Pleural effusion
This document discusses pleural effusions, which occur when fluid accumulates in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. A small amount of fluid is normal but excess fluid can accumulate if the rate of fluid formation exceeds drainage by lymphatics. Effusions are classified as transudative or exudative based on their protein content and cell characteristics. Common causes of transudative effusions include heart failure and cirrhosis, while exudative effusions have infectious or inflammatory causes like pneumonia or cancer. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging like chest x-ray, and analyzing pleural fluid obtained via thoracentesis.
Pleural effusion
Normally, the pleural space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), which acts as a lubricant that allows the pleural surfaces to move without friction.
But if fluid builds up from either increased production or inadequate removal pleural effusion results.
Pleural effusion B/L or unilateral (parapneumonic process)
Refers to any significant collection of fluid within pleural space.
Any imbalance in formation, absorption lead accumulation of pleural fluid. Common condition:
CHF
Bacterial pneumonia
Malignancy(chest tumor)
Pulmonary embolism
Pleura effusion is a condition refers to a collection of fluid in the pleural space. It is almost secondary to other conditions.
Pleural effusion
Pleural effusion is an accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. It can impair breathing by limiting lung expansion. Common causes include infections, cancer, heart failure, or injuries. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain with breathing, and cough. Diagnosis involves physical exam, chest x-ray, and thoracentesis to sample fluid. Treatment goals are to determine the underlying cause, prevent reaccumulation of fluid, and relieve symptoms. Procedures include thoracentesis, chest tube insertion, and chemical or surgical pleurodesis. The nurse's role is to assist with procedures, monitor drainage, and educate the patient.
Om pleural effusion
The document defines and describes pleural effusion, which is an abnormal collection of fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. There are two main types of pleural effusions - transudative and exudative. Transudative effusions are caused by increased pressure or low protein in blood vessels, while exudative effusions are caused by inflammation or injury leading to fluid leakage. Common causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options are discussed. Treatment aims to remove fluid, prevent reaccumulation, and address the underlying cause. Complications can include lung damage or infection if fluid is present for a long time.

Pleural effusion occurs when an abnormal amount of fluid collects in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. It can be caused by conditions that increase hydrostatic pressure or decrease oncotic pressure (transudative), or by inflammation from infections, cancer, pulmonary embolism (exudative). Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray and thoracentesis to analyze fluid. Treatment focuses on resolving the underlying cause, relieving symptoms by draining fluid, and preventing reaccumulation through procedures like pleurodesis. Nursing care centers around breathing treatments, pain management, infection prevention, and monitoring for complications.
Pleural effusion
This document provides information about pleural effusions. It defines a pleural effusion as excess fluid buildup between the pleural layers outside the lungs. Normally a small amount of fluid is present and circulated, but over 25mL is considered an effusion. Effusions are classified as transudative or exudative based on their characteristics. Symptoms include chest pain and breathing difficulties. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging like x-rays, and fluid analysis. Management depends on the underlying cause but may include drainage, medication, or surgery in severe cases.
Pleural effusion
A pleural effusion occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity, resulting in impaired breathing. Various types of pleural effusions exist depending on the fluid composition and cause. Common causes include heart failure, cirrhosis, infections, tumors, and trauma. Diagnosis involves physical exam, chest x-ray, ultrasound, and diagnostic thoracentesis. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, diuretics, thoracentesis, chest tubes, pleurodesis, or indwelling catheters. Complications can include lung scarring, pneumothorax, empyema, and sepsis.

Oliguria and anuria
Oliguria is a low urine output defined as less than 1 mL/kg/hr in infants, less than 0.5 mL/kg/hr in children, and less than 300 mL daily in adults. It indicates an underlying disorder and can lead to acute renal failure if left untreated. Anuria is even less urine output at less than 50 mL/day. Causes of oliguria and anuria include pre-renal (low blood volume), renal (kidney damage), and post-renal (urinary tract obstruction). Evaluation and management depends on determining the cause through history, physical exam, urinalysis, and blood tests to guide volume replacement or other interventions to prevent further kidney injury.

- A lung abscess is a localized area of lung tissue destruction greater than 2cm in diameter caused by pyogenic bacterial infection.
- In the pre-antibiotic era, 1/3 of lung abscess patients died, another 1/3 recovered, and the remaining 1/3 developed chronic illnesses.
- Risk factors include dental/sinus infections, impaired swallowing, gastric issues, and pre-existing lung diseases. Common causative organisms are described.
Pneumothorax ppt 368 final....
This document defines pneumothorax and discusses its types, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment. It notes that pneumothorax is the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity, causing lung collapse. There are several types including spontaneous, traumatic, and iatrogenic. Signs and symptoms depend on the size and extent of the pneumothorax. Diagnosis involves physical exam and imaging tests. Treatment goals are to remove air promptly using techniques such as oxygen supplementation, aspiration, chest tube drainage, or surgery. The nurse's role includes assisting with chest tube insertion and monitoring for complications.
Dyspnea
Dyspnea, or shortness of breath, is a common symptom that can be caused by many cardiac and pulmonary conditions. A thorough diagnostic evaluation of dyspnea involves taking a detailed patient history, conducting a physical exam, and obtaining initial tests like an electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, and blood tests to evaluate for conditions involving the heart, lungs, blood, and other potential causes and to guide further testing if needed. Grading scales are used to characterize the severity of a patient's dyspnea. The pathophysiology of dyspnea involves an imbalance between the perceived need to breathe and the ability to breathe.

Pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity
between the lining of the lungs and the thoracic cavity (i.e., the visceral
and parietal pleurae
).
Pyelonephritis, ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS, CHRONIC PYELONEPHRITIS,
Pyelonephritis
It is the inflammation of the kidney & upper urinary tract that usually results from the bacterial infection of the bladder.
Pyelonephritis can be classified in several different catagories:
-acute pyelonephritis
-chronic pyelonephritis
-xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
Corpulmonale
Cor pulmonale is a condition where the right ventricle of the heart enlarges and fails due to high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, usually caused by long-term lung diseases that reduce oxygen levels. It most commonly results from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Symptoms include shortness of breath, swelling, and chest pain. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging, blood tests, and right heart catheterization. Treatment focuses on improving oxygen levels, reducing pulmonary pressures, and managing the underlying lung condition.
Pulmonary edema
This document provides an overview of pulmonary edema, including its definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, classifications, causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. Pulmonary edema is fluid accumulation in the lungs caused by increased fluid filtration from pulmonary capillaries into lung tissue. It can be cardiogenic, caused by left ventricular failure which increases hydrostatic pressure, or non-cardiogenic, caused by altered capillary permeability independent of cardiac issues. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and hypoxemia. Treatment focuses on supporting oxygenation, reducing preload and afterload on the heart, and addressing any underlying conditions.
Pyelonephritis
This document defines pyelonephritis as inflammation of the kidney parenchyma and renal pelvis lining. It discusses the epidemiology and risk factors, including those related to host factors like sex, obstruction, and genetics. The etiology is typically gram-negative bacteria like E. coli ascending from the urethra. Clinical features range from mild fever to severe fever and flank pain. Diagnosis involves urine testing and culture. Treatment depends on severity and involves antibiotics like fluoroquinolones for 7-14 days.
Empyema
This document discusses empyema, which is an accumulation of thick, purulent fluid in the pleural space caused by bacterial pneumonia, lung abscess, chest trauma, or surgery. Common organisms include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Empyema develops from a parapneumonic effusion through exudative, fibrino-purulent, and organizing stages. Symptoms include fever, chest pain, and dyspnea. Diagnosis involves imaging and culture of pleural fluid. Treatment requires drainage of fluid, antibiotics for 10-14 days intravenously or longer orally, and oxygen. Nursing diagnoses relate to impaired gas exchange, acute pain, and risk for activity intolerance.

Pleural effusions can be transudative or exudative based on their etiology. Symptoms include dyspnea and pleuritic pain. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, thoracentesis to analyze fluid characteristics, and sometimes biopsy. Treatment depends on the cause, with transudative effusions typically requiring treatment of the underlying condition and exudative effusions sometimes needing drainage or pleurodesis. Pneumothorax is also discussed as the accumulation of air in the pleural space
Acute kidney injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition characterized by a sudden decline in kidney function. It affects 5-7% of hospital admissions and 30% of intensive care unit admissions. The top causes of AKI in India are diarrheal diseases, sepsis, malaria, drug toxicity, and hospital-acquired injuries. Treatment focuses on optimizing fluid status and hemodynamics, removing nephrotoxins if possible, and initiating renal replacement therapy as needed based on the underlying cause and severity of AKI.
Pneumothorax
This document discusses pneumothorax, beginning with a definition and overview of types including spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax. Risk factors are identified such as male sex, smoking, age, genetics, and lung disease. Diagnosis involves physical exam findings and imaging tests like chest x-ray and CT scan. Treatment goals are promoting lung expansion and eliminating causes, using methods such as aspiration, tube drainage, or surgery. Complications are also reviewed.
Chronic renal failure
CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE (CRF) or CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)
Chronic or irreversible renal failure is a progressive reduction of functioning of renal tissue such that the remaining kidney mass can no longer maintain the body’s internal environment.
Pleural effusion
This document discusses pleural effusions, which are collections of fluid in the pleural space. Pleural effusions are usually secondary to other diseases rather than primary. There are two main types - transudative effusions which occur without inflammation from conditions like heart failure, and exudative effusions which occur with inflammation from things like infections or cancer. Diagnosis involves chest imaging and analyzing fluid obtained via thoracentesis. Treatment focuses on resolving the underlying cause as well as draining fluid to relieve symptoms. Nursing care centers around maintaining normal breathing patterns and monitoring for complications.

Pleural effusions occur when an abnormal amount of fluid collects in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. They are usually caused by underlying conditions that interfere with fluid drainage from the pleural space. Pleural effusions are classified as transudative or exudative based on the fluid characteristics. Transudative effusions are low in protein and cells and are usually caused by conditions that increase hydrostatic pressure or decrease oncotic pressure like heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. Exudative effusions are high in protein and occur due to inflammation from infections, cancers, or other diseases that increase capillary permeability. Diagnostic evaluation involves chest imaging and thoracentesis to analyze pleural fluid. Treatment

1) A pleural effusion is an abnormal collection of fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. It can impair breathing by limiting lung expansion.
2) Pleural effusions are usually caused by other underlying conditions and can be transudative or exudative depending on the fluid characteristics. Common causes include infections, heart failure, and cancer.
3) Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging tests, and thoracentesis to analyze pleural fluid. Management depends on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, diuretics, chest tube drainage, surgery, or pleurodesis to prevent further fluid buildup.
LCP Pleural Effusion Group Report March 12 2014
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
Pleural effusion
Pleural effusion occurs when fluid accumulates in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall due to an imbalance of fluid filtration and reabsorption. It can be caused by conditions that increase hydrostatic pressure or permeability of pulmonary capillaries such as heart failure, or conditions involving the pleura like infections, malignancies, and trauma. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, CT, or ultrasound imaging to detect fluid levels, with thoracentesis of opaque or symptomatic effusions to analyze appearance, cell count, chemistries and cytology to determine if the effusion is an exudate or transudate and guide treatment of the underlying condition.
hydrothorax presentation.pptx
This document discusses pleural effusions, including their causes, characteristics, diagnosis and evaluation. Key points:
- Pleural effusions can be transudative or exudative based on their mechanism of formation and fluid chemistry. Common causes include heart failure, pneumonia, malignancy and pulmonary embolism.
- Diagnosis involves chest imaging, diagnostic thoracentesis and fluid analysis to determine if the fluid is an exudate or transudate based on pleural fluid to serum ratios of protein and LDH. Additional fluid tests provide clues to specific causes.
- Pleural fluid characteristics like glucose, pH and cell differentials provide diagnostic information and indicate need for drainage in some cases like parapneumonic effusions
Surgery 5th year, 2nd lecture (Dr. Ahmed Al-Azzawi)
The document discusses various diseases of the pleura and pleural space, including pleural effusions, empyema, chylothorax, mesothelioma, and spontaneous pneumothorax. It describes the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for these conditions, which include the accumulation of fluid, pus, lymph, or air in the pleural cavity due to issues like cancer, infection, trauma, or unknown primary causes. The treatments involve drainage of fluid or material from the pleural space through chest tubes or surgery, along with antibiotics or other medications as needed depending on the specific condition.
Diseases of the pleura
This document provides an overview of diseases of the pleura, including pleurisy, pleural effusion, empyema, pneumothorax, and mesothelioma. It discusses the anatomy and physiology of the pleura, causes and characteristics of pleural diseases, and how they are investigated and managed. Key points include that pleurisy is inflammation of the pleura causing chest pain, pleural effusion is abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural space, and the fluid can be transudative or exudative depending on the underlying cause such as heart failure or infection/malignancy respectively.

Plural effusion_092054.pptx
Pleural effusion occurs when an abnormal amount of fluid collects in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. There are two main types - transudative effusions which occur without inflammation from conditions like heart failure, and exudative effusions which occur with inflammation from things like infection or cancer. The fluid is evaluated through tests on a sample obtained by thoracentesis to determine the underlying cause. Treatment focuses on addressing the cause, relieving symptoms by draining fluid, and preventing reaccumulation through procedures like pleurodesis. Nursing care involves monitoring for breathing difficulties, providing oxygen, assisting with drainage procedures, and managing pain.
PLEURAL EFFUSION lec.pptx
Pleural effusions occur when there is an excess amount of fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. Normally this space contains a small amount of fluid that is produced and reabsorbed continuously. Pleural effusions can be either transudative or exudative depending on the fluid characteristics and are usually caused by other underlying conditions that interfere with fluid balance. Common causes include heart failure, liver disease, and pneumonia. Diagnosis involves analyzing the pleural fluid for properties such as pH, glucose level, and cell count to classify it as transudate or exudate and determine the likely cause.
Pleural effusion
Pleural effusion is an abnormal collection of fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. It can occur when fluid builds up faster than it drains away and common causes include congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and cancer. Diagnosis involves chest x-rays, CT scans, or analyzing fluid drawn from the pleural space during a thoracentesis procedure. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include diuretics, antibiotics, drainage of fluid, or surgery in severe cases.
Pleuresy
The document discusses pleurisy and pleural effusions. It defines the pleura and pleural space, and describes different types of pleural syndromes including dry pleurisy, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and fibrothorax. Common causes, symptoms, signs, and investigation findings for pleural effusions are outlined. Pleural fluid analysis is described to differentiate exudates from transudates. Differentials are provided for lymphocytic and eosinophilic pleural effusions.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

pleural effusion.pptx
- 2. Introduction Pleural effusion, a collection of fluid in the pleural space, is rarely a primary disease process but is usually secondary to other diseases The pleural space normally contains only about 10-20 ml of serous fluid
- 3. Pleural fluid normally seeps continually into the pleural space from the capillaries lining the parietal pleura and is reabsorbed by the visceral pleural capillaries and lymphatic system Any condition that interferes with either secretion or drainage of this fluid leads to pleural effusion
- 4. Definition Pleural effusion is a collection of abnormal amount of fluid in the pleural space
- 7. Transudative effusions Transudative effusions also known as hydrothoraxes , occur primarily in noninflammatory conditions; is an accumulation of low-protein, low cell count fluid
- 8. Cause of transudative effusion Increase hydrostatic pressure found in heart failure ( most common cause of pleural effusion) Decrease oncotic pressure ( From hypoalbuminemia) found in cirrhosis of liver or renal disease.
- 9. Characteristics of Transudative effusion Occurs primarily in non-inflammatory conditions. low protein, low-cell-count fluid. Clear to faint yellow tinge, no odour pH 7.40 7.55 Specific gravity < 1.015 Protein content < 3g/100ml Glucose level equal serum plasma
- 10. Exudative effusions Exudative effusions occur in an area of inflammation; is an accumulation of high-protein fluid. An exudative effusion results from increased capillary permeability characteristic of inflammatory reaction. This types of effusion occurs secondary to conditions such as pulmonary malignancies, pulmonary infections and pulmonary embolization.
- 11. Aetiology Disseminated cancer (particularly lung and breast) Pleuro-pulmonary infections (pneumonia). Heart failure, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome Peritoneal dialysis
- 12. Characteristics of Exudative effusion Often turbid, bloody or purulent pH < 7.30 Specific gravity > 1.016 Protein content > 3g/100ml Glucose level < 60mg/dl. High-protein fluid
- 13. Types of fluids There are mainly Four types of fluids can accumulate in the pleural space: Serous fluid Blood Pus Chyle
- 14. 1. Serous fluid (hydrothorax) : A hydrothorax is a condition that results from serous fluid accumulating in the pleural cavity. 2.Blood (haemothorax): is a condition that results from blood accumulating in the pleural cavity. 3. Pus (pyothorax or empyema) : is an accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity. 4. Chyle (chylothorax): chyle is a milky bodily fluid consisting of lymph and emulsified fats, or free fatty acids (FFAs) and it is formed in the small intestine during digestion of fatty foods .It is a type of pleural effusion . it results from lymphatic fluid (chyle) accumulating in the pleural cavity.
- 15. Clinical Manifestations Pleuritic chest pain Dyspnea Nonproductive cough. The chest pain is usually sharp and is exacerbated by movement of the pleural surfaces, as with deep inspiration, coughing, and sneezing.
- 16. Diagnostic Evaluation History collection (A history of pneumonia, chest tumor cardiac, renal, or liver impairment and cancer related treatment) Physical examination (decreased or absent breath sounds, decreased fremitus, and a dull, flat sound when percussed) Chest X-ray or ultrasound detects presence of fluid. Thoracentesis
- 17. Management The objectives of treatment are to discover the underlying cause, to prevent re-accumulation of fluid, and to relieve discomfort, dyspnoea, and respiratory compromise General Treatment is aimed at underlying cause (heart disease, infection). Thoracentesis is done to remove fluid, collect a specimen, and relieve dyspnoea
- 19. Malignant Effusions Chest tube drainage Radiation Chemotherapy Surgical pleurectomy Pleuroperitoneal shunt, or pleurodesis
- 22. Nursing Assessment Obtain history of previous pulmonary condition Assess patient for dyspnoea and tachypnoea Auscultate and percuss lungs for abnormalities
- 23. Nursing Management Institute treatments to resolve the underlying cause as ordered. Assist with thoracentesis if indicated Maintain chest drainage as needed Provide care after pleurodesis.
- 24. Monitor for excessive pain from the sclerosing agent, which may cause hypoventilation. Administer prescribed analgesic. Assist patient undergoing instillation of intrapleural lidocaine if pain relief is not forthcoming. Administer oxygen as indicated by dyspnoea and hypoxemia. Observe patient's breathing pattern, oxygen saturation
