  1. Chapter 16 Lung Abscess EDA PM AFC C RB B A Figure 16-1. Lung abscess. A, Cross-sectional view of lung abscess. AFC, Air-fluid cavity;RB, ruptured bronchus (and drainage of the liquified contents of the cavity); EDA, early development of abscess; PM, pyogenic membrane. Consolidation (B) and excessive bronchial secretions (C) are common secondary anatomic alterations of the lungs.

  2. Anatomic Alterations of the Lungs • Alveolar consolidation • Alveolar-capillary and bronchial wall destruction • Tissue necrosis • Cavity formation • Fibrosis and calcification of the lung parenchyma • Bronchopleural fistulae • Atelectasis • Excessive airway secretions and empyema

  3. Etiology • Pneumonia caused by aspiration (most common) • Klebsiella • Staphylococcus • Predisposing factors for aspiration • Alcohol abuse • Seizure disorders • General anesthesia • Head trauma • Cerebrovascular accident • Swallowing disorders

  4. Etiology (Less frequent causes) • Aerobic organisms • Streptococcus pyogenes • Klebsiella pneumoniae • Escherichia coli • On rare occasions • Streptococcus pneumoniae • Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Legionella pneumophila

  5. Etiology (Other organisms that may lead to a lung abscess) • Mycobacterium tuberculosis • Fungal organisms • Histoplasma capsulatum • Coccidioides immitis • Blastomyces • Aspergillus fumigatus • Parasites • Paragonimus westermani • Echinococcus • Entamoeba histolytica

  6. Etiology Lung abscess may also develop from: • Bronchial obstruction • Vascular obstruction • Interstitial lung disease • Bullae or cysts • Penetrating chest wounds

  7. Overview of the Cardiopulmonary Clinical Manifestations Associated with LUNG ABSCESS The following clinical manifestations result from the pathophysiologic mechanisms caused (or activated) by Alveolar Consolidation (see Figure 9-8), and when the abscess is draining, by Excessive Bronchial Secretions (see Figure 9-8)—the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with chronic bronchitis (see Figure 16-1).

  8. Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside Vital signs • Increased respiratory rate • Increased heart rate, cardiac output, blood pressure

  9. Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside • Chest pain/decreased chest expansion • Cyanosis • Cough, sputum production, and hemoptysis • Chest assessment findings • Increased tactile and vocal fremitus • Dull percussion note • Bronchial breath sounds • Diminished breath sounds • Whispered pectoriloquy • Pleural friction rub

  10. Figure 2-11. A short, dull, or flat percussion note is typically produced over areas of alveolar consolidation.

  12. Figure 2-19. Whispered voice sounds auscultated over a normal lungare usually faint and unintelligible.
