B4-057 Obstructive Lung Disease Flashcards
increase in resistance to airflow due to diffuse airway disease
obstructive
reduced expansion of lung parenchyma and decreased TLC
restrictive lung disease
obstructive lung disease: FEV1/FVC is
less than 0.7
restrictive lung disease: FEV1/FVC is
normal
2 diseases under COPD
- emphysema
- chronic bronchitis
if theres a reversible component, patient may have COPD and
asthma
primary risk factor for COPD
smoking
- affects proximal acinus
- respiratory bronchioles are enlarged, distal alveoli are spared
- upper lobe predominant
centriacinar
- affects entire acinus
- uniform enlargement from respiratory bronchiole to alveoli
- lower lobe predominant
panacinar
what type of emphysema is associated with heavy smoking?
centriacinar
what type of empysema is associated with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency?
panacinar
centriacinar emphysema
panacinar emphysema
emphysema
an increase in […] damages the elastic fibers of the alveoli septa, causing emphysema
neutrophil elastase
loss of […] in the alveolar walls allows the respiratory bronchioles to collapse during expiration
elastic tissue
in emphysema, hyperinflation is caused by
air being trapped in alveoli and dilation of distal airspaces
A1AT deficiency + smoking causes
increased severity and earlier age of onset of emphysema
A1AT deficiency can also cause
liver cirrhosis
- increased bronchovascular markings with bronchial cuffing
- cardiomegaly
chronic bronchitis
hyperinflation
* low diaphragm
* dark lung fields with reduced vascular markings
emphysema
caused by exposure to noxious inhaled substances
chronic bronchitis
smoke, grain/cotton/silica dust
mucus hypersecretion in airway
chronic bronchitis
acquired CTFR dysfunction from smoking
chronic bronchitis
