Q

Emphysema

A

Loss of elastic recoil so you can’t get all the air out of lungs
Can have some airway obstruction

Pressure builds up in alveoli and its walls become damaged

Q

Obstructive disease : equal pressure point

A

Point in airway anatomy where outside compressive pressure equals inside elastic pressure

  • should occur in larger airways with cartilaginous rings

W obstructive disease, there’s loss of pressure moving air through obstruction moves the equal pressure point distally so when they cough, its less effective

25
Medical management of Bronchiectasis
Antibiotics, airway clearance, surgical removal of nonfunctioning tissue
26
What is described as inflammation of bronchial walls without an increase or change in bronchial wall diameter?
Bronchitis - no change in wall diameter, the inflammation narrows the airways
27
What happens to the walls in Bronchiectasis
The walls are dilated and eventually destroyed
28
Is co2 acid or base
ACID (volatile acid)
29
Normal mechanism of ventilation drive
Negative feedback loop between pH and CSF and ventilation
30
Response of ventilation to decreased pH
Ventilation increases and if chronic, kidneys respond to eliminate fixed acid
31
Ventilation response to increased pH
Ventilation is slowed - CO2 accumulates - pH is normalized - if chronic, kidneys and buffering systems respond
32
Effect of CO2 on the brain
- high CO2 will depress cerebral function *giddy to somnolent to unconscious to DEAD
33
How much O2 does normal air have? How about FIO2?
Normal air has 21% oxygen FIO2 = .21
34
How is FIO2 increased?
Increasing flow rate or % O2
35
Higher ventilation = ______ PO2 and ____ PCO2 Is this good or bad
Higher PO2 Lower PCO2 This is good :)
36
High ventilation has ____ PO2 and _____ PCO2
Low PO2 High pco2
37
Atmosphere has ___ PO2 and ____ PCO2
High PO2 Low PCO2
38
High ventilation makes alveoli like atmosphere or venous blood? Hb low ventilation?
High - atmosphere - freshhhh Low - venous blood - stale
39
what is the primary determinant of oxygenation of the blood ?
V/Q Vq ratio
40
Increasing V/Q does what it PaO2 and PaCO2
Increases PaO2 and lowers PaCO2
41
Decreasing V/Q does what to PaO2 and PaCO2
Decreases PaO2 and increases PaCO2
42
What’s the optimal V/Q
.8
43
What is carried w ventilation? What is carried with perfusion? And to where?
Ventilation - O2 into alveoli Perfusion - O2 away from alveoli to be used by the body
44
Low V/Q analogy
bus leaves half empty - hypoxic hypoxia * low ventilation results in low PaO2 and unloaded Hb leaving capillaries
45
High V/Q analogy
One bus and 1000 ppl wanting to board *high ventilation causes PO2 to rise and PCO2 to fall
46
V/Q at resting conditions slow ventilation and slow pulmonary blood flow unit
Slow ventilation 4L/min Slow pulmonary blood flow 5L/min
47
V/Q during exercise
Pulmonary blood flow increase 4-5x resting blood flow
48
Too much V/Q - why is it bad
Waisting energy on breathing - wasted ventilation so there’s less O2 for the rest of the body and arterial CO2 falls and respiratory alkalosis can occur
49
Slower blood flow ___ PaO2
Increases
50
If cardiac output is low and V/Q is normal what happens to PaO2 and what type of hypoxia is it?
May have high PaO2 and would result at a tissue level of ISCHEMIC HYPOXIA and cellular injury
51
If cardiac output is normal and V/Q is low, what happens to PaO2 and what type of hypoxia is it
PaO2 becomes low and results in hypoxic hypoxia
52
What do pulmonary functional tests look at?
TV , IRV, ERV, VC, some wash out helium or nitrogen
53
Gas Flow Rate
Looks at the volume of flow to see if there’s early airway closure or collapse as is typical with COPD (decreased flow rate)
54
Flow volume loop interpretation
Low volume - restrictive disease Peaked slope = restrictive Scooped out = obstructive
55
DLCO - diffusion capacity of lung
Ability of lungs to transfer gas from inhaled air to the RBC in the pulmonary capilalries
56
Factors that decrease diffusion
Anemia Increased diffusion distance Decreased exchange area Poor perfusion
57
Norm for FEV1/FVC
>.8 or 80%
58
Restrictive lung disease definition
Difficulty breathing O2 in due to decreased lung compliance or impaired ability of thorax to expand
59
Main characteristics of RDL
Decreased pulmonary compliance Increased work of breathing On PFT all lung volumes and capacities are decreased
60
What type of cancer is leading cause of death in US
Lung cancer :(
61
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Inflammatory process of alveolar wall - patchy focal infiltrates thought the lung, may become fibrotic or scarred
62
Pulmonary Fibrosis
- ABGs: pO2 decreased/ pCO2 normal - decreased breath sounds - cor pulmonary, clubbing, cyanosis - nonproductive cough - weight loss
63
Tx for pulmonary fibrosis
Corticosteroids only in inflammatory stage, O2, nutrition, pulmonary rehab
64
Pneumonia is inflammation of
Parenchyma
65
Signs and symptoms of Pneumonia
Crackles over consolidation Infiltrate on CXR Hyporesonance on percussion SOB Tachypnea
66
Pressure change of obstructive vs restrictive
Obstructive: greater pressure change REQUIRED Restrictive: greater EFFORT to achieve pressure change
67
Obstructive vs restrictive lung volumes
Obstructive: increased FRC Restrictive: all volumes decreased
68
Causes of Obstructive vs Restrictive
Obstructive: physical obstruction, lack of elastic recoil Restrictive: stiffness, weakness, edema
69
Restrictive Disease Viscous Cycle
Disease —> dyspnea —> poor posture & chest wall mobility —> disuse —> disease
70
Upper Respiratory Infection
Cold, influenza * can lead to LRI
71
Lower Respiratory Infection
Pneumonia - inflammation and consolidation of lung tissue Abscesses Bronchitis/Bronchioltis
72
Pneumonia
Bacterial divided into lobar and bronchopneumonia
73
Atypical Pneumonia
Caused by micro plasma, viruses, chlamydia
74
Walking Pneumonia
Infection by mycoplasma pneumonia - watery sputum and substernal burning with coughing - pt does not feel ill and can function to a large degree - requires antibiotics that does not act on cell walls as mycoplasma do not have cell walls
75
Viral Pneumonia
Fever, headache, muscle ache, dry cough, dry hacking, no sputum
76
Lobar Pneumonia
When pneumonia is limited to a lobe or segment of the lung * lower lobe mostly affected DUH
77
Bronchopneumonia
Widespread inflammation of distal airways
78
Lung Abscesses
Aspiration of infected material due to dysphagia
79
Epiglottitis
Life threatening infection of young children *vaccine now so its less common
80
Croup
Upper airway infection that blocks breathing and has a barking cough - inspirations strider, cough
81
Respiratory Synctial Virus RSV
Cause of Viral pneumonia in children under 2 - passed due to lack of handwashing
82
Walking speeds for ADLs and crossing street and such
Look in the last lecture idk but pretty fast ig
