1 Resp Patho Flashcards
Bronchodilation: which receptor/g protein/2nd messenger/release. Ends when
B2, Gs, Adenylate cyclase, cAMP (2nd), reduces Ca release from SR, bronchodilators. End w pd3 converting cAMP to AMP
NO: which nerves it acts on, stim what
Non cholinergic PNS nerves to release VIP and inc NO produc, stim cGMP to dilate
Bronchoconstriction: nerve, release what onto what, G protein, 2nd mess, turned off when
CN X, Ach onto M3, Gq to phos C, IP3 (2ND), ca release from SR. Turned off when IP3 to IP2
C fiber mediators that bronchoconstriction
Sub p, neurokinin A, calcitonin gene related peptide
Steroids interfere where
Block mast cells from stim arachidonic acid leading to leukotrienes
Cromolyn affects what
Release of cytokines, leukotrienes, histamine
Methylxanthines affect what
PDE to stim cAMP, dec ca release and cause relaxation
Beta 2 ag effect on K
Hypokalemia
How anticholinergics work to dilate
Antagonize M3, dec IP3 and ca release
Methylxanthines: drug example, side effects when >20 mcg/ml
Theophylline. NVD, HA, cant sleep
Theophylline SE when >30 mcg/ml
Sz, tachydysrhythmias, CHF
Fev1: Effort ____, declines w ___, nml value
Dependent, age,>80% of predicted
FVC: effort ___, M/F nml
Dependent. 5L, 3.7L
FEV1/FVC ratio nml
80%
FEF 25-75: effort ___, tests what, nml
Less effort dependent, middle airway flow, 75-100% predicted
MVV: test of ___,nml
Endurance. M: 160L, F: 100
Dlco: test of what, nml
Gas exchange, 17-25 ml/min/mmhg
Procedure high to low risk for pulm complic
Aortic > thoracic> upper abd = neuro = peripheral vascular > emergency
Which lab test does and doesnt show risk pulm postop complic
Does: albumin <3.5. Doesnt: abg and pft
Smoking cessation: when CO and p50 return to normal
T1/2 4-6 hr CO. P50 returns 12 hours
Smoking cessation: when pulm func returns and when hepatic enzyme induc subsides
6 weeks for both
How to do ARMs
PIP to 40 for 8 seconds
Obstructive disease: which tests are normal, low, or hi nml
Nml/hi nml: RV, FRC, TLC. Low: ratio and fef 25-75. Low nml: FVC and fev1.
Restrictive disease: tests that are low vs nml
Low: FVC, fev1, RV, FRC, tlc. Nml: ratio, 25-75
How to differentiate on spirometry: obstructive, restrictive, fixed
Obstruc: concave exp limb. Fixed: flat insp and exp limbs. Restrictive: smaller and shifted right
Flow volume loop: direction of breathing, exp vs insp on chart, vol on chart
Clockwise, exp on top insp bottom. Vol increases right to left
Extrathoracic vs intrathoracic obstruction on flow vol loop
Extra: insp limb flat, intra: exp limb flat
Asthma: greatest risk factor, tests that are reduced
Autopsy. FEV1, fev1/FVC ratio, 25-75 (all imp w dilator tx)
