Respiratory Therapist - What's the diagnosis?

[sasthDr]

All symptoms and signs give clinical features of Rt. lower lobe pneumonia. The tracheal shift to the same site will indicate significant atelectasis.

Right Lower Lobe Pneumonia with consolidation/atelectasis via the tracheal shift to the right

[johnsonparker]

Not an RT yet just finished EMT school. I went with pneumonia based off symptoms 🤷🏻‍♂️

[aespinal]

Pneumonia, tracheal shift towards the bad lung indicates internal lung problem.

[sarahsmith]

Pop quiz time is great! Can you do this regularly??

[erlines]

I was thinking atelectesis due to the tracheal shift on the affected side, but am wrong. Fever, thick yellow sputum are sign of a bacterial pneumonia.

[amadickson]

Pneumothora with onset of pneumonia right side .
Tachpnea, tachycardia and Hyperresonnant = pneumothorax
Increase fremitus and fever indication infection

[ronnievillasenor]

Atelectasis, and consolidation of right lower lobe

[adilbakhsh]

PNE would cause fluid causing atelactasis on the affected side atelactasis causes the shift towards the same side

[markw]

Loss of volume in the RLL due to consolidation secondary to pneumonia. The consolidation is evident by the bronchial breath sounds in the RLL and tracheal shift toward the affected lung.

Pneumonia. I didn’t know the answer until you said increase fremitus and a hypo resonant note with sputum. Curious on how much tachypnea and tachycardia played into this diagnosis? How do they play into diagnosing a patient? Awesome video though!

Pneumonia in the upper and middle lobe of the right lung 🌹❤️

[michaelziegler]

It sounds suspiciously like what I had when I was a toddler. Thankfully most cases like this don't require trachs anymore. Good to see you working hard Joe!

[robertcastaneda]

I am looking to get into rt school, I am guessing flu, or respretory infection or pneumonia.

[rafaelaguilera]

Hey Joe, nice to see you again. Raf here from LAVC Resp program. Bagged my first job at a county hospital. So far so good, I am loving it. Hope you’re well, answers got to be Pneumonia.

RLL Pneumonia with consolidation and atelectasis

[huyproluvthanh]

Unilateral lung disease as trach shifted. Sputum fever tachypnic indicates infection. Breath sound auscultation percussion indicate location of infected lung. R LOWER lobe lung infection

[drvincentip]

Right lower lobe collapse. Maybe due to sputum plug or endobronchial lesion.

[lilyfuentes]

R lower lobe pneumonia, with atelectasis?

[BoColo]

RLL PNA w/RL Ax due to R side tracheal shift
