Asthma
-diagnosis, how to confirm, best way to assess exacerbation
H&P, PE findings
CONFIRM diagnosis is w/ PFT– need to stop bronchodilators before test—will show obstructive pattern– decreased FEV1/FVC
best way to assess exacerbation is peak expiratory flow rate
samters triad
ASA allg
nasal polyps
asthma
atopic triad
eczema
allergic rhinitis
asthma
symptoms <2 times per week, nightitme symptoms 1-2x/month. use of SABA <2days / week
intermittent asthma
symps >2x/week, nightime symptoms 3-4x/month, use of SABA >2 days/week
mild persistent asthma
daily symptoms, nightime symptoms > or eqaul to 5 times per month, daily use of SABA
mod persistnet asthma
continous symptoms with daily night-time awakenings, SABA several times per day
severe persistent asthma
asthma diagnosis: Greater than ____% increase in FEV1 after bronchodilator therapy
12
tx for:
-mild intermittent
SABA PRN
tx mild persistnet asthma
low dose ICS daily and SABA PRN
moderate persistent asthma tx
low-dose ICS + LABA daily
OR if that doesnt work
medium dose ICS + LABA daily
severe persistent asthma tx
high dose ICS + LABA daily
then if that doesnt work
High dose ICS + LABA + PO steroids daily
list the step wise appraoch for asthma tx
- SABA prn
- low dose ICS daily
- low dose ICS + LABA
- medium dose ICS + LABA
- high dose ICS + LABA
- high dose ICS + LABA + PO steroids daily
list short acting beta agonists
albuterol
levalbuterol
define bronchitis
-etiologies
cough >5 days with (MC) or w/o sputum production lasting 2-3 weeks
+/- HA, low grade fever, sore throat
etiologies
MC=viral— adenovirus MC, rhinovirus, RSV, influenza, corona,
bacterial causes= mycoplasma, bordetella pertusis
**if there is HIGH FEVER AND LOTS OF SPUTUM, TACHYCARDIC, TACHYPNIC— consider pnemonia and get CXR
tx=supportive–
COPD
- define
- diagnosis–gold standard
- labs and why
- tx—- WHATS THE ONLY TX TO REDCE MORTALITY
chronic cough that is productive occuring on most days of 3 months of the year for at least 2 or more consecutive yrs w/o defined acute cause
DX
- GS—- PFTs—–> show V/Q mismatch and FEV1/FVC ration less than 0.7
- CXR— only used to r/o pneumonia or pneumothorax… can also be useful in exacerbation
LABS
-incr hgb and hematocrit bc of the chronic hypoxic state
TX
1st step: quit smoking and give pneumococcal vaccine
2. bronchodilators—- anticholinergics, beta ags, corticosteroids
3. OXYGEN IS THE ONLY THERAPY TO REDUCE MORTALITY and quiting smoking
4. alpha 1 anti tyrpsin def— lung transplant only tx
5. azithromycin can be helpful in exacerbations/inflammation
lung cancer screening gudielines
low dose CT in those aged 50-80 with a 20+ pack year hx and currently smoking OR have quit in the last 15 yrs
minimal cough, thin, barrel chest, quiet lungs
emphysema
criteria for home oxygen for COPD pt
- Pa02 55 mm hg
- 02 sat <88% at rest or exercise
- pa02 55-59 + polycythemia or cor pulmonale
- nocturnal hypoxemia—– CPAP
mc type of lung CA
non small cell— 85%
how does small cell lung CA present
recurrent pnma
-anorexia, wt loss, wekeanss, cough
list pe finding for horner syndrome
unilateral facial anhidrosis, ptosis, miosis
