Ch. 2 Chest - Pathology Flashcards
exposure adjustment for epiglottitis
Soft tissue (decreased)
name for occupational lung diseases due to inhalation of dust
pneumoconiosis
condition rather than disease, collapse of all or a portion of a lung occurs as a result of obstruction of the bronchus or puncture or “blowout” of an air passageway
atelectasis
bronchitis of both lungs that most commonly is caused by streptococcus
bronchopneumonia
exposure adjustment for reactivation (secondary) tuberculosis
slight increase
exposure adjustment for emphysema
significantly decreased
an accumulation of air in the pleural space that causes partial or complete collapse of the lung and results in immediate and severe shortness of breath and chest pain
pneumothorax
caused by inhalation of asbestos dust (fibers), which results in pulmonary fibrosis, may develop into lung cancer
asbestosis
pneumonia that causes inflammation of the alveoli and connection lung structures
viral (interstitial) pneumonia
an acute or chronic condition in which excessive mucous is secreted into the bronchi, causing cough and shortness of breath. Chief cause is cigarette smoking
bronchitis
infectious bronchitis is caused by what
viruses or bacteria
exposure adjustment for aspiration
Soft tissue (decreased)
serious life threatening condition, which can develop very rapidly; edema or swelling at the point of the epiglottis
epiglottitis
irreversible and chronic lung disease in which air spaces in the alveoli become greatly enlarged as a result of alveolar wall destruction and loss of alveolar elasticity
emphysema
condition of excess fluid within the lung that most frequently is caused by a backup in pulmonary circulation commonly associated with congestive heart failure
pulmonary edema
permanent condition of the lungs that is caused by inhalation of quartz dust - sand dust
silicosis
most common of inherited diseases, condition in which secretions of heavy mucous cause progressive “clogging” of bronchi and bronchioles
cystic fibrosis
atherosclerotic disease affecting the blood supply to the brain
cerebrovascular accident (CVA); stroke
a form of persistent obstruction of the airways that usually causes difficulty in emptying the lungs of air; smoking is predominant cause
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
