Q

What are clinical manifestations of pulmonary obstructive disease?

A
  1. Increased WOB
  2. V/Q mismatch
  3. Decreased FEV1
  4. Wheezing
  5. Dyspnea
17
Q

What disorder causes bronchial hyper-responsiveness, construction of airways, and variable airflow obstruction that is reversible

A

Asthma

18
Q

What are clinical manifestations of asthma?

A
  1. Tachycardia, tachypnea, low SpO2
  2. Wheezing, non-productive coughing, prolonged expiration
  3. SOB, tightness in chest or pain, dyspnea
  4. Increased WOB
  5. Pulse paradoxus (disappears during resp cycle)
  6. Diaphoresis, tripoding, anxious, altered LOC
19
Q

What is Status asthmaticus?

A

Bronchospasmr not reversible by usual measures
Life threatening!
1. Silent Chest
2. PaCO2 > 70mmHg

20
Q

How is asthma managed?

A
  1. Oxygen
  2. Inhaled beta-agonist bronchodilators (ex. Salbutamol)
  3. Corticosteroids
  4. Ipratropium bromide (bronchodilator)
  5. Educate over allergens and irritants
21
Q

What pulmonary disease is largely caused by smoking?

A

COPD

22
Q

What pulmonary disease is characterized by progressive, irreversible airway obstruction

A

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

23
Q

What are 6 risk factors of COPD?

A
  1. Tobacco smoke
  2. Occupational dusts and chemicals
  3. Outdoor air pollution
  4. Indoor air pollution (biomass fuel for cooking and heating)
  5. Effects of lung growth during gestation and childhood
  6. Genetics (alpha1 antitrupsin gene)
24
Q

What is the pathogenosis of COPD?

A
  1. Inflammation, edema, and fibrosis of bronchial wall
  2. Hypertrophy of submucosal glands with hypersecretion of micos
  3. AIRFLOW OBSTRUCTION
  4. Loss of elastic lung fibers
  5. Impairs lung to recoil, results in airway collapse
  6. Loss of alveolar tissue
  7. Decrease SA for gas exchange
25
Q

What would be the V/Q ratio in a person with COPD?

A

Low V/Q

Inflammation and excess mucus secretion obstruct airflow

26
Q

Why are lungs in COPD patients hyperinflated?

A

Mucus plugs in combination. With narrowed airways

  1. Air trapped in alveoli
  2. Dec elastic recoil of bronchial wall
  3. Airways start to collapse
  4. Increased WOB and hyper expansion of chest
27
Q

What pulmonary disease is due to hypersecretion of mucus and chronic productive cough that lasts at least 3 mi this of the year and for at least 2 consecutive years?

A

Chronic bronchitis

28
Q

What is the Pathophysiology of chronic bronchitis?

A
  1. Inspired irritants increase mucous production, size, and number of mucous glands (mucus thicker than normal)
  2. Bronchial edema
  3. Hypertrophied bronchial smooth muscle
  4. Hypoxemia and Hypercapnia (d/t ineffective resp)
  5. Airways collapse early in expiration, trapping gas in lung
29
Q

What differentiates chronic bronchitis from asthma?

A

A productive cough

30
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of chronic bronchitis?

A
  1. Productive cough
  2. Wheezing, SOB
  3. Decreased exercise tolerance
  4. Decreased FVC, FEV1
  5. Increased FRC, RV
  6. Polycythemia, cyanosis, clubbing
  7. Pulmonary HTN
31
Q

How is chronic bronchitis managed?

A
  1. Smoking cessation (halts progression)
  2. Bronchidilators
  3. Expectorants
  4. Chest physio
  5. Antibiotics
  6. Steroids
  7. Mechanical ventilation
  8. Oxygen therapy
32
Q

What are the 4 respiratory defence mechanisms?

A
  1. Naso-pharyngeal defences (lysosomes and IgA)
  2. Glottic and cough reflexes
  3. Mucociliary blanket
  4. Pulmonary macrophages (final defence)
