    Study Notes

    Difficult Outcomes of Pulmonary Edema and Infarct

    • Pulmonary edema, pericardial effusion, and brain involvement can lead to challenging outcomes.
    • Edema may be associated with ischemia and, in severe cases, necrosis.
    • Infarct refers to a localized area of necrosis within tissue.
    • Myocardial and pulmonary infarcts are the most common.
    • Common causes include volvulus, hernia, and trapped viscera under peritoneal adhesion.
    • Complications of infarcts can lead to gangrene.
    • Elderly individuals with atherosclerosis or impaired cardiac function are at risk.
    • Trigger events can include surgical procedures or delivery.
    • Central venous catheter placement measures central venous pressure and serves as a portal for fluid infusion.
    • Potential risks of placement include arrhythmias, perforation, pneumothorax, and air embolism.
    • PICC is a type of venous access device designed for long-term use, often for chemotherapy.
    • Swan-Ganz catheters monitor heart function and blood flow, and can be used to direct medications into the heart.

    Cardiac Pacemaker and Pathophysiology

    • Cardiac pacemakers maintain cardiac rhythm using an electrode placed in the right ventricle apex or coronary sinus.
    • Electrode fracture can lead to pace failure, compromising the effectiveness of the cardiac pacing system.
    • Thrombo-embolic fragments can lodge in the main pulmonary artery, leading to decreased cardiac output and potentially death.
    • Pulmonary embolism can result in pulmonary infarction and respiratory distress.
    • Bronchogenic carcinoma is primary lung cancer that originates from the mucosa of the bronchial tree.
    • The most significant risk factor for developing bronchogenic carcinoma is smoking.
    • Metastasis can occur via blood and lymphatics to sites including bones, liver, brain, adrenals, and kidneys.
    • The lungs are a common site for metastasis from primary neoplasms in various organs, including the breast, esophagus, and stomach.
    • Approximately one-third of patients with cancer develop pulmonary metastases.
    • Pulmonary metastases can occur from primary neoplasms in various organ systems and can spread through blood and lymphatics.
    • The patterns of metastases on chest imaging vary according to the primary site of the cancer.
