Q

What are the stages of smoking cessation

A

Pre-contemplative – not ready, unaware of need to change, do not intend to change in 6m

Q

List 2 CXR and 2 PFT changes of radiation pneumonitis?

A

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.
