Q

4 obstructive diseases:

A
  1. bronchitis = inflammation of bronchial epithelium
  2. asthma, infection, decreased cilia function = secretions from epithelium
  3. asthma = constriction of smooth muscle
  4. tumors, aspiration = physical blockade

Q

what can change the distance?

A

pneumonia

19
Q

what pleura is “on the lung”

A

visceral

20
Q

which pleura has holes in it for stoma?

A

parietal

21
Q

pleural effusion is most commonly seen with…

A

CHF

increased pulmonary venous hydrostatic pressure from the visceral side

could also be caused by : decreased microvascular oncotic pressure, decreased pleural pressure, blockade of lymph drainage

22
Q

result of decreased expansion of the lungs due to alteration in lung parenchyma, pleura, chest wall, or neuromuscular function

A

restrictive pulmonary disorders

list on slide 20

23
Q

bronchial circulation generates a …

A

physiological shunt

1-2% of CO goes to the bronchiole and empties into the pulmonary v.

24
Q

describe hypoxic pulmonary vasocconstriction

A

ventilation and perfusion matching –> areas not well ventilated will have less blood flow

unique to lungs

25
Q

average V/Q (ventilation/perfusion ratio)

A

0.8

26
Q

high V/Q =

A

little blood flow

27
Q

low V/Q =

A

little ventilation

28
Q

V/Q = infinity

A

no blood flow (dead space)

with no ventilation V/Q = 0 (shunt)

29
Q

what can not be measured by spirometry?

A

residual volume

see slide 27

30
Q

what can be completely measure by spirometry?

A

vital capacity = inspiratory reserve + tidal volume + expiratory reserve

see slide 27

31
Q

PEF =

A

peak expiratory flow

32
Q

PIF =

A

peak inspiratory flow

33
Q

FEF =

A

forced expiratory flow

34
Q

amount you can blow out in 1 sec

A

FEV1

35
Q

FEV1/FVC

A

ability of lungs to force air out within a certain amount of time. Represents resistance within the system

36
Q

large airways are __ on flow-volume curve, small airways are ___

A

see slide 29

large are the fast upstroke, small are the slower downstroke

37
Q

obstructive lung disease looks like …

A

slide 30 (“the punch”)

large airways not much affected, small airways limited greatly

38
Q

upper airway obstruction looks like…

A

upper limits of flow stopped

slide 31 (“the chop”)

39
Q

restrictive lung disease looks like …

A

slide 32 (“ the push”)

40
Q

normal FEV1/FVC =

A

0.8

80% of vital capacity can be forcibly expired in first second

41
Q

obstructive lung disease FEV1/FVC =

A

both FVC and FEV1 decrease but FEV1 decreases more

DECREASED RATIO

42
Q

restrictive lung disease FEV1/FVC =

A

INCREASED RATIO

both FVC and FEV1 are decreased, but FEV1 decreases less

43
Q

check out the online pulmonary function video

A

its on d2L
