of breath
- 32. Breath sound that is soft and low pitched. They are heard throughout inspiration
- 33. Intercostal space for chest tube insertion
- 34. Say “e” however heard as “a” due to fluid/ solid
- 35. aka sternal angle, 5cm below the suprasternal notch
- 37. Sensation of vibration which increases in dx like pneumonia
- 38. Active component of respiration, diaphragm contracts and descends
- 41. Louder transmission of voice sound through fluid/ solid
- 44. Chest depression in the lower portion of the sternum which may compress the heart and great vessels may cause murmurs
Down
- 1. Continuous, musical sounds due to airway obstruction
- 2. Whispered, but heard loudly due to fluid or solid
- 6. small airways where gas exchange starts
- 7. Position you find a patient in respiratory distress, “leaning forward on elbows”
- 11. Chest deformity from chronic hyperinflation
- 12. Breath sound which is discontinuous, intermittent, non-musical, can be fine or coarse
- 14. the functional tissue of an organ as distinguished from the connective and supporting tissue
- 16. formed by the points at which the chest wall and diaphragm meet
- 19. sign of respiratory distress, especially in pediatric where intercostal muscles are sucked in between the ribs on breathing
- 20. coughing up quantities of blood
- 22. With percussion it measures out about 3.5-5 cm on a deep inhalation
- 23. cessation of breathing
- 25. the relaxation of the diaphragm and exhalation due to elastin
- 31. Fissure that is only present in the right lung
- 36. Chest deformity in which sternum is displaced anteriorly with adjacent costal cartilage depression
- 39. Finger on the chest wall held tight and is struck with finger from opposite hand
- 40. Crackling “rice krispie” sound when pressing on skin caused by ptx
- 42. Intercostal space for needle decompression
- 43. Chest deformity acquired from a trauma
