1

What is cystic fibrosis

Hereditary disease caused by defective gene of chromosome 7 - secretion fo excessive viscous mucous by exocrine glands - thick mucus secreted by trachea and bronchi block airways (can lead to atelectasis)

New cards
2

What are significant signs and symptoms of Cystic fibrosis

poor growth or weight gain, greasy bulky stools. children sweat excessively, newborn obstruction

New cards
3

What is the radiographic appearance of cystic fibrosis

irregular thickening of lung markings - hyperinflation (large lung) - reticular pattern

New cards
4
<p>What is this</p>

What is this

Cystic Fibrosis

New cards
5

What is hyaline Membrane Disease (IRDS)

occurs in infants who are premature, have a diabetic mother, or are born c-section - evident within 6 hours after delivery - lack of surfactant and immature lungs

New cards
6

What is a main sign and symptom of hyaline membrane disease

cyanosis - grunting sounds when breathing

New cards
7

What is the radiographic appearance of hyaline membrane disease

under aeration - finely granular appearance of pulmonary parenchyma - air bronchogram required

New cards
8
<p>What is this</p>

What is this

Hyaline Membrane Disease

New cards
9

What are the 4 abnormalities of Tetralogy of Fallot

High ventricular septal defect - pulmonary stenosis - overriding of aortic orifice above ventricular defect - right ventricular hypertrophy

New cards
10

What are the main signs and symptoms of tetralogy of fallot

blueish colour skin, lack of alertness

New cards
11

What is the radiographic appearance of tetralogy of fallot

enlargement of right ventricle causing upward and lateral displacement of the apex of the heart - wooden shoe

New cards
12
<p>What is this</p>

What is this

tetralogy of fallot

New cards
13

What are septal defects? What are the 3 kinds?

left-to-right shunt most common - Atrial Septal, Ventricular Septal, and Patent Ductus Arteriosus

New cards
14

What is Atrial Septal

communication between the atria as result of patent foramen ovule - increased pulmonary blood flow and overloading of RV

New cards
15

What is ventricular septal

communication between the ventricles. Causes increased pulmonary venous return which overloads LA & LV

New cards
16

What is Patent Ductus Arteriosus

 shunts blood from pulmonary artery into systemic circulation during uterine life. Closes after birth normally. Blood from higher pressure aorta goes to pulmonary artery and overloads LA & LV

New cards
17

What are the signs and symptoms of septal defects

frequent respiratory infections, difficulty breathing, tiring when feeding, SOB, Skipped heartbeat

New cards
18

What is the radiographic appearance of Atrial septal defects

Because the left atrial pressure is higher that the RA, the blood shunts L to R causing enlargement RV, RA, pulmonary outflow tract - cardiomegaly and enlarged pulmonary outflow tract

New cards
19

WHat is the radiographic appearance of ventricular septal defect

Left ventricular pressure is higher that the pressure in the right ventricle > L to R shunt > ^pulmonary flow > ^ pulmonary venous return> overloading and enlargement of LA and LV - any blood directed to the RV immediately goes to the pulmonary artery therefore no overloading of RV so no enlargement on CXR - heart and pulmonary trunk enlarged

New cards
20
<p>What is this</p>

What is this

Atrial Septal Defect

New cards
21
<p>What is this</p>

What is this

Ventricular septal defect

New cards
22

What is dextrocardia

heart is on the right

New cards
23
<p>What is this?</p>

What is this?

Dextrocardia
