lungs Flashcards
toxic gases, organic dusts, inorganic dusts
pulmonary fibrosis
rheumatologic diseaase
pulmonary fibrosis
chronic inflammation, alveolar epithelialization, mylofibroblast proliferation
pulmonary fibrosis
MC idiopathic lung disorder, men over 60, survive 2-4yrs
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
PE diffuse inspiratory crackles
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary edema, vial pneumonia
damage airway epithelium, cilia, alveoli
toxic gases
burning of eyes, nose, throat
toxic gases
inhaled inorganic dust particles
pneumoniciosis
MC silicosis, asbestosis, coal worker/black lung
Pneumoconiosis
Pneumoconiosis cough
productive
proinflammatory cytokines released, inflammation, scarring of alveolocapillary membrane, and pulmonary fibrosis
Pneumoconiosis
organic dust particles
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis/ extrinsic allergic alveolitis
type 3 hypersens, IgG, granuloma
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis/ extrinsic allergic alveolitis
Granulomatous disorders
CT disorders
Goodpasture’s syndrome
Systemic disorders affecting airways, lungs, and lung parenchyma
Excess water in the lungs from capillary hydrostatic pressure (from heart failure), oncotic pressure, and permeability (from injury) so pts have dyspnea, orthopnea, hypoxemia, and inc work of breathing
Pulmonary edema
MCC is left sided heart disease
Pulmonary edema
PE- inspiratory crackles, dullness to percussion at lung bases, and ventricular dilation (S3 gallop)
Pulmonary edema
MC predisposing factors- genetics, sepsis, and multiple traumas
Acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
exudative phase, proliferative phase, then fibrotic phase
Acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
predisposing factors: heart disease, ARDS, inhalation of toxic gases
pulmonary edema
rare but life threatening complication that can occur after relief of upper airway obstruction
postobstructive pulmonary edema; neg press pulmonary edema
dyspnea, wheezing, low VQ, dec FEV1
Obstructive pulmonary disease
Mucous plug
asthma, bronchiectasis, COPD
IRREVERSIBLE if left untreated
asthma
bronchospasm is not reversible by usual trmt
Status asthmaticus-
3rd leading cause of death in the US
COPD
6th leading cause of death in the world
COPD
Risk factors: tobacco, dust and chemicals, indoor air pollution, anything that affects lung growth during gestation and childhood
COPD
Mucous plugs narrow airways so air trapping and hyperinflation occur
copd
chronic bronchitis type of cough
productive
polycythemia
chronic bronchitis
Gas exchange airways are permanently enlarged and alveolar walls are destroyed WITHOUT fibrosis so we lose elastic recoil
Emphysema
Barrel chest & pts lean forward to increase lung capacity
emphysema
MCC smoking emphysema
sec
centriacinar, panacinar
emphysema
Elastin breakdown, imbalance of protease and antiprotease, oxidative stress, apoptosis of lungs structural cells
emphysema
MCC short term disability in the US
Respiratory tract infections
6th leading cause of death in the US
pneumonia
Different microorganisms causes this pneumonia
CAP
Seasonal, mild, self limiting infection of LRT
Viral pneumonia
Viral pneumonia type of cough
productive
PE= crackles, inc tactile fremitus (vibratory tremors on chest palpation), egophony (inc voice resonance on auscultation)
Viral pneumonia
