The common signs and symptoms of pneumonia are gonna be a cough, which may be dry, productive with a thick yellow green brown or a potentially blood stained mucus or or phlegm. The common treatment is going to be antibiotic for a bacterial infection.
09:49
The mortality and more mobility of the geriatric population with pneumonia, we have a greater risk of further harm or or additional pathologies being associated with it. General hygiene is highlighted with this and the other pathologies we're going to talk about.
14:30
It can be a post surgery, post trauma, or a result of severe infection or of inflammation due to infection or injury. It may be hematoma in the legs from quad contusion and a piece of that breaks off and shoots straight up the vascular system to the lungs.
19:17
Pulmonary embolism is one of three types of pneumothoraxes. There are three broad categories when we're talking about pneumoth oraxes, traumatic, spontaneous and tension.
25:03
The treatment for this is a needle decompression or aspiration. If we can't do that or we don't have the equipment to do that, or we haven't been trained at minimum putting them on supplemental oxygen to try and compensate for the lung that's not functioning normally is recommended. Hyperventilation is just over breathing, but it's where it involves rapid or deep breaths.
30:33
Hyperventilation can be caused by anxiety disorders, panic attacks, asthma, general stress, excessive stress, worry, a really hard or assertive exercise or activity, people with other comorbidities or other lung diseases side effects from certain drugs, high altitude training or transition, post head injury or concussion and shock.
35:55
Those anxieties, those stresses, if we don't manage those, it's gonna continue to have these these episodes of hyperventilation. So it's just a vicious cycle and we need to help the patient or the individual find a way to remove those triggers or those stressors.
40:50
So going through our bay basically, our basic evaluation history signs symptoms, and then our physical exam, again assessing our vitals. Now once we do end up making a referral for this, 1 to be reassessed by a medical provider, 2, to potentially do diagnostics.
45:20
Chris: It's not a bad idea to develop policies and procedures for your health care team at your individual settings. It could be on the field during competition. It doesn't have to be an athlete trainer.
50:56
Chris: Where do you start in the assessment to try to distinguish any of these are legit? Issues that need quick activation. I'm a large proponent of a thorough medical history, and understanding what's going on in their life.
54:56
Don't second guess yourself. It's always better to get them to the advanced care than it is to delay the care. Trust your gut, trust your your clinical expertise and win in doubt, refer out.
