Q
A

in restrictive there is an equal reduction of FVC and FEV1 due to lung pathology. Sometimes the FEV1 may even be raised due to decreased compliance.

54
Q
A

M3 antimuscarinic - long acting smooth muscle relaxation

55
Q
A

short acting B2 adrenergic agonist causing smooth muscle relaxation

56
Q

[COPD]: Dx: define Stage 1 ‘general’ COPD

A

FEV1 >=80%

57
Q

[COPD]: Dx: define stage 2 ‘mild/moderate’ COPD

A

FEV1 50-79% of predicted

58
Q

[COPD]: Dx: define stage 3 ‘severe’ COPD

A

FEV1 30-49% of predicted

59
Q
A

2 week trial of prednisolone

FEV1 rises by >15%

air filled sac

one way valve

(compressive effects)

65
Q
