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

What happens during inhalation?
The diaphragm contracts, increasing thoracic cavity volume and decreasing pressure, causing air to flow into the lungs.

What occurs during exhalation?
Diaphragm relaxes, reducing thoracic cavity volume, increasing intrapulmonary pressure, allowing air to flow out of the lungs.

What is a closed pneumothorax?
Intact chest wall with rupture of the lung or visceral pleura, allowing air into the pleural space.

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

What is a tension pneumothorax?
Air enters pleural space from lung or airway with no exit, leading to increased pressure and potential cardiac arrest.

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.

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'.

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.

What are common assessment findings for hemothorax and pleural effusion?
Navegue pelos seus cards aqui, ou sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What is a sucking chest wound?
Another term for open pneumothorax, where air moves in and out of the chest through an opening.

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.

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.
Navegue pelos seus cards aqui, ou sign up to study with spaced repetition.
Where should blood/fluid be inserted during chest tube placement?
At the bottom; air rises, so air tubes go at the top.

What helps restore negative pressure in chest tube management?
Navegue pelos seus cards aqui, ou sign up to study with spaced repetition.
How is the chest tube secured?
The tube is cinched into place, and a good dressing is required to prevent dislodgement.

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.

What is the purpose of the water seal chamber?
It prevents air from going back into the pleural space and helps maintain negative pressure.
Navegue pelos seus cards aqui, ou sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What indicates an air leak in the chest tube system?
Bubbling in the water seal indicates air leaving the chest.

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.

What should be monitored to assess chest tube function?
Use PaTCh: - Patient - Tubing - Chamber
