PPT Info
what is the name of the anterior rami T12 nerve
subcostal
name the classification of ribs (classified on their attachments) and what ribs are included within each
true (1-7) --> sternum
false (8 - 10) --> sternum (via cartilage)
floating (11 + 12) --> no anterior attachment
if an individual is stabbed deep between his ribs what condition could occur
presentation of condition
pneumothorax --> atelectasis
deviation of trachea toward affected, elevation of diaphragm, decreased intercostal space, tachypnea
explain how a pulmonary embolism occurs
presentation of this
blood clot travels to the heart and through pulmonary artery to a lung
acute respiratory distress **emergency**
what nerve could apical lung cancer affect and presentation of this
recurrent laryngeal
hoarseness
explain cardiac tamponade
presentation
severity
fluid buildup in the pericardial sac
veins of neck and face engorged due to blood backup (can't from SVC to get through heart)
emergency - (fluid volume increase -> increased pressure --> increased strain on heart and eventual failure)
list the location of auscultation that corresponds with each valve
R 2nd ICS sternal border (aortic)
L 2nd ICS sternal border (pulmonic)
L 4th or 5th sternal border (tricuspid)
L 5th ICS midclavicular line (mitral)
explain stenosis vs insufficiency of valve
valve hardening (hard for blood to get through) vs valves don't close completely (some blood travels into previous chamber)
if an individual is stabbed deep between his ribs what condition could occur
presentation of condition
pneumothorax -->atelectasis
deviation of trachea towards affected,
why use a defibrillator
resets electrical activity of hearts in hope then after a few seconds normal rhythm will resume
