Castilla Pulmonary Pathophysiology Flashcards
5 Classes of Pulm. Htn?
- PAH
- L. heart probs
- Breathing disease/Hypoxia probs
- Clots
- Multi-factorial
5 Driving forces for ventilation (most to least sensitive)
- Co2
- O2
- pH
- Stretch
- Pain
What happens to the V:Q in Emphysema?
Stays the same because you’re dipping ventilations AND perfusion function
What happens to the o2/FiO2 ratio upon O2 administration during ARDs?
Doesn’t change, because the membrane is wrecked.
Panacinar vs Centriacinar damage from emphysema?
- Para= Entire Acinar Unit
- Centri= More proximal
Expiratory Accessory muscles?
Stomach muscles and Internal Intercostals
Two types of Restrictive Lung disease?
- Extrinsic: Chest wall, nerve, Structural
2. Intrinsic: Lung tissue, scarring, Toxins, (Sarcoidosis)
Patient 1 has clubbing
Patient 2 has flattened diaphragm with barrel chest; thoughts on each patient?
1: Club= Bronchitis
2: Dia/Barrel= Emphy
Shunt vs Dead space?
- Shunt V=0
- Dead space Q=0
Bronchitis vs Emphysema: Which one causes early onset of DYSPNEA and why?
Emphysema because the tissue is getting wrecked, whereas bronchitis can still rely on a lot of the functional healthy tissue.
Inspiratory Accessory muscles?
Mainly Neck
What happens to the V:Q in Bronchitis?
V goes down, Q stays mostly Okay.
Pulmonary HTN
> 25 Pulm. Art Pressure
- Smooth Muscle and Vasoconstrictors close up blood flow
In obstructive lung disease, pts. have a lot of trouble with expiration, how will the flow volume curve present?
- Shallow and lengthened on top Expiratory Curve
- Relatively normal on inspiratory curve
What does IPPA stand for?
- In reference to lung exam
- Inspection, Palpation, Percussion, Auscultation
Respiratory conducting airways go up to the ____ branch, which then leads into the terminal bronchioles
16th
Bronchitis vs Emphysema: Which one has greater airway resistance?
Bronchitis b/c tissue still in tact and getting flooded, (also why it’s more likely to cause Cor Pulm)
Two main types of Obs. Lung diseases?
- Asthma
2. COPD
