24
Asthma the inflammatory cells
mast cells neutrophils macrophages which will attract leukotrienes ans cytokines at the end the lung structure will change
25
what's symptoms of COPD
Barrel chest inability to expire air hyper expanded long overinflated lungs dyspneic probably hypoxemia hypercapnia, CO2 retention excessive mucus bullae destroyed alveolitis due to aIr trapping
26
What happens during the late course of COPD
Pulmonary hypertension due to vasoconstrictive arteries and thick arteries, patients won't have hypoxia atnrest until late stage but can still happen at exercise so do give oxygen . for a hypertension can cause hypertrophy on right ventricular valve of the hearts cor pulmonale right ventricle dilates right side heart failure
27
Pulmonary hypertension can cause
Rv hypertrophy, right heart failure after dialate
28
Systemic diseases of the COPD
Cardiovascular muscle wasting CACHEXIA osteoporosis metabolic syndrome and diabetes
29
Early-stage COPD symptoms
Unproductive chronic cough, decreased airflow secretly, progressive dyspnea on exertion every day ,cannot the deep breathe, heavy chest and air hunger so some difficulties with ADL
30
Copd late stage
Dyspnea of rest, increased trapped, flat diaphragm, accessory muscles - chest breathing, wheezing chest tightness of been following activities
31
Advanced COPD
Fatigue weight-loss and anorexia
32
Prolonged expiration, wheezing, decreased breath sounds, barrel chest, sitting upright with pursed lip breathing and assessory muscle. Increase hemoglobin
Copd
33
Edema on ankle is
Right heart cor pulmonale
34
Mild stage of COPD is what FEV
More than or equal to 80
35
Moderate COPD is what FDV
50 to 80%
36
Severe COPD is How many FEV
30-50
37
If the FEV is less than30 for COPD
Very severe COPD
38
Most common chronic sympt of cor pulmonale
Dyspnea
39
Distended neck , right upper quadrant tender hepatomegaly peripheral edema and weight gain
Right heart manisfestation
40
Three things to treat cor pulmonales
Bronchial dilatiooxygen 15 or more hours today | Diuretic
41
HCO3 level late COPD stage
Normal to hi
42
If late COPD patient is breathless
Give SABA
43
Late COPD stage need to be treated something
CPAP
44
Three symptoms of COPD exacerbation
Dyspnea , Sputum vol , nd purulence
45
If patient has acute respiratory failure because it way too long to report or the discontinued the med you give now
Cardio selective b adrenergic blockers and chronic beta blocker prophylactic
46
4 things that reduce COPD exacerbation
LA BA, long anti-cholinergic, ICS, rofluminast
47
Two test to check the symptoms of COPD
MMRC dyspnea | CAT impact the life
48
Test copd death
Bode
49
ABGs of late COPD
Low O2 low pH high CO2 hi HCO3
50
Early COPD ABGs
Normal to low oxygen .normal CO2
51
Vaccines for COPD smokers
Flu shot and pneumococcal vaccine
52
Moderate COPD which is FEV of greater than 60% use what drug
L ABA Longbronchodilator but for rescue can use short SABA | Can also add ICS to bronchodilator
53
A drug that is anti phosdiesterase anti-inflammatory and a block the production of reactive oxygen radicals to decrease of COPD exacerbation
ROFLUMILAST
54
The drive to breath depends on the carbon dioxide then the sensitivity drive to breath is lost
CO2 narcosis
55
RARE, from too much oxygen ,PUL EDEM, CAUSE ARDS
Oxygen toxicity More than 50% of oxygen given for 24 hours is potentially toxic less than 40% for short time is non-toxic
56
When nitrogen is not absorbed, nitrogen supposed to prevent collapse when is too much oxygen given the nitrogen is filtered out
Absorption atelectasis
57
Infection the highest risk for wat nd by what organism and prevent is what
Heated nebulizers by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa prevented with Ballard closed suction system
58
Wash nasal cannula is needed | Wen when, replace when
Wash 1-2x a week. Replace q.2-4wk
59
If rbc hematocrit and hemoglobin goes down
Dyspnea
60
If acute respiratory failure
So someone to help make sure patient have IV access device ready For. Stat give more than 94% maintainoxygen, High fowler
61
Dyspnea, dec chest movement ,decreased breath sounds hyperresonance the solution is insert tube or a flutter valve
Pneumothorax
62
Considered in medical emergency showing signs of cyanosis and air hunger ,agitate, sub q emphysema, hyperrresonance. Needle compression and chest to chest drainage
Tension pneumothorax
