Fouty: pathophys of chronic bronchitis and emphysema Flashcards
chronic bronchitis + emphysema
COPD
at the end of normal expiration (most effort independent out of all PFTs)
functional residual capacity (FRC)
when you blow up a balloon, what is the pressure needing to overcome
elastic recoil
when the lung is not present, what does the chest wall do
springs outwards
___ and ___ are held at equilibrium at FRC
the lung and chest wall
at ____ volume, still some air in lungs requiring some pressure to keep it there
residual volume
what sets the residual volume
characteristics of chest wall (can’t go lower than a certain point)
when the springs are equal tension on both sides
FRC
Inward recoil of the lung=outward recoil of chest wall
FRC
takes____ to move respiratory system away from functional residual capacity
work
work being done to inflate the lungs is required to overcome what 2 things
elastic recoil of lungs and chest wall and airflow resistance
low at high volumes
higher at low volumes
resistive work (airflow resistance)
high at higher volumes (takes more work to keep lungs expanded)
low at lower lung volumes
elastic work
spot of least resistance when breathing
RR of 12-18
volume of 400 mL
pressure of elastic recoil of chest wall and lungs + pressure to overcome resistance to airflow
total pressure (work of breathing)
lung is less stiff and easier to distend (high compliance)—lost its elastic recoil; takes very little pressure to move air in
emphysema
lung is much stiffer, (harder to put air in)—takes more work to distend lung
fibrosis
neonate with no surfactant has to generate what to try and distend lung
generate a lot of negative pressure
is based on the compliance of the chest wall and the lung (effort independent)
FRC
FRC goes down
restrictive disease
FRC goes up
obstructive disease
Provides a reservoir of air in the lung during breathing
FRC
Increases The Resistance To Airflow And Thus Increases The Work Required To Overcome Airway Resistance
obstructive disease
airway resistance is greatest in what airways
large (like river opening up into delta (small airways–more of them)
anything that’s being carried such as tobacco smoke in the lungs gets deposited in the area around the _____
terminal bronchioles
centrilobar/centriacinar emphysema means..
where the respiratory bronchioles transition off the terminal bronchioles
airflow obstruction (<LLN)
increases Lung Volumes And Impairs Airflow
emphysema
flattening of _____ decreases ability to generate pressure
diaphragm
Pressure you can generate is _____ related to radius
inversely (smaller radius, can generate more pressure)
