LA pulm 2 Flashcards
asthma, influenza, pneumonia, TB
Samter’s triad
(aspirin exacerbated resp ds): asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, sensitivity to aspirin/or NSAIDs
3 component of asthma
bronchoconstriction, airway hyper-reactivity, inflammation
atopic triad
pts with condition are likely to develop one or 2 of the other: asthma, atopic dermatitis(eczema), and allergic rhinitis
extrinsic asthma trigger is Ig___
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
PE with asthma
prolong expiration with wheezing, hyperresonance to percussion, decreased breath sounds, tachycardia/tachypnea
classic asthma triad s/s
dyspnea, wheezing, and cough especially at night
severe asthma and status asthmaticus
inability to speak full sentences, tripod, SILENT chest, altered mental status
bronchoprovocation to test asthma
methacholine challenge >20% decrease on FEV1 followed by bronchodilator challenge (increase of FEV1 >12%) expected
best and most objective way to assess exacerabation severity and pat response to treatment
peak expiratory flow rate, discharge if PEFR>70% or PERF>15% initial attempt
ABG in asthma
usually not ordered. repiratory alkalosis expected from tachypnea.
FEV1 in 4 levels of asthma
over 80% in intermittent and mild
60-80% in moderate
under 60% in severe
ratio if 4 levels of asthma
nml in intermittent and mild
5% reduction in moderate
>5% in severe
tx for intermittent asthma
inhaled SABA as needed
tx for mild asthma
inhaled corticosteroid plus inhaled SABA as needed
tx for moderate asthma
low dose ICS plus LABA or
(increase ICS to medium dose or leukotrine modifier)
tx for severe asthma
high dose ICS plus LABA
