Caring for the Patient with Pulmonary Disease Flashcards
what are the two categories of pulmonary disease
- congenital
- acquired
what are the types of congenital pulmonary disease
- cystic fibrosis
- bronchitis
- emphysema
what are the types of acquired pulmonary disease
- industrial
- recreational
what are the causes of industrial pulmonary disease
- black lung (coal miners)
- asbestosis (miners)
- bronchitis (steel mills, smog)
- COPD
what are the causes of recreational pulmonary disease
- tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaping, chew)
- cannabis
- cannabidol- topicals
what are the problems aggravated by smoke and smoking
- periodontal disease
- peri implantitis
- asthma
the negative of cigarette smoking on the periodontium is:
cumulative and dose dependent
the severity of attachment loss is directly related to:
the amount of smoking measured either as pack years or number of cigarettes per day
cigarette smoking significantly increases the risk for tooth loss by:
70%
what are the effects of smoking on the periodontium
the host response to bacterial plaque and the ability of the wound healing response in the host are significantly affected
- the functions of vascularity - ability to provide O2, nutrients, cells and growth stimulants to the tissues
what parts of angiogenesis are altered from smoking
- induction of VEGF signaling
- formation of tip cells
- stalk cell development
- vessel outgrowth
- anastomisis and perfusion
- maturation and stabilization
what are the effects of smoking on periodontal disease
- vascular alterations
- altered neutrophil function
- decreased IgG production
- decreased lymphocyte proliferation
- increased prevalence of periopathogens
- altered fibroblast attachment and function
- difficulty in eliminating pathogens by mechanical therapy
- negative local effects on cytokine and growth factor products
what is refractory periodontitis
the smokers become refractory to the traditional periodontal treatment and tend to show more periodontal breakdown that non smokers after therapy
in studies of pts who failed to respond to the conventional therapy, including different combinations of OHI, SRP, surgery and anitbiotics, approximately ___ were smokers
90%
what is chronic inflammatory airway disorder
- airway hyper responsiveness to stimuli
- bronchial edema
- narrowing of the airways- obstruction
what are the signs and symptoms of asthma
- recurrent, reversible episodes of:
- dyspnea (shortness of breath)
- wheezing
- coughing
- tightness of chest
which of the following is a true asthma symptom
shortness of breath/constriction of airway/dyspnea
what are the aggravating/complicating factors for asthma
- smoking
- air pollutants - urban or industrial
what are the stages of asthma
- control
- partially controlled
-uncontrolled
what are the controlled asthma daytime symptoms, limitations of actions, nocturnal symptoms, need for rescue meds, and lung function
- twice or less per week
- none
- none
- twice or less per week
- normal
