A.Schematic of the surface epithelium andsupporting glandular
structure of the human airway.
B.The submucosal glands of a patient with CF are filled with
mucus, and mucopurulent debris overlies the airway surfaces,
essentially burying the epithelium.
C.A higher magnification view of a mucus plug tightly adhering
to the airway surface, with arrows indicating the interface
between infected and inflamed secretions and the underlying
epithelium to which the secretions adhere.
D.CFTR is expressed in surface epithelium and serous cells at
the base of submucosal glands in a porcine lung sample, as
shown by the dark staining, signifying binding by CFTR
antibodies to epithelial structures (aminoethylcarbazole

Infected secretions obstruct
airways and, over time,

For primary lung abscesses, the recommended regimens are ----
(1)clindamycin (600 mg IV three times daily; then, with the disappearance of fever and clinical
improvement, 300 mg PO four times daily) or
(2)an IV-administered β-lactam/β-lactamase combination, followed—once the patient’s condition is
stable—by orally administered amoxicillin-clavulanate.
This therapy should be continued until imaging demonstrates that the lung abscess has cleared or
regressed to a small scar. Treatment duration may range from 3–4 weeks to as long as 14 weeks.
One small study suggested that Moxifloxacin (400 mg/d PO) is as effective and well tolerated as
Ampicillin-sulbactam.
Notably, Metronidazole is not effective as a single agent: it covers anaerobic organisms but not the
microaerophilic streptococci that are often components of the mixed flora of primary lung abscesses.
•In secondary lung abscesses------
Antibiotic coverage should be directed at the identified pathogen, and a prolonged course (until
resolution of the abscess is documented) is often required.
Treatment regimens and courses vary widely, depending on the immune state of the host and the
identified pathogen.
Other interventions may be necessary as well, such as relief of an obstructing lesion or treatment
directed at the underlying condition predisposing the patient to lung abscess.
Similarly, if the condition of patients with presumed primary lung abscess fails to improve, additional
studies to rule out an underlying predisposing cause for a secondary lung abscess are indicated.
•An abscess >6–8 cm in diameter is less likely to respond to antibiotic
therapy without additional interventions.Options for patients who
do not respond to antibiotics and whose additional diagnostic
studies fail to identify an additional pathogenthat can be treated
include SURGICAL RESECTION AND PERCUTANEOUS DRAINAGE OF
THE ABSCESS(especially when the patient is a poor surgical
candidate).
•Possible complications of percutaneous drainage include bacterial
contamination of the pleural space as well as pneumothorax and
hemothorax.

Jugular venous pressure and waveforms
•Jugular venous pulse is the oscillating top of the distended proximal portion of
the internal jugular vein and represents volumetric changes that faithfully
reflect the pressure changes in the right heart.
•Right atrial pressure during systole and right ventricular filling pressure during
diastole.
•Window into the right heart, providing critical information regarding its
hemodynamics.
1.Anatomy
2.JV pressure measurement
3.Causes of elevated JVP
4.Normal wave pattern
5.Abnormal wave pattern
6.Kussmauls sign and hepatojugularreflux
7.Specific conditions
The internal jugular vein begins just medial to the mastoid process at the base of the skull. The
internal jugular vein runs directly inferior from the mastoid process,.it joins the subclavian
vein, to form Rtinnominate which continue as superior vena cava and then into the right
atrium.
•The internal jugular
vein is Lateral to
carotid artery & deep
to sternomastoid
muscle.
•External jugular is
superficial to
sternomastoid.
SHOWS THE VERTICAL COURSE OF THE IJV
WHICH PASSES IN BETWEEN THE TWO HEADS
OF THE STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID UNDER THE
MEDIAL END OF CLAVICLE.
Examination of JVP
•Right IJV is usually assessed both for waveform and estimation of venous
pressure
•Transmitted pulsations to overlying skin between two heads of sternomastoid
•Unlike EJV pulsations it is not possible to see IJV pulsations directly as it is deep.
We actually see the transmitted pulsations to the overlying skin b/w the two
heads of sternomastoid.
•Right IJV Preferred :Why?
•Straight line course through innominate vein to the svc and right atrium
•Less likely extrinsic compression from other structures in neck
•Why not EJV
•No or less numbers of valves in IJV than EJV
IJV Carotid pulses
•Superficial and lateral in the
neck
•Deeper and medial in the neck
•Better seen than felt •Better felt than seen
•Has two peaks and two troughs•Has single upstroke only
•Descents >obvious than crests•Upstroke brisker and visible
•Digital compression abolishes
venous pulse
•Digital compression has no
effect
•Jugular venous pressure falls
during inspiration
•Do not change with respiration
•Abdominal compression
elevates jugular pressure
•Abdominal compression has no
effect on carotid pulse
Measurement of JV Pressure
•Sternalangle or angle of Louis -reference point
•Found approximately 5 cm above the center of the right atrium
•Sternal angle –RA: Fixed relationship
Position of Patient
•Patient should lie comfortably and trunk is inclined by an angle of
45º to bed, which permits best view of the upper level of the
venous pulsations
•Elevate chin and slightly rotate head to the left
•Neck and trunk should be in same line
•When neck muscles are relaxed, shine the light tangentially over the
skin and see pulsations
•Simultaneous palpation of the left carotid artery or apical impulse
aids in timing of the venous pulsations in cardiac cycle
•Inclination is required as level go below mandible in high JVP or
below clavicle in low JVP.
•So start with 45ºthen tilt pt. appropriately up or down.
•In patients with low jugular pressure , a lesser (<30º) inclination is
desirable
•In patients with high jugular pressure ,a greater (60-90º) inclination
is required to obtain visible pulsations
Measurement of JVP
•Two scale method is commonly used
•Normally JV pressure does not exceed 3-4 cm above
the sternalangle
•Since RA is approximately 5 cm below the sternal
angle , the jugular venous pressure
corresponds to 9 cm =7mmHg
•Elevated JVP : JVP of >4 cm above
sternal angle .
Kussmaul'ssign
•Normally mean JVP falls during inspiration ..as a result of
impaired RV compliance, so the increased venous return can
not be accommodated by the RV, resulting in an elevated JVP
•Mean jugular venous pressure increases during
inspiration : Kussmaul'ssign
•Constrictive pericarditis
•Severe right heart failure
•RV infarction
•Restrictive cardiomyopathy
•Impaired RV compliance.
Abdominal-Jugular Reflux/Hepato-jugular reflux
•Apply firm pressure to periumbilical region X10-15 sec
•Normally JV pressure rises transiently to < 1cm
while abdominal pressure is continued
•Abdominal compression forces venous blood into thorax.
•A failing/dilated RV not able to receive venous return without
rise in mean venous pressure.
•If JV pressure remains elevated >1cm until
abdominal pressure is continued: Positive
AJR
•Positive AJR
•Incipient (impending) and/or compensated RVF
•Tricuspid regurgitation
•COPD
Normal JVP
•Normal JVP reflects phasicpressure changes in RA during systole and RV during
diastole
•3 visible positive waves ( a, c and v) and 2 negative troughs ( x and y)
•Consists of 3 positive waves
•a, c & v
•And 3 descents
•x, x’ & y
