- total cumlitative dose
- renal failure
- age >40
- cigarette smoking

List 3 pharmacologic agents of smoking cessation
Varenicline
Bupropion
Nortriptyline
Nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, inhaler)
List 2 major contraindications to nicotine replacement therapy
Recent MI < 2 weeks
Recent stroke
List 2 contraindications of Bupropion and 2 side effects
CI: Seizure disorder, ETOH withdrawal, bulemia/anorexia, linezolid/MOA inhibitors, hepatic impairment
Side effects: lowers seizure threshold, insomnia, dry mouth, tremor
What are the stages of smoking cessation
Pre-contemplative – not ready, unaware of need to change, do not intend to change in 6m
Contemplative – ready to quit in 6m
Preparation – ready to quit in 30d, have taken steps
Action – quit in last 6m
Maintenance – quit > 6m
List 2 CXR and 2 PFT changes of radiation pneumonitis?
2 CXR Findings:
- can be normal
- Perivascular haziness -> patchy alveolar filling densities.
- straight-line effect, which does not conform to anatomical 🡪 diagnostic of RILI.
2 PFT Findings:
Reduction in lung volumes (TLC, FVC, RV).
Tidal volumes decreased, and the respiratory rate may be elevated.
DLCO reduced.
