Question 1

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 2

female 33, obese. xray impression: no active cardiopulmonary disease and no interval change. findings: heart size is within normal limits for level of inspiration pulmonary vascular congestion. do i have pulmonary vascular congestion?

Accepted Answer

: PLease go back to your doctor and ask them to explain exactly what their findings are.  The word doctor means teacher. We are supposed to explain to our patients what our finding are so that they can acquiesce to our treatment recommendations.

Question 3

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 4

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.

Question 5

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 6

which of the following is a sign that a man is about to suffer cardiopulmonary arrest?

Accepted Answer

None of the above: This reads like an exam question. There is no predicting sudden death ("cardiopulmonary arrest" if you prefer), even if a person is having severe crushing chest pain, has an obvious pulmonary thrombuembolus ("that knot in my leg just vanished -- gasp"), has ventricular tachycardia on an ekg -- there's simply no predicting. Cherish life while it lasts.

Question 7

what is cardiopulmonary resuscitation?

Accepted Answer

CPR: First responder assessment and breathing and circulation treatment for person in trouble, conscious or unconsious.

Question 8

what requires cardiopulmonary resuscitation ?

Accepted Answer

Arrest: CPR is initiated basically when the heart stops working and or the patient stops breathing. It's a bit of an oversimplification but that's the premise.

Question 9

what's the defintion cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr)?

Accepted Answer

CPR: CPR means cardiopulomnary resuscitation. When an individual suffers a cardiac arrest, blood circulation stops and organs suffer and the individual can die. By instituting CPR as quickly as possible a life can be saved. Simply put, it is an emergency procedure where by performing external compression of the chest over the heart, blood flow is temporarily restored to vital organs.

Question 10

how does cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) work?

Accepted Answer

CPR HOW IT WORKS: The main principal of CPR to to keep a persons vital organs to be oxygenated.This is not possible unless heart is pumping blood and lungs are able to get oxygen in the body.Hence the word cardio(heart)pulmonary(lung)resusccitation.So you pump the heart to push blood in vital organs and breathe through artificail means to oxygenate the blood.
