4.5-4.7 Pulmonary (8) Flashcards
Systemic effect of pulmonary drug delivery due to (small or large) surface area in the lungs and no Hepatic first pass.
large
due to all of alveoli
Two methods of pulmonary drug delivery are ____+___
intratracheal instillation and aerosol inhalation
_____ is a method of pulmonary drug delivery where a drug liquid is instilled into the trachea for distribution deeper into the lung
Intratracheal instillation
______ is a method of pulmonary drug delivery where aerosols may be delivered intratracheally and via orally.
Aerosol inhalation
Surfactant therapy for neonatal RDS is an example of _____ where the drug is a liquid and is dispensed in the tachea of RDS neonates. Four doses administered to different parts of the baby’s lungs: Right side, Left side, Prone, and supine.
Intratracheal instillation
Types of oral aerosols are _____+_______
inhalers and nebulizers
____ type of oral aerosol where it is propellant driven and dry powder
inhaler
____ type of oral aerosol where it utilize/is air-jet and ultrasonic
Nebulizer
The goal in most cases is for the drug to reach the _____ in the lungs, where inflammation and constriction occurs with asthma.
bronchioles
Similarly with nasal cavity, the pulmonary epithelia is ciliated with _______ epithelia to remove unwanted particles and these type of epithelia are found in the trachea, larynx, nasopharynx, nasal cavity, and bronchi.
pseudostratified columnar
Mucus in the lungs are similar in composition and function to that in nasal cavity as it function to prevent epithelial ____ and traps foreign particles.
dehydration
Mucus covers the epithelia from the trachea to the terminal bronchioles and is moved (upward or downward) by the cilia.
upward = towards the pharynx from which it is swallowed
Cilia in the pulmonary region is always moving and this process provide a cleaning mechanism called the ______ which moves particles upwards. Opposed to nasal cavity where it moves particles backwards to be swallowed.
mucociliary escalator
Alveoli have a (greater or lesser) surface area and distance to circulation is shortened.
greater
In respiratory distress there is lack of ____ that prevents the alveoli from collapsing
pulmonary surfactant
The _______ covers the epithelium with amorphous hypophase and alveolar surfactants (this is where the drug will deposited if it is intended to go to the alveoli)
Surface lining Layer (SLL)
If liquid (MDI/Nebulizer or DPI) there will be tiny droplets that contain the drug
MDI/Nebulizer
DPI will be aerosolized drug
