Fouty- Pathophys of restrictive disease Flashcards
takes work to breathe; that work has to overcome what 2 things
elastic recoil of resp. system
airflow resistance
these 2 things are held at equilibrium at FRC (equal and opposite pressures)
lung and chest wall
pleural pressure at FRC
-4, -5 cmH2O
increased pressure to overcome airflow resistance (why they come in w/ dyspnea bc working harder to breath)
obstructive physiology
increased pressure to overcome elastic recoil of entire system (comes into play with people with dyspnea)
restrictive physiology
measure of lung stiffness
compliance
lower at high volumes and higher at low volumes
compliance
Takes more pressure to get same tidal volume
restrictive physiology
takes less pressure to get same tidal volume due to high compliance in this physiology
obstructive
_____indirectly contributes to lung inflation by creating the necessary pressure gradient for transpulmonary pressure to function and keep lungs inflated
pleural pressure
if the lung gets less stiff, ____ increases
FRC
if the lung gets more stiff, ____ decreases
FRC
defined as TLC<LLN (reduced lung volumes)
restrictive disease
increase in lung ______ leads to restrictive disease
elastic recoil
3 ways to increase lung elastic recoil (stiffness)
increase in tissue content
increase in lung water
increase in surface tension
this is due to increase in tissue content
interstitial lung disease
due to increase in lung water
CHF (congestive heart failure)
ARDS (acute resp. distress syndrome)
due to increase in surface tension
RDS (resp. distress syndrome)
ARDS
congestive heart failure (increased lung water)
