COPD Flashcards
____ respiratory disease:
decreased total lung capacity, O2, diffusing capacity, and compliance
restrictive
paraseptal emphysema =
sub-pleural involvement
spontaneous pneumothorax
no COPD
irregular emphysema =
localized, scar associated
no copd
emphysema vs chronic bronchitis
pt appearance

CXR chronic bronchitis
enlarged, horizontal heart
increased bronchial markings
physical exam findings, emphysema
severe, early onsset dyspnea
pink puffers
