Q

Why are WBC’s released with emphysema COPD and what is the effect?

A

To try and get rid of smoking vapor particles, but they end up destroying the alveolar walls because of the lack of alpha 1-antitrypsin

Q

What is the result of early airways closure with COPD?

Q

What are observable signs of COPD?

A

Digital clubbing, peripheral cyanosis, barrel chest, elbow roughness from UE support

19
Q

What happens to accessory muscles with COPD?

A

Hypertrophy

20
Q

What happens to FEV1 with COPD?

A

Decreases

21
Q

What is bronchitis?

A

Productive cough for 3+ more months for at least 2 years

22
Q

Why is there excess mucous secretions with bronchitis?

A

Hyperplasia at goblet cells and mucous glands

23
Q

What happens at the lungs secondary to decreased ventilation?

A

Vasoconstriction

24
Q

What can cause a patient with Bronchitis to appear bloated?

A

Vasoconstriction leads to increased pulmonary pressures and ultimately R sided CHF

25
Q

What are the four key symptoms of bronchitis?

A
  1. Productive cough
  2. Bloated
  3. Peripheral cyanosis
  4. SOB
26
Q

What is CF and the four effects?

A

Genetic condition that causes
1. Increased mucous production
2. Thick secretions that block airways
3. Chronic inflammation
4. High susceptibility to infection

27
Q

What does hyperinflation with CF result in?

A

Decreased gas exchange and hypoxemia

28
Q

What are the 5 signs of CF?

A
  1. Hyperinflation on x-ray
  2. Increased RR
  3. Rales and wheezes
  4. Productive cough and thick secretions
  5. Decreased endurance
29
Q

What is the definition of Asthma?

A

Reversible OLD characterized by inflammation and increased reactivity of smooth airway muscles to stimuli

30
Q

What is the response to stimuli with asthma?

A

Chronic inflammation and then bronchospasm and bronchoconstriction related to the stimuli

31
Q

What are the four types of asthma?

A
  1. Extrinsic
  2. Intrinsic
  3. Exercise induced
  4. Occupational
32
Q

What is extrinsic asthma?

A

Reaction to allergens

33
Q

What is intrinsic asthma?

A

Unknown, but triggered by pulmonary infections

34
Q

What is exercise induced asthma?

A

Related to increased RR demand, airway temp and humidity

35
Q

What is occupational asthma?

A

Similar to extrinsic, but directly items at place of work

36
Q

What is Bronchiectasis?

A

Progressive with permanent airway damage that is similar to emphysema

37
Q

What is the specific cause of Bronchiectasis?

A

Chronic inflammation after pulmonary infection

38
Q

What conditions can then lead to Bronchiectasis?

A
  1. CF - half of all cases
  2. RA
  3. Sinusitis
39
Q

What is the Stage 1 of Bronchiectasis?

A

Chronic infection

40
Q

What is Stage 2 of Bronchiectasis?

A

Chronic inflammatory response to infection

41
Q

What is Stage 3 of Bronchiectasis?

A

Impaired immune defense and decreased mucociliary ability

42
Q

What is Stage 4 of Bronchiectasis?

A

Permanent dilation of airways

43
Q

What are 4 signs of Bronchiectasis?

A
  1. Persistent cough with large amounts of sputum
  2. Dyspnea
  3. Some chest pain
  4. Fatigue, weight loss, decreased endurance
