L22- Restrictive Lung Disease Flashcards
What 2 defects in restrictivr lead yo hypoxia in the end
Restriction of lung compliance ie elasticity and chest wall movement
Or
Impaired gas rxchnage tossue eg oedema filling or fiborsis to thicken it
Altered lung parenchyma is 1 cause of restticitvie disease. What is the parenchyma
Functional lung tissue eg for diffsuion, perfusion and ventilatiom
Eg alveoli, ducts and resp bronchioles
Give examples of sltered parenchyma
Fibrotic scarring increasing thickeneds
Honeycomb destroyed tissues reducing amount of cells for excusnhe
Fibrotic deposits clotting the blood capillaries
Oedema causing collapse and also reduced diffusion of gases
Disease of what fluid filled cavity can cuase restricififr disease and givr rxamples
Pleura
Eg pneumothorax when it fills with air
Haemothorax filling with blood
Empysema pus filled
How does pleura in heslthy krep lungs inflated allowing incressed capacity
Holds a nefstivr pressure below atmospheric
If it gets dilled what happens
Causes restrircuon in lung,collapsing, dysponea, cyanosis when hypxoia occurs
Which article dusccuses the pleura
Choi 2014
What did choi 2014 aay happens in pneumothroax
Air from slveoli floods into the pleura causinf incrrased pressure and tehrefore less inflated lungs
By what % does fvc decrease in pneumothorax meaning it’s restrictive
33%
Whats the difference between fluid filled pleura and air filled on xray
Fluid causes increased consolidation
Give 2 examples of chest wall abnormalities causing restrictive disease
Rib fracture, reduces lung ability to expand
Scoliosis too
What does nueormuscular disease causing restriction mean
Either the muscles are weajnfor resp or the nerves whcih control them cussing restriction
What is an exampke of this and give the article
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Stehling et al 2015
Which muscles are weakened in this (stehling£
Expiratort
What does this lead to redcued
Reduced pef and cough peak flow. This means refuced fvc, fev1, increased infrctions due to lack of coughing and impaired resp failure
What 3 things lead to restricted gas exchnahe in these fiseases
Ability to expand lost eg neuormusc disease
Gas exchnage surfece loss ie crll loss
Reduced gas exchnage efficiency eg oedema ot fibrotic depoditd
What can cause abnormal v/q in restrictive diseases
If there is damage to both epithelium and vasculature eg fibrosis reduces capillaries
What is stiff lung due to causing lsck of compliance
Loss of parenchyma= damage elasticity, fiborsis increase, increased interstitail fluid
Where is interstitium gas exchange surfsce
Between capillaru endothelium and the alveolar basemment membrane
What is reduced in rds in infants
Surfsctant causing alveolar collapse
