Corticosteroids
100
This procedure in which a probe is introduced into the the central airways through a bronchoscope and heat is applied (through radio frequency waves) to airways 3 to 10 mm diameter,with the goal to reduce the airway smooth muscle mass, reducing the ability of the airways to constrict

==DAILY DOUBLE==(Both teams write down wager amount and answer) Kim R. is a 32 y/o female brought by EMS to ER after a motor vehicle accident which she suffered a broken femur, multiple lacerations, and a possible ruptured spleen. Paramedics state that Kim R. has lost several units of blood at the scene, but the bleeding was stopped before she was transported to the ER. Upon entering the ER, she is semi conscious and has the following vital signs: pulse: weak and 122/min; RR 34/min; BP 80/60 mmHg; body temperature is normal. A CVP catheter is placed, and the initial reading is zero. What is your initial assessment of the patient at this point?
The CVP reading of 0 mm Hg and the Bp of 80/60 mm Hg indicate significant hypovolemia. The narrow pulse pressure is consistent with a low SV, probably the result of poor preload of the heart. The patient is suffering from HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK

====DAILY DOUBLE===( Both teams answer and select wager) John Smith is a 70 y/o male, chief complaint is severe dyspnea on excertion; increasing gradually over the past several years. He has had severe kyphoscoliosis from his teenage years. He denies history of cough, sputum production, smoking, working in a polluted environment, or respiratory disease. Physical examination reveals tachypnea, tachycardia, jugular venous distention, ankle edema, and kyphoscoliosis. What is the likely cause of these symptoms
Kyphoscoliosis-causes reduction in the size of the thoracic cage and can severely compromise lung expansion and eventually result in pulmonary hypertention, which can cause right heart failure, resulting in elevated jugular venous distention and pedal edema
