What is the pathology of pulmonary fibrosis
Progressive lung scarring = T1 resp fail
What type of resp fail is pulmonary fibrosis
T1 (Fibrosis so improper filling)
How is Pulmonary fibrosis Investigated
Spirometry = Restriction
FEV1/FVC >0.7 w/
High Resolution CT = Ground glass lungs and traction bronchiectasia
How would you describe the image of Pulmonary fibrosis on a chest CT
Ground glass
Traction Bronchiectasia
How would you manage Pulmonary Fibrosis
Smoking cessation and Vaccine
Pirfenidone / Nintendinir
Lung transplant
What medication can be given for pulmonary fibrosis
Pirfenidone / Nintendinir
What is Pneumoconiosis
Occupational ILD
What are the two causatives of Pneumoconiosis
Silicosis
Abestosis
How can silicosis cause pneumoconiosis
Inhale silicon dioxide = eggshell calcification @ hilar lymph nodes
