Transcription

1 Objectives CAPA 2011 Christy Wilson, PA C Georgia Lung Associates Identify the radiographic landmarks on a chest radiograph Recognize identifiers of poor quality on the chest radiograph Outline an approach to interpretation of frontal or lateral chest radiographs Recognize common identifiable infections including pneumonia, fungi and tuberculosis Recognize the spectrum of common cardiovascular disease processes Recognize patterns of primary or metastatic carcinoma of the lung Recognize normal and abnormal placement of chest tubes and lines CXR Workshop This workshop will provide a guided review of the anatomy of the thorax and demonstrate the radiographic image correlating to that anatomy. A sequential approach to chest radiographs will be demonstrated and practiced at the view box. Disease processes affecting the heart and lungs will be discussed, using visual correlations on radiographs. This didactic portion will be followed by hands on practice at view boxes, with the actual films, demonstrating a wide range of pathology and some normal films for comparison. What is a Chest X Ray? Definition (diagnostic tool/internal PE) Types Portable PA and Lat Decubitus Cost 1

2 Indications for Chest X rays Screening Tool Pulmonary complaints Pre op Clearance Trauma Line Placement Ten Rules for Reading a Chest X ray 1. The only way to learn to read CXRs is to read CXRs. Daily! 2. Always check the name and date on the film. 5% of the time it is wrong. 3. When confronted with an abnormal CXR, always compare with prior films. 4. Don t ignore the lateral film. It can often clarify the presence or absence of lower lobe dz. 10 Rules con t 5. Don t confuse technique with change on a CXR. 6. Consider everything on a CXR that might be useful, ie. FB, ET tubes, etc. 7. The presence of clear lung fields and normal heart size rules out CHF as a cause of patient s sx. 10 Rules con t 8. Lung fields can never be called clear on a PCXR until one has identified the left hemi diaphragm and lack of infiltrate behind the heart. 9. The Chest X ray never lies! 10. Ask for help, it is always available! ***The obvious is not always the most important finding! 2

3 Anatomy of the Lungs 3

4 Find these locations! Cardiac notch Lingula of Left Lung Oblique Fissure Anterior Border How to read a CXR? Step 1: Placement of CXR Verify the XR Name Date Position markers Type of CXR Patient History ex: surgical hx Step 1: Is it a Good CXR? A Good Chest X ray???? Film Quality Over vs.. under penetration Patient Placement rotation Body Habitus Maximize inspiration Nipple markers Adequate Inspiration 4

5 Normal Chest X ray ABC s of Reading a CXR A = Appliances and Airway B = Bones C = Circulation / Cardiac D = Diaphragm E = Everything Else Step 2: Airway and Appliances Airway Mediastinum Tracheal positioning Aortic calcifications Foreign Body Lines, cardiac monitor, ET tube, Chest tubes, prosthesis, FBs etc. Central Line Placement Appliances /Placement 5

6 Central Line Placement Central Line Placement Chest Tube Placement Step 3: Bones Examine the bones Count the ribs Clavicle alignment Spine alignment Alignment of Clavicles Lateral View vertebrae 6

7 Bones Look at the ribs Left Sided Chest Pain 7

8 Step 4: Circulation/Cardiac Cardiomegaly Pulmonary Edema Dextrocardia Pericardial effusion Pulmonary Edema Dextrocardia 8

9 Pericardial Effusion Step 5 = Diaphragm Diaphragm Compare elevation, gas patterns, hiatal hernia Pneumoperitoneum Elevated Right Hemidiaphragm 9

10 Step 6 = Everything Else Everything Else Soft Tissue Breast tissue Lung Parenchyma Description of Infiltrates ***Always compare to previous CXRs Pulmonary vasculature Pulmonary edema Costophrenic angles Pleural effusions Inflation Count the ribs emphysema Masses/nodule Consolidation Parenchyma Compare lung fields to each other Reading a Chest X ray Lines Bones Soft Tissue Trachea Air Mediastinum Aorta AP window Heart Diaphragm Hilum Lungs Describing a Chest X ray Unilateral vs. Bilateral Focal vs. Diffuse Location Peripheral vs. Central Interstitial vs. Alveolar Infiltrates 10

11 Lung Nodules What to do? 11

12 What is this? Loculated Effusion 12

13 Pneumoperitoneum Honeycombing Miliary TB What do you see? 13

14 The Lobes of the Lungs Left Lower Lobe Lt. Diaphragm border lost with LLL infiltrate/consolidation Left Upper Lobe Lt. Heart border is lost with a LUL infiltrate/consolidation Lingular portion Lt. Heart border lost but apex is clear Right Lower Lobe Rt. Diaphragm border lost Right Middle Lobe Rt. Heart border lost but able to see rt. Costophrenic angle Right Upper Lobe Rt. Apex shows consolidation Lateral View of CXR Lateral View of CXR Lateral Films 1.Rib 2.Sternum 3.Breast 4.Position of oblique fissure 5.Position of horizontal fissure 14

15 Pneumonia When to admit to the hospital and when to treat as an outpatient????? CURB 65 The CURB 65 score is based upon five easily measurable factors Confusion (based upon a specific mental test or new disorientation to person, place, or time) Urea (blood urea nitrogen in the United States) >7 mmol/l (20 mg/dl) Respiratory rate >30 breaths/minute Blood pressure [BP] (systolic <90 mmhg or diastolic <60 mmhg) Age >65 years Score of 2 or more: recommend admitting to the hospital PSI Pneumonia Severity Index 15
