Lung 1 Flashcards
obstructive atalectasis
blockage prevents new air from coming in
old air resorbed
lung shrinks
compressive atalectasis
pleural fluid pushes part of lung in
contraction atalectasis
lung shrinks all over due to scaring/fibrosis
gross and histo appearance of pulmonary edema
gross- wet, heavy, frothy fluid
histo- eosinophilic proteinaceous fluid
acute respiratory distress syndrome- ARDS
severe ALI- progressive respiratory insufficiency caused by diffuse alveolar damage due to sepsis, trauma, or infection
damaged endothelium with inflammation (not as much as pneumonia)
where does pulmonary edema happen
base of lower lobe
acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP)
pathologic changes consistent with ARDS/DAD but with unknown cause
average age: 50
high mortality rate
acute lung injury
sudden decrease in oxygen and widespread pulmonary infiltrates without heart failure
diffuse alveolar damage (DAD)
histo finding for ARDS
4 major causes of ARDS
sepsis
diffuse pulmonary infections
gastric aspiration
mechanical trauma
key features of ARDS
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
obstructive disease
decreased FEV1
look at flow rate
restrictive disease
decreased FVC and TLC
look at volume
examples of obstructive disease
chronic bronchitis
emphysema
asthma
bronchiectasis
examples of restrictive disease
ARDS
chest wall disorders- polio, obesity
FVC
forced vital capacity
determined by max expiratory effort
FEV1
forced expiratory volume in 1 second
