COPD PP 21 on Flashcards
Type B COPD, “blue bloater” associated with ________
chronic bronchitis
Hypersecretion of bronchial mucus
chronic bronchitis
1) Chronic or recurrent productive cough >3 months >2+ successive years 2) Persistent, irreversible when paired with emphysema 3) 1:2 male to female ratio 4) >30 to 40 years
chronic bronchitis
Chronic inflammation and swelling of the bronchial mucosa resulting in scarring leads to ______
chronic bronchitis
Elevated IL8 levels recruit neutrophil activation Elevated CD8 T-lymphocytes Extend into surrounding alveoli prevents proper oxygenation and potentiates airway obstruction
chronic bronchitis
Hyperplasia of bronchial mucous gland/goblet cells Formation of mucus plugs
chronic bronchitis
Increased bronchial wall thickness associated with _____
chronic bronchitis
Pulmonary hypertension associated with _____
chronic bronchitis
Pulmonary hypertension in chronic bronchitis caused by _______ and ______
cor pulmonale; r/s heart failure
Results in dilation of airway sacs: bronchiectasis Dilated sacs contain pools of infected secretion that do not clear themselves; can cause further infection that can spread to adjacent lung fields by the lymphatics or venous drainage to other areas of the body, commonly the brain
