  • What are the main structures in the thoracic cavity?


    • Right and left lungs
    • Mediastinum
    • Heart
    • Aorta and great vessels
    • Esophagus
    • Trachea

  • What are the main structures in the thoracic cavity?


    • Right and left lungs
    • Mediastinum
    • Heart
    • Aorta and great vessels
    • Esophagus
    • Trachea
    anatomy thoracic_cavity
  • What happens during inhalation?


    Diaphragm contracts, increasing thoracic cavity volume, decreasing pressure, allowing air to flow into the lungs (intrapulmonary pressure).

    respiration inhalation
  • What happens during inhalation?


    The diaphragm contracts, increasing thoracic cavity volume and decreasing pressure, causing air to flow into the lungs.

    physiology respiration
  • What occurs during exhalation?


    Diaphragm relaxes, reducing thoracic cavity volume, increasing intrapulmonary pressure, allowing air to flow out of the lungs.

    respiration exhalation
  • What occurs during exhalation?


    The diaphragm relaxes, reducing thoracic cavity volume, increasing intrapulmonary pressure, and allowing air to flow out.

    physiology respiration
  • What are the two types of pleura surrounding the lungs?


    • Parietal pleura (lines chest wall)
    • Visceral pleura (covers the lung)
    anatomy pleura
  • What is the function of pleura?


    The pleura surrounds the lungs, keeping them expanded and allowing membranes to slide together.

    anatomy pleura
  • What are the indications for chest tubes?


    • Pneumothorax
    • Hemothorax
    • Empyema
    • Pleural effusions
    • Thoracotomy
    • Bronchopleural fistula
    • Penetrating wound
    • Chylothorax

    • Pleural effusions
    • Thoracotomy
    • Bronchopleural fistula
    • Penetrating wound
    • Chylothorax

  • What is a closed pneumothorax?


    Intact chest wall with rupture of the lung or visceral pleura, allowing air into the pleural space.

    pneumothorax closed
  • What is a closed pneumothorax?


    It occurs when the chest wall is intact, but a rupture allows air into the pleural space.

    medical pneumothorax
  • What is a tension pneumothorax?


    Air enters pleural space from lung or airway with no exit, leading to increased pressure and potential cardiac arrest.

    pneumothorax tension
  • What is a tension pneumothorax?


    A life-threatening condition where air enters the pleural space and cannot escape, leading to increased pressure and potential cardiac arrest.

    medical pneumothorax
  • What is an open pneumothorax?


    Opening in the chest wall allowing atmospheric air to enter pleural space, often referred to as a 'sucking chest wound'.

    pneumothorax open
  • What is an open pneumothorax?


    An opening in the chest wall that allows atmospheric air to enter the pleural space, often due to penetrating trauma.

    medical pneumothorax
  • What are common assessment findings for hemothorax and pleural effusion?


    • Decreased or absent breath sounds
    • Shortness of breath (SOB)
    • Pain
    medical hemothorax
  • What is a sucking chest wound?


    Another term for open pneumothorax, where air moves in and out of the chest through an opening.

    medical pneumothorax
  • What is the goal of treatment for pleural conditions?


    Remove fluid and air, prevent return to pleural space, restore negative pressure to re-expand the lung.

    treatment pleural_conditions
  • What are the treatment goals for pleural conditions?


    • Remove fluid and air promptly
    • Prevent return of drained air and fluid
    • Restore negative pressure to re-expand the lung
    medical treatment
  • What is required before chest tube insertion?


    • Informed consent (2 medical personnel must sign)
    • Analgesic
    • Baseline vital signs
    medical procedures
  • What equipment is needed for chest drainage?


    • Thoracic chest tube
    • Chest tube drainage unit
    • Wall suction device
    • Tubing
    medical equipment
  • What equipment is needed for chest tube insertion?


    • Chest tube insertion tray
    • Sutures
    • Bottle of sterile water
    • Post insertion x-ray
    medical equipment
  • What is required before a chest tube insertion?


    • Informed consent (2 medical personnel sign)
    • Analgesic
    • Baseline vital signs
    medical procedures
  • What sizes do chest tubes come in?


    • Small tubes for air
    • Large tubes for blood/fluid
    medical tubes
  • What equipment is needed for chest tube insertion?


    • Chest tube insertion tray and sutures
    • Bottle of sterile water
    • Post insertion x-ray
    medical equipment
  • Where should chest tubes for blood/fluids and air be placed?


    • Blood/fluids at the bottom
    • Air at the top
    medical placement
  • What size tubes are used for chest tube insertion?


    • Larger tubes for blood/fluid
    • Smaller tubes for air
    medical tubes
  • What is important about the clamp position during chest tube insertion?


    The clamp should be on the top of the upper rib to avoid blood vessels/nerves.

    medical safety
  • Where should blood/fluid be inserted during chest tube placement?


    At the bottom; air rises, so air tubes go at the top.

    medical placement
  • What helps restore negative pressure in chest tube management?


    • Water seal chamber prevents air from going back in.
    • Suction applied based on water level.
    medical pressure
  • How is the chest tube secured?


    The tube is cinched into place, and a good dressing is required to prevent dislodgement.

    medical safety
  • How does gravity assist in fluid drainage?


    The chest drainage system must be below the level of the chest for gravity to help fluid drainage.

    medical drainage
  • What is the purpose of the water seal chamber?


    It prevents air from going back into the pleural space and helps maintain negative pressure.

    medical chamber
  • What indicates an air leak in the chest tube system?


    Bubbling in the water seal indicates air leaving the chest.

    medical monitoring
  • What helps with fluid drainage in a chest tube system?


    Gravity helps as long as the drainage system is below the level of the chest.

    medical drainage
  • What should be monitored to assess chest tube function?


    Use PaTCh: - Patient - Tubing - Chamber

    medical assessment
  • What indicates an air leak in a chest tube system?


    Bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates air leaving the chest.

    medical monitoring
  • What does continuous bubbling in the water seal chamber indicate?


    It indicates a system leak is happening.
