view thoracic cavity with all its contents in motion, dx location of tumor or lesion

most common, size, shape and position of lungs and other structures of the thorax, screens for asymptomatic dz and to diagnose tumors, foreign bodies, abnormal conditions

radioisotope, assess arterial circulation of the lungs, pulmary emboli, cath in arm vein thru the right atrium and ventricle int eh pulmonary artery, dye in femoral artery, during the nurse assess the pt's level of anxiety and knowledge of procedure, will feel pressure on cath insertion, warm, flushed feeling, urge to cough

early morning or after an aersol tx, 3 days, return to lab asap in bio bag with order

vq scan, gallium scan, pet scan

scan for pulmonary embolism, dye, patterns of blood flow thru the lungs and patterns of air and distrubution in the lungs, also for lung cancer, copd, pulmonary edema.

determine inflammatory conditions exist within the lungs or if abscesses, adhesions or tumors are present. iv inj of gallium, dye, scans taken at various intervals up to 48 hrs after inj, scan shows dye uptake by the lung tissues

dyw with advanced technology that show the differnt normal and abnomal tissue and view metabolic changes withing hte lung tissue, malignancies by showing blood flow and functioning of the organs and tissue

direct visual of the larynx, trachea, bronchi flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, thru the nose or mouth or through a trach, used to diagnose, treat, eval lung dz, obtain a biopsy, sputum, pulmonary cleansing, remove a foreign body

copd e/b chronic infection and irreversible dilation of the bronchi and bronchioles

prolonged or extended inflamm of the bronchi, e/b a chronic cough and excessive production of mucus for at least 3 months each year for two consecutive years

broad, nonspecific term that describes a group of pulmonary disorders with s/s of chronic cough and expectoration, dyspnea, impaired expiratory airflow

multi system disorder affecting infants, children and young adults that results from a defective autosomal recessive gene; the genetic mutation causes dysfunction of the exocrine glands, involving hte mucus-secreting and eccrine sweat glands,

copd e/b abnormal distention of the alveoli

collection of pus in the pleural cavity

disorder occurs when there is two or more adjacement ribs fracture in multiple places and the fragments are free-floating; affects the stability of the chest wall and impairment of chest wall movement

e/b blood or bloody sputum

acute viral respiratory dz of relatively short duration

surgical removal of a lobe of a lung

localized area of pus formation within the lung parenchyma

breathing that is eased by sitting upright

collection of fluid between the visceral and parietal pleurae

infammation of the pleura

fibrous inflammation or chronic induration of the lungs after prolonged exposure to dust or gases

surgical removal of the entire lung

inflamm process affecting the bronchioles and the alveoli

air that enters the pleural space causing a lung to collapse

crushing bruise of the lung

fluid accumulation in the interstinium and alveoli of the lungs which interferes with gas exchange in the alveoli

thrombus that migrates to the pulmonary circulation

high pressure within pulmonary circulation

decreased volume of the lungs with an inability to expand completely

surgical removal of a segment of a lung

conditions resulting from microorganisms escaping the lumph nodes and reaching the bloodstream, which may lead to sepsis

fibrous inflamm or chronic induration of the lungs caused by the inhalation of silica

presence of air in the subq tissues

surgical opening of the thorax

inflamm of the trachea

inflamm of the mucous membrane that lines the trachea

removal of the entire lung

seg of lung removed

removal of small, pie shaped area of the segment

for cancers that have invaded the chest wall

inflamm process w/bronchioles and alveioli, can result from radiation, chemical, inhalation, aspiration or foregin bodies, or gastric contents
