Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Tyler, a 19-year-old, has been shot in the chest wall and has developed pneumothorax and atelectasis. The precise meaning of terminologies “pneumothorax and atelectasis” and the respiratory distress suffered by Mr. T along with its subsequent treatment.
Introduction:
Pneumothorax refers to a condition in which air accumulates in the intrapleural space. Atelectasis, on the other hand, is the phenomenon of lung collapse when air enters into the pleural space. These two conditions are reversed by drawing air out of the intrapleural space.

Alan has been smoking for the past 20 years and has been experiencing some shortness of breath and a cough. His physician, Dr. Anthony, sees him. The physician orders a lung capacity test and a chest X-ray. Is there any surgical procedure for emphysema?
A person was rushed into an emergency room after receiving a knife wound in the left side of his thorax. The diagnosis was pneumothorax and a collapsed lung. Why did the lung collapse, and why only one lung (not both) collapsed.
How can a collapsed lung be re-expanded in a patient with a pneumothorax?

- Why must a patient have a chest tube placed to CONTINUOUS suction if he/she suffers a pneumothorax? Discuss why just taking a deep breathe can enlarge a pnemothorax, i.e. what are the pressure changes taking place with inspiration. Also, how does lung compliance and elasticity play a role in "mending" a pneuothorax or hinder the "mending" of it.arrow_forwardDon Paladio had been a pharmacist in New York City. He retired to Florida and spent the better part of everyday swimming in the Gulf. He was healthy and strong. Gradually, however, his years of smoking began to compromise his lung's capacity. Soon, he could not swim at all. He enjoyed the beach from under his umbrella. Eventually, the trips to the beach were not possible. The diagnosis was pulmonary emphysema and COPD. Oxygen was needed, and his activities were diminished to cooking dinner for his wife and himself. Don was embarrassed about the oxygen tank and would no longer go out in public. He died when he was 85. 1.Discuss the impact of both diseases in Don's life 2.What, if anything, could have been done to make his suffering less difficult? 3.Identify characteristics of such long-term chronic illnesses that are particularly difficult. ***INCLUDE CITATIONS IN MLA 9TH EDITION PERDUE OWL***arrow_forwardMr. Wallace, a 65-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is experiencing a COPD exacerbation.

On clear days, the views are spectacular. From her cubicle, Sylvia’s eye catches the edge of the beautiful blue-and-white skyscraper as she reaches for her inhaler. This is the third attack since she returned from lunch 4 hours ago—her asthma is really bad today. But if she leaves work early again, her boss will write her up for it. Sylvia concentrates on breathing normally. Her roommate, Kelly, is a respiratory therapist at the county hospital. Kelly says Sylvia’s asthma attacks are probably triggered by the city’s high level of air pollution. That can’t be true. They both run in the park every morning before work, and Sylvia rarely needs to use her inhaler. The problems start when she gets to work.
