COPD Flashcards
a complete or partial collapse of the entire lung or area (lobe) of the lung
Atelectasis
A patient with COPD and is barrel chested. Immediately, you think of this COPD. Which is it?
Emphysema
α 1 Anti Trypsin Deficiency is produced in
Liver
Why do patients w emphysema often exhibit purse-lipped breathing?
inc airway pressure during expiration to reduce air trapping
very good culture media for organisms to infect further respi system
Pneumonia
due to backflow superior vena cava
JVD: Jugular Vein Distention
Protease is an enzyme that _____ & _____
(1) breakdown protein
(2) target tissue
ballooning appears at out periphery of lung, can further complicate into compression pneumothorax
-> large bulbus structure & rupture,
Paraseptal / Distal Acinar Emphysema
Emphysema inflammatory process occurs in
Lungs
Goblet cells are scattered throughout _____
pseudostratified cilited epithelium
Causes of COPD (SEA)
(1) Smoking or Vaping
(2) Environmental
(3) Alpha 1 Anti Trypsin Deficiency
Process to stimulate cough reflex
breath in → entrap particles in mucous → beating of cilia will bring particles away from air sacs → goes further to main bronchioles
→ trachea → pharynx = stimulate cough reflex
Elastase is synthesized by ____ & ___
(1) Cytokines & (2) Neutrophils
_____ undergoes phagocytosis, release inflammatory mediators ____ & cause inflammatory process
(1) Alveolar Macrophage
(2) Cytokines
Normal ratio of respiration
0.8
Inflammatory process (1) (2)
(1) Inc vasodilation & blood circulation
(2) Occurs in the lungs
Sign & Symptoms of Chronic Bronchitis (OCC WIIDH)
(1) Obesity / Inc BMI
(2) Cyanosis (hypercapnea)
(3) Chronic productive cough (3 mos, 2 yrs)
(4) Wheezing upon exhalation
(5) Inc anteroposterior diameter of heart
(6) Inspiratory crackles/rales
(7) Dyspnea (diff breathing)
(8) Hyperresonance chest percussion on examination
Risks may develop in CB
(1) Hypercapnea
(2) Hyperplasia
(3) Hypertrophy
(4) Hypoxia
(5) Ciliary Disfunction
(6) Pneumonia
when mucous compresses or breaks w cilia
Ciliary disfunction
Etiological bacteria in CB
1) H. Influenza
2) Moraxella catarrhalis
