|
BUN and creatinine ratio in ARF

- fixed (they both increase at the same time and rate)
- when BUN increases faster than creatinine the problem is usually volume depletion, muscle breakdown, or increased intake of protein |

can't secrete H or reabsorb bicarb --> metabolic acidosis --> Kussmaul respirations
--> kyperkalemia (make sure on cardiac monitor!!) --> can't activate Vitamin D --> hyponatremia (tubules can't conserve Na) --> low calcium --> increased phosphate --> impaired RBC production/anemia--> infection risk |
|

pneumothorax
|
complete or partial collapse of lung
- aire in intrapleural space |

- Closed- no external wound (spontaneous pneumothorax with rupture of small blebs) - Open- - Tension |
|
Open Pneumothorax tx
|
- cover with vented dressing secured on 3 out of 4 sides
- medical emergency! |
|
Tension pneumothorax
|
- from open or closed pneumothorax
- could be caused by vented dressing not venting or clamped or blocked chest tube - emergency! |
|
Subcu emphysema
|
one of the signs of pneumothorax
- feels like bubble wrap under skin, sounds like rice crispies |
|
Normal intrapleural pressures
|
below atmospheric pressure
inspiration- -8 to -10 expiration- -4 to -5 cm H2O |
|
Empyma
|
purulent pleural fluid (associated with lung abscess or pneumonia)
|
|
Thoracotomy position
|
sitting on edge of bed with arms on edge of table for thorocentesis
can also lay down with affected side up |
|
3 compartments of chest tube drainage system
|
- Collection chamber (receives fluid and air from chest cavity)
- water seal chamber (one way air valve, always want water in the chamber) - Suction control chamber |
|
Suction control chamber
|
- to apply suction if needed
- typically 20 cm of water - amount of suction is regulated by the amount of water in the chamber, not the amount of suction applied to system - suction is usually ordered to -20 cm H2O (can go up to -40 too) - If it is a dry suction control chamber there is no water. To increase suction you have to turn the dial on drainage system, vacuum source will not increase the pressure |
|
Water seal chamber
|
- 2 cm water
- initially brisk bubbles of aire in chamber as pneumpthorax is evacuated - during normal use there will be intermittedn bubbling during exhalation, coughing, or xneezing - want normal fluctuation (tidling) of water during I and E. Rises with inspiration and falls with expiration (opposite with mechanical ventilation). - If bubbling increases there could be an air leak - if it ceases or tidling ceases then lungs could be reexpanded or blocked also |
|
Care of tubing, etc.
|
- no milking or stripping of chest tube without Dr order
- stat chest xray after insertion - Never clamp with a dr's order (unless quickly checking for air leaks) - auscultate lungs and check for subcu emphysema around site - keep clamp by bedside for emergencies of massive airleak, etc. |
|
If chest tube dislodges
|
- apply 3 sided gauze, 1 side vented
- notify MD and stat chest x-ray - assess resp status - monitor vital signs - if it just came off the drainage system, quickly recommect and have pt cough and exhale to stabilize negative pressure, reestablish water seal |
|
Chest tube removal
|
- medicate pt before!!
- gravity drained for 24 hours before removal - cut sutures, check if will need vaseline gauze - valsalva as it is being removed - airtight dressing and assess for drainage - post chest x-ray with "wet" reading (quick reading) - ausc. lungs and assess resp status - vitals |
|
most commonly fractured ribs
|
- 5-10 (4-9)
|
|
#1 worry with rib fractures
|
atelectasis (hurts to breath), #1 sign is pain
|
|
Empyma s/s
|
- s/s of pleural effusion
- fever - night sweats - weight loss - cough (sounds like TB) |
|
lung abscesses are frequently caused by
|
aspiration
|
|
Stop tracheal suctioning if
|
- arrhythmias
- HR drops 20 bmp - HR increases 40 bpm - SpO2 drops < 90% |
