Exam 3 Flashcards
obstructive lung disease is a problem with getting air ___
out
T or F, typically, pts with obstructive lung disease have just one type of obstructive issue
F, typically its multiple
4 generic sx of pts with chronic obstructive lung disease

B. Cystic fibrosis
C. Asthma
D. Bronchiectasis
4 types of adult obstructive lung disease
emphysema
asthma
chronic bronchitis
bronchiectasis
explain t he cause of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
babies get this as a result of being mechanically ventilated. the issue is that there has been damage to the alveoli and it is harder to expand lungs bc lack of surfactant, and they have low strength in muscles)
typically, premies born under ____ wks require a vent
under 32 weeks
tell tell sign on an image of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
ground glass appearance
primary sx of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
- Tachypnea
- Cyanosis with feeding or crying
- Chest retractions, nasal flaring, expiratory grunting
The issue with adults who had bronchopulmonary dysplasia as a baby
they battle chronic pulmonary issues, Often have decreased growth and increased incidence of neurodevelopmental sequelae (e.g., cerebral palsy, impairments in gross and fine motor skills, cognition and language development
cystic fibrosis is a(n) ____ disorder
autosomal recessive genetic disorder
CF is more prominent with what ethnicity
whites
explain the pathophysiology of CF
Problem affects the formation of the protein CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator), a protein channel that controls chloride movement
as a result of the CFTR/chloride issue with CF, what occurs
thick, sticky mucus that obstructs airways
pts with CF suffer from chronic
hypoxia
pts with CF often have what postural appearance
kyphosis from all of the coughing
explain the concept of pancreatic insufficiency with CF
bc of the thick mucus, the ducts in the pancreas get clogged and enzymes get trapped. this results in decreased absorption of nutrients
very well known indicator of CF babies/pts
salty sweat
the thick mucus production for CF pts often leads to ___
infections
explain the result of ventilation perfusion mismatching with CF pts
hypoxemia resulting in dyspnea
Pulmonary hypertension –>cor pulmonale –>right ventricular failure
Increased CO2 (later in disease)
Respiratory acidosis (as respiratory failure occurs)
why do pts with CF have steatorrhea
(excessive fat in feces) they don’t absorb all nutrients
what might you see in regards to fingernails of CF pts
clubbing dt chronic hypoxia
describe asthma
airways become sensitive to stimuli and a broncho spasm occurs = wheezing
4 main stimulants to asthma
allergens, exercise, infections, stress
main tx for acute asthma attack
bronchodialator (typically this solves the problem)
what environment would most likely cause asthma issues when exercising
in a cool, dry environment is most likely to aggravate exercise-induced asthma; swimming is excellent activity
what is suggested ex regime to handle asthma
Suggest short periods of exercise (less than 6 continuous minutes) for conditioning without bronchial irritation
what is bronchiectasis
permanent dialation of the bronchi = area for infections
these airways become fibrotic and produce lots of mucus
what is hemoptysis
coughing up bld
sx associated with bronchiectasis
hemoptysis, dyspnea, pleuritic chest px, bacteria in sputum
prognosis for brocnhiectasis
with antibiotic intervention, pts live into their 70s and 80s
who are the “pink Puffers”
emphysema pts
explain emphysema
permanent enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole, accompanied by destruction of their walls
emphysema is a ____ disease
permanent
what causes the enlargment of airspace with emphysema
Destruction of alveolar walls and elastic tissue , Leads to permanent enlargement of the gas exchanging airways.
There is a loss of elastic tissue that normally serves to hold airways open leads to bronchiole collapse, this is due to imbalance between proteolytic enzyme inhibitors and proteolytic enzymes
people with the inherited version of emphysema have what issue (what is causing their emphysema)
people with the inherited version have a decreased number of the proteolytic enzyme inhibitors (α1-antitrypsin) that would control the action of the enzyme (proteolytic enzyme destroys or eats lung tissue) so the enzymes go crazy and destroy the tissue
smoking does what to the proteolytic enzyme (emphysema)
increases the number = more destruction of tissue
prognosis for which type of emphysema is worse
the inheireted one
sx for inheireted emphysema usually present themselves at what age
Symptoms (shortness of breath) occurs around age 40 if person also smokes; around age 55 if non-smoker
main effects she highlighted for emphysema (findings we would see from test/evaluations)
Decreased FEV
Increased TLC, FRC, and RV
Hyperresonance to mediate percussion
main signs/sx emphysema
Primary symptom is dyspnea on exertion and SOB
No wheezing or coughing.
Trouble getting air out.
Physically inactive and deconditioned
Tend to be thin, may have rosy skin tones
Barrel chested
T or F, if a person stops smoking, emphysema will clear up
F, If stop smoking, further destruction stops, but lungs don’t repair
Tx for emphysema
there is none (just tx their sx)

productive cough (> 100 ml/day) for 3 months of the year for 2 consecutive years.
number one cause of chronic bronchitis
smoking
with emphysema, is there any issue with over production of mucus
no
explain chronic bronchitis
the chronic irritation causes hyperproduction of mucus = damage to the cillia = infections

diff btwn restrictive and obstructive lung disease
restrictive- prob getting air in
obstructive- prob getting air out
restrictive lung disease is usually dt decreased__
compliance
FEV with restrictive lung disease is usually
normal or increased, cant get lungs to open well, but when the finally do they will collapse and close quickly
Cor pulmonale means what
Pulmonary hypertension leads to Right-sided ventricular disease
overall, restrictive lung disease usually causes a _____ , ____cough
dry, nonproductive
RDS is aka
hyaline membrane disease - lack of surfactant
RDS in a premie can lead to the need to have a ventilator, this can result in
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
gestation less than ___ weeks is at risk for RDS
36
biggest issue with RDS

any tubes going down throat (NG tube,
intubation, mechanical ventilation); dysphagia, lung injury, diabetes, chronic cardiopulmonary disease, intra-abdominal infection; uremia; shock; smoker; elderly; poor nutritional; long term use of certain drugs
First response to infection is edema, followed by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (phagocytosis) and deposits of fibrin
Does this describe viral or bacterial pneumonia
bacterial
First localizes in the epithelial cells and destroys cilia
May proceed to the alveoli leading to edema, hemorrhage, hyaline membrane formation, and possibly ARDS
Does this describe viral or bacterial pneumonia

Nonproductive cough g. Patchy diffuse follows the path of the central conducting airways h. Normal white blood cell count
viral
this is a key component of any pneumonia tx
hydration
Cause of ARDS
truly is unknown, but trauma, shock, transfusions or situations like this can bring it on
explain pathophysiology of ARDS
damage to alveolar and capillary cells, this increases permeability and fluid leaves the cells and goes into interstitial space damaging the alveoli
sx of ARDS
- Dyspnea at rest
- Breathing is fast and labored
- Cyanotic
- Headache
- Impaired mental status
- Restlessness
- Increased anxiety
List the 5 main restrictive lung diseases

C. Ankylosing Spondylitis
D. Pectus Excavatum
nutritional or metabolic reasons for restrictive lung diseases
diabetes, obesity
atrial septal defect is aka
patent foramen ovale
explain atrial septal defect, what has ocurred physiologically
The opening between the right and left atrium remains open after birth .
This creates a right to left shunt- if the valve stays open, bld will be shunted from right to left side. Unoxygenated blood then goes to aorta and out to body
This is the most common congenital issue of the heart
VSD
ASD is usually dx how
bc heart murmur is detected
VSD pathophysiology
This is a defect that results in an opening between the left and right ventricle
blood flows which way with VSD
Blood will flow from the left to the right side of the heart
With VSD, pressure is greater on which side of the heart
(greater pressure on the left side than the right).
With VSD, what is compromised
CO
VSD is also detected by
heart murmur
which defect can result in just, right sided heart failure
ASD
which defect can result in right or left sided heart failure
VSD
When the opening between the pulmonary trunk and the aorta remains open after birth.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
the opening between the pulmonary trunk and aorta is known as
the ductus arteriosus
explain pathophysiology of patent ductus arteriosis
Creates a left to right shunt- blood from aorta goes to pulmonary trunk (in this case, there is a decreased CO bc some blood will go back into pulm trunk)
patent ductus arteriosus can lead to
CHF
what is Coarctation of the Aorta
This occurs due to a fibrous constriction in the descending aorta, bc aorta is constricted, blood will go elsewhere (UE) = decreased CO to lower ext. and dec BP in LE
coarctation of the aorta will present this very clear sx
decreased bp in lower ext and decreased femoral pulse
if not treated, coarctation of the aorta will lead to
left vent hypertrophy, heart failure
list the 4 abnormalities that occur with tetralogy of fallot
both ventricles empty into the aorta
stenosis of the pulmonary artery opening
ventricular septal defect
right ventricular hypertrophy
Why does squatting or bringing knees to the chest acutely decrease cyanosis in tetralogy of fallot
Increases systemic vascular resistance causing increase in pulmonary blood flow
what pathology is this:
there is a large hole in the center of the heart where the septum between the atria is to join the septum between the ventricles, tricuspid and mitral valve may not be separate
endocardial cushion defect
endocardial cushion defect occurs with what disease
downs syndrome
what pathology is this:
Narrowing or constriction that keeps valve from opening
valvular stenosis
what causes hypertrophy with stenosis
the chamber above or prior to the stenoic area has to work harder = hypertrophy
this pathology often occurs with rheumatic fever, infective endocarditis, arthritis, lupus, and is characterized by incomplete closure of a valve causing leakage
Regurgitation or Insufficiency (prolapse)
explain dilated cardiomyopathy
Characterized by ventricular dilation and severely impaired systolic function- think about the length tension curve, we have to have cross bridge overlap to create tension, here the chamber is so large it gets stretched out, so the ability of the heart to have good/normal contraction isn’t great.
bc the ability of the heart to have a normal contraction is compromied with dilated cardiomyopathy, what is the main concern
very poor CO = low O2 to the body
3 main causes of dilated cardiomyopathy
1) Familial tendency
2) Alcoholic
3) Peripartum
where does the “back up” or the congestion occur with dilated cardiomyopathy
pulmonary bc if left vent cant contract there is back up to left atria = back up in pulmonary capillaries
tx for dilated cardiomyopathy includes digitalis glycosides, what does this do
Digitalis glycosides – acts like a SNS effect, for same length of muscle you get more tension, you get pos ionotropic effect
prognosis for dilated cardiomyopathy
not good- death within 5 years
does the chamber size itself change with hypertropic cardiomyopathy
no, just the wall size thickens (or the septum)
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is caused by what 2 things typically
hypertension or valvular heart disease
tx for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Beta-blockers
