Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction01:29

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

35
Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

2.9K
The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Pulmonary Ventilation: Inhalation01:24

Pulmonary Ventilation: Inhalation

4.5K
Pulmonary ventilation is a vital process that ensures the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. It refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs, enabling the body to obtain oxygen and remove waste carbon dioxide. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of pulmonary ventilation, including its underlying principles, mechanisms, and the interplay of pressures within the respiratory system.
Boyle's law becomes particularly pertinent when examining respiratory...

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs

2.5K
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...

Pneumothorax-I01:26

Pneumothorax-I

303
A pneumothorax is a condition where air builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This condition arises when air enters the space between the parietal and visceral pleura, disrupting the negative pressure essential for lung inflation. This can lead to a partial or complete collapse of the lung.
Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II01:28

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

308
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Congenital lung malformations, such as lung sequestration, are rare and typically diagnosed in childhood.
  • While often presenting with recurrent infections, severe hemoptysis is an uncommon but serious manifestation.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old female presented with a year of episodic and progressive hemoptysis.
  • CT angiography revealed an anomalous artery from the descending thoracic aorta supplying the left lower lobe, which showed hyperperfusion.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful surgical treatment involving ligation of the aberrant vessel and left lower lobe lobectomy.
  • This intervention resolved the severe hemoptysis associated with the congenital pulmonary malformation.

Implications:

  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis using CT or MR angiography is crucial for identifying aberrant blood supply in lung sequestration.
  • Surgical ligation of the feeding vessel combined with lung resection is the recommended treatment for symptomatic lung sequestration presenting with hemoptysis.
