focel infiltate
hyperaerated
Lower lobe consolidation of the lung refers to a condition where the air spaces in the lower part of the lung fill up with fluid, pus, blood, or other substances. This can be caused by infections such as pneumonia or aspiration of foreign material. It can present with symptoms like cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care to help clear the consolidation.
Lung fields will appear white
The term air bronchogram is used to describe a condition in which the bronchi stand out prominently due to increased contrast brought about by changes in the surrounding lung tissue. The change can be due to pneumonic consolidation, collapse of a part of the lung, or inflammatory edema in the lung tissue. It is not specific to any disease.
Lung compliance = Lung expandability
"Nil focal" on a chest X-ray indicates that there are no localized abnormalities or lesions detected in the lung fields or surrounding structures. Essentially, it suggests that the examination did not reveal any focal opacities, masses, or other concerning findings. This is generally a positive result, indicating a normal appearance of the chest.
The right lung has three lobes.
She was exposed to toxins from the fields she was forced to work in......... I think.
to accommodate the heart
Increased fremitus over areas of consolidation occurs because the consolidated lung tissue becomes denser and conducts vibrations better than healthy lung tissue. This increases the transmission of vibrations from the bronchi to the chest wall, leading to increased tactile fremitus felt during palpation.
The left lung is smaller than the right.
