Q

key features of ARDS

A
post insult- trauma, sepsis, infection
patchy infiltrate on CXR
hypoxemia unresponsive to oxygen
ventilation/perfusion abnormalities
decreased surfactant --> PEEP ventilation required
hyaline membranes
uniform temporal appearance

18
Q

PEF

A

peak expiratory flow

highest flow measured with peak flow meter

19
Q

emphysema

A

irreversible wall destruction with over inflation

obstructive

20
Q

chronic bronchitis

A

productive cough with airway inflammation

obstructive

21
Q

asthma

A

reversible obstruction
hyperactive airways triggered by allergens, infection, or other
obstructive

22
Q

COPD

A

emphysema + chronic bronchitis

common in smokers

23
Q

centriacinar emphysema

A
big and small alveoli
central with distal sparing
upper lobes and apices
associated with smoking
explained by protease/anti-protease hypothesis
24
Q

pancinar emphysema

A

uniformly enlarged acini
from respiratory bronchiole to terminal alveoli
lower lobes
associated with alpha1-AT deficiency (genetic)

25
Q

gene involved in emphysema

A

NRF2

26
Q

PiMM

A

normal Alpha1-AT enzyme involved with emphysema

27
Q

PiZZ

A

abnormal alpha1-AT enzyme involved with emphysema

28
Q

emphysema is noticed when

A

1/3 of lung parenchyma is damaged

29
Q

symptoms of emphysema

A
dyspnea, cough, wheeze, weight loss
cor pulmonale
respiratory acidosis
pneumothorax
RHF
30
Q

bullous emphysema

A

end stage for centriacinar
large subpleural blebs
rupture can cause pneumothorax

31
Q

chronic bronchitis

A

3 month productive cough with sputum production
goblet cell hyperplasia –> over production of mucos
cigarette smoking
bronchial wall fibrosis

32
Q

simple chronic bronchitis

A

productive cough without obstruction

33
Q

chronic asthmatic bronchitis

A

hyperactive airways with intermittent bronchospasm and wheezing

34
Q

obstructive chronic bronchitis

A

chronic airflow obstruction usually paired with emphysema

35
Q

pathogenesis of chronic bronchitis

A

mucos over production with decreased surfactant production in response to chronic inflammation
can become infected

36
Q

blue bloater

A

chronic bronchitis- hypercapnia, hypoxemia, cyanosis

barrel chested

37
Q

pink puffer

A

emphysema
weight loss, lean forward
breathing through pursed lips

38
Q

biggest intervention for COPD

A

smoking cessation

39
Q

biggest factor of chronic bronchitis

A

smoking

40
Q

bronchiectasis

A

permanent dilation of bronchi/bronchioles due to muscle and elastic tissue destruction from chronic necrotizing infections

41
Q

mucus gland hyperplasia

A

chronic bronchitis

42
Q

airway dilation

A

bronchiectasis

43
Q

alveolar wall destruction

A

emphysema

44
Q

hyaline membranes

A

ARDS
