exam 1 respiratory Flashcards
A preventable and treatable disease with some significant extrapulmonary effects that may contribute to the severity in the individual patient. Its pulmonary component is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious particles or gases
COPD
COPD is usually due to
Inflammation of airway
Parenchyma damage
Decrease of elastic recoil
mucus production and persistent cough
Chronic bronchitis
blue bloater
chronic bronchitis
pink puffer
emphysema
Hct above reference range values
Indicates a disease or disorder
Polycythemia
chronically inflamed bronchi
Excessive secretion of mucus and structural changes in bronchi
Caused by repeated exposure to irritants or infection
Chronic bronchitis
Destruction of alveoli walls
O2 cannot diffuse through capillaries
permanent over inflation of bronchiole
Loss of elastic recoil
Emphysema
the pathologic changes occur in the lobule, whereas the peripheral of the acinus are preserved
centrilobular emphysema
the bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli are destroyed and air space within the lobule are enlarged
panlobular emphysema
an acute worsening of symptoms characterized by increased dyspnea, mucous production, hyperinflation and air trapping which may be triggered by infection or environmental pollutant
Mortality increases as the frequency of exacerbation occur
COPD Exacerbation COPDE
is an alternative to deep coughing if you have trouble clearing your mucus. Take a breath that is slightly deeper than normal. Use your stomach muscles to make a series of 3 rapid exhalations with the airway open, making a “ha, ha, ha” sound. Follow this by controlled diaphragmatic breathing and a deep cough if you feel mucus moving
