Missed Concepts
- Get a speech and swallow eval in patients with evidence of aspiration pneumonia (sour taste in mouth, pulmonary consolidation surrounding an abscess with an air-fluid level).
- Chest PT and suctioning are used for post-op atelectasis. In patients with wheezing in the early post-operative period, think bronchospasm and consider scheduled nebulized bronchodilators.
- Reintubate early in a patient who develops laryngeal edema with impending respiratory failure.
- Chronic cough differential includes: foreign body (especially in a child)
