ERV and TV
What is inspiratory capacity?
TV and IRV
what sound is louder during expiration?
wheezing
what sound is heard best with inspiration?
describe reason for sound
crackles/rales; popping alveoli
what sound is low pitched and sounds like snoring?
how to clear

pink puffer explanation
emphysema
pursed lip, non cyanotic. hyperinflation
blue bloater explanation
chronic bronchitis;
obese and cyanotic
hallmark for emphysema
dyspnea, mild cough
3 cardinal symptoms for chr bronchitis
chronic cough, sputum production, and dyspnea.
CXR: flattened diaphragms, increased AP diameter, decreased vascular markings, bullae
emphysema
CXR: pulm HTN, enlarged right heart border, increased AP diameter and vascular markings
chronic bronchitis
ABG in COPD
chronic bronchitis: respiratory acidosis!!
emphysema: poss resp acidosis if severe.
CO2 in COPD
chronic bronchitis: hypercapnia
emphysema: CO2 often nml initially.
hypoxemia in COPD
chronic bronchitis: severe!
emphysema: mild to moderate
signs of cor pulmonale
enlarged tender liver, JVD, peripheral edema. think chronic bronchitis
COPD in pt under 40 yo
think alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
most common kind of emphysema
centrilobar (proximal acinar)/ smoking
mucous gland hyperplasia, goblet cell mucus production, dysfunctional cilia, and infiltration of neutrophils and CD8 cells
chronic bronchitis
oxygen therapy for which copd pts
paO2 <55 or air saturation <88%, or cor pulmonale
antibiotics for chronic brochitis
macrolides, cephalosporins, augmentin, FQ
what is tiotropium?
bronchodilator; LAMA, long acting, anticholinergic(antimuscarinic)
anticholinergic SE:
dry mouth, thirst, blurred vision, urinary retention, diff swallowing
