Question 2

cxray shows acute cardiopulmonary disease....should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

I  think it's a typo: I haven't seen a reading like this .typically a normal x-ray is read as no acute cardiopulmonary disease... I am guessing the no is missing.....

Question 3

drs during cardiopulmonary resuscitation would i have to locate xyphoid process?

Accepted Answer

Feel for it: It is the lower tip of the sternum.

Question 4

during cardiopulmonary resuscitation why would a nurse have to locate xyphoid process?

Accepted Answer

Landmark: By locationg the zyphoid process, compressions can be done in a most effecient way, esp avoiding the stomach area.

Question 5

are  active and  acute used interchangeably on an ex-ray. ive had  no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. and no  active pulmonary disease. does this mean the same thing?

Accepted Answer

: In that context, yes, they both mean that there is nothing on the x-ray that would require treatment at this time. Acute means short-term problems as opposed to chronic, long-term issues. Active means something needing treatment. But, in the context you are quoting, they would both mean the same thing-there is nothing right now that requires treatment. Good luck!

Question 6

my lung xray showed " a slightly dominant nodular debsity in the lower left lobe. close study reccomended in a few weeks..then it stated " no acute cardiopulmonary disease noted" . what is that?

Accepted Answer

Suspicious area: I would suggest BOTH a repeat chest xray and a CT scan of your lungs.

Question 7

why did my radiologist write this? findings: the lungs and pleural spaces are clear. the cardiac silhouette is normal. the regional osseous structures are normal. impression: no active cardiopulmonary process?

Accepted Answer

: Your radiologist has examined your images and has determined that everything appears normal with no active disease. You can discuss this further with your physician who ordered the study.

Question 8

er x-ray. no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality.the cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal in size and configuration.no focal airspace opacification, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. the osseous structures and soft tissues are unremarkable.normal?

Accepted Answer

: Radiologists get fussed at by the doctors that order x-rays when they just say "normal". This wording means the x-ray is normal.

Question 9

27 yo female having chest pains shortness of breath. all blood work normal ekg normal, chest x-ray state no evidence of cardiopulmonary disease. no soft tissue or acute osseous abnormality. cardiomediastinal silhouette in normal limits. anxiety??

Accepted Answer

: There are many other medical conditions to be ruled out, including asthma, arrhythmias or musculoskeletal conditions, for example. Anxiety can always accompany or be at the root of such symptoms otherwise. The work up done is typically used to rule out life threatening conditions, specific work up may still be needed based on clinical suspicion.

Question 10

what does it mean to have a cardiopulmonary reserve?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac reserve: Let's make an analogy to 'army reserve'. These army men are just standby without active duty. But when there is a war, these people will be involved. Similarly, you don't use cardiopulmonary reserve during normal activities. During stress or illness, you want your lungs to take as much air/oxygen as possible and increase heart rate to maintain adequate blood flow (cardiac output) to tissues.
