9- Obstructive Lung Disorder Flashcards
Obstructive lung disease functional lung test presents , and physical how?
TLC ^ RV^ Percussion bilateral hyper resonant Auscultation faint Barrel chest Fev1/fvc= decreased
How does the diaphragm present in Ob LD
Pushed down
What mind of diagnosis is emphysema
Anatomical
What kind of diagnosis is chronic bronchitis?
Clinical
What is the cause of airflow obstruction in chronic bronchitis
Edema ,fibrosis and recurring infections of bronchial tree
What is the cause of airflow obstruction in emphysema
Loss of elastic recoil so small respiratory acini collapse
Second cause for Emphysema after cigarette smoke
A1 anti trypsin deficiency
What protease damages the elastic tissue of the lung ?
Serine protease
Destruction of elastic tissue causes what?
Loss of radial traction
Small airways collapse
Air gets trapped
What airways does centriacinar involve
Only dilation of respiratory bronchial
Alveoli normal
The other name for centriacinar
Centri lobar emphysema
What is the mc type of emphysema
Centriacinar
What part of lungs does centriacinar involve
Apical segment of upper lobes where smoke goes up to
Who is centriacinar mostly seen in
Smokers and CWP
Who is panacinar emphysema seen in ?
Patients with AAT deficiency
What organ makes AAT
Liver
Two problems in AAT deficiency ?
Lungs have decreased anti trypsin and liver has accumulation of misfolded ATT - cirrhosis of liver
What does accumulation of misfolded AAT lead to in panacinar emphysema
Cirrhosis of liver cells
What is the thee other name for paraseptal emphysema
Distal acinar
Does paraseptal emphysema cause obstruction
No
What does distal acinar paraseptal emphysema MC lead to
Spontaneous pneumothorax from rupture of sub pleural bullae
What does the thinking and destruction of large air spaces and alveolar capillaries lead to in emphysema
Pulmonary hypertension
3 symptoms of emphysema
Dyspnea
Dec exercise tolerance
Tachypnea– hyperventilation
What does pursing lips in emphysema do and what are these people called
Creates positive backwards pressure- over oxygenated skin so PINK BUFFERS
WhAt develops late in emphysema from PH
COR pulmonary
How does X-ray look in emphysema
Hyperlucent lung fields
Depressed diaphragm
Increased ap diameter
Vertically orientated hidden heart
Mc type of COPD
Chronic bronchitis
Clinical requirement of chronic bronchitis
3 months for two years of cough and sputum
What airways does chronic bronchitis affect
Large-trachea and bronchi
and small airways -terminal bronchi
What do the large airways in chronic bronchitis produce
Mucous gland hyperplasia
Excess mucous
In chronic bronchitis what happens in the small airways
There is goblet cell metaplasia and mucous plugs with smc hypertrophy causing obstruction
