Pneumoperitoneum is the abnormal presence of air in the peritoneal cavity. It can be caused by perforated hollow organs due to conditions like peptic ulcer disease, bowel obstruction, or appendicitis. It can also be caused iatrogenically due to medical procedures like laparoscopy or peritoneal dialysis. On a chest x-ray, free air under the diaphragm or the cupola sign may be seen. An abdominal x-ray may show signs like the double wall sign or gas outlining organs. Ultrasound can also detect free air in the peritoneal cavity. Large amounts of pneumoperitoneum can cause continuous diaphragm or football signs on imaging.

CT Enteroclysis
CT enteroclysis involves placing a nasojejunal tube and using it to instill contrast into the small bowel under fluoroscopy. CT enterography involves having the patient drink oral contrast. Both techniques use IV contrast to evaluate the bowel wall, enhancement, blood vessels, and for signs of bleeding. CT enteroclysis allows for more distal small bowel evaluation but enterography is more comfortable for patients. Indications include investigating Crohn's disease, small bowel obstruction, and unexplained GI bleeding. The procedure involves bowel preparation, premedication, and imaging the abdomen with thin slices during arterial and venous phases to fully evaluate the small bowel and other organs.

Lung Abscess 2010
Lung abscess is caused by microbial infection that leads to necrosis of lung tissue, forming a cavity. Symptoms include cough, expectoration of purulent sputum, and abnormalities on imaging. Lung abscesses are usually polymicrobial infections from oral anaerobes following aspiration. Risk factors include predisposition to aspiration, poor dental health, and conditions compromising immunity. Diagnosis involves chest imaging showing cavitary lesions and microbiological testing of sputum or lung aspirates. Treatment involves antibiotics and drainage of complications like empyema.

Lung abscess
This document discusses lung abscess, including its definition, causes, microbiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. A lung abscess is a localized infection and necrosis of lung tissue, often caused by aspiration of oral or gastric contents, that produces a cavity within the lung. It commonly presents with cough, sputum production and fever. Diagnosis is made through chest imaging showing a lung cavity. Treatment involves prolonged use of antibiotics active against the typical bacterial causes, such as clindamycin and metronidazole, for 4-6 weeks.
lung abscess
The document discusses lung abscess, including its definition, classification, microbiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment. A lung abscess is a microbial infection that causes necrosis of lung tissue, forming a cavity. It is usually caused by aspiration of oral anaerobic bacteria. Symptoms include cough, sputum production and fever. Diagnosis involves imaging showing a cavity with an air-fluid level. Treatment involves long-term antibiotics targeting the causative bacteria. Surgery is rarely needed except for failure of medical management or an underlying condition.
Lung absces
Lung abscess is a collection of pus within the lungs caused by aspiration or infection, usually by anaerobic bacteria. Risk factors include periodontal disease, impaired swallowing, and conditions causing altered consciousness. Symptoms include cough with purulent sputum and chest pain. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, bronchoscopy, and culture of sputum. Treatment is long-term IV and oral antibiotics, postural drainage, and surgery if antibiotics fail or cause massive hemoptysis. Prevention involves good oral hygiene and care to prevent aspiration during unconsciousness or seizures.

A lung abscess is a localized cavity filled with pus in the lung, usually caused by a bacterial infection. Common causes include infections by anaerobic bacteria, aspiration of foreign materials, and complications from conditions like pneumonia or tumors. Symptoms include cough with foul smelling sputum, chest pain, fever, and dyspnea. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, CT scan, and sputum culture. Treatment consists of antibiotics based on culture results, drainage procedures, and surgery if complications develop.

Empyema is the accumulation of pus in the pleural space caused by a lung infection spreading. It is classified into three stages based on the fluid characteristics. Common causes are bacterial pneumonias like Streptococcus pneumoniae. Symptoms include fever, cough, and chest pain. Chest x-ray or ultrasound can detect fluid buildup. Treatment involves antibiotics, drainage of pus, and occasionally surgery. The goal is to clear the infection, expand the lung, and resolve symptoms. Complications may include persistent fever, abscesses, or fistulae if not properly treated.

Pleural effusion is an abnormal buildup of fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. It is common in the Philippines, with over 100,000 cases diagnosed annually. Pleural effusions can be uncomplicated or complicated, transudative or exudative, depending on the presence of inflammation or infection and the fluid's protein content. They are usually caused by conditions like heart failure, pneumonia, lung cancer, or pulmonary embolism. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging like chest x-rays and CT scans, and thoracentesis to analyze fluid samples. Management may include antibiotics, diuretics, thoracentesis, chest tube placement, or pleurodesis to prevent further
Radiology of Tuberculosis

Radiological images are included to demonstrate various manifestations of pulmonary and pleural TB.
Lung abscess
The patient is diagnosed with lung abscess based on his symptoms of productive cough, fever and chest heaviness along with abnormal chest x-ray findings. As the patient has a history of water pipe use, the lung abscess is classified as secondary and due to his COPD, it is chronic in nature. Diagnostic workup would include sputum culture, CT chest and percutaneous needle aspiration for confirmation. Treatment involves long-term IV antibiotics targeting anaerobes along with drainage and supportive care.
Empyema and nursing care
An empyema is a collection of thick, purulent fluid in the pleural space, usually developing after pneumonia. It is caused by bacterial infections such as streptococcus pneumoniae and staphylococcus aureus entering the pleural space through the lung or bloodstream. Risk factors include lung diseases and conditions weakening the immune system. Treatment involves needle aspiration, antibiotics, and sometimes surgery to remove infected tissue and drainage tubes.
