40
What is happening with the CO2 during hyperventilation and hypoventilation

44
Restrictive lung diseases are characterized by ?
a reduced lung volume, making it difficult for the lungs to fully expand and fill with air.
45
What is the mechanism in Restrictive lung disease?
Lungs become stiff or are unable to expand properly due to scarring, inflammation, or stiffness of the lung tissue.
45
Obstructive lung diseases are characterized by ?
Difficulty exhaling air out of the lungs due to narrowed or blocked airways.
46
What is the difference in airflow between Obstructive and Restrictive lung conditions?
Restrictive lung diseases, the main issue is reduced lung expansion and decreased total lung capacity Obstructive lung diseases, the primary problem is difficulty exhaling due to narrowed or obstructed airways
47
What is the difference in Causes between Obstructive and Restrictive lung conditions?
Restrictive lung diseases are often due to conditions affecting lung tissue or the chest wall Obstructive lung diseases typically involve inflammation and narrowing of the airways.

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
67
Blue Bloaters associated with? Look like? and what is happening with O2?
Chronic bronchitis Cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to inadequate oxygenation of the blood.
68
Why is Bloaters used?
"Bloaters" refers to the physical appearance of these patients, often due to chronic bronchitis causing excess mucus production and air trapping, leading to a chronic cough and wheezing
69
Pink Puffers is commonly associated with ?
Emphysema
70
What is emphysema?
Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that damages the air sacs in your lungs and makes it hard to breathe.
71
"Pink" refers to the appearance of?
Emphysea Patients Because they have a more normal or pinkish skin coloration compared to blue bloaters.
72
Why is Puffers used?
Puffers" refers to the pursed-lip breathing often seen in these patients which helps maintain positive pressure in the airways and prevents airway collapse.
73
What is the main differnce between Blue and Pink peps?
Blue bloaters chronic bronchitis and have more severe hypoxemia and cyanosis (chronic airway inflammation and mucus production.) Pink puffers Emphysema and typically have better preserved oxygen levels at rest but more severe exertional dyspnea
74
How is COPD Clinically defined?
Cough on most days for 3 consecutive months in 2 successive years
75
What are the 2 types of COPD?
Centrilobular Panacinar
76
Centrilobular (centriacinar): ? is associated with what locations
Primarily the upper lobes Occurs with loss of the respiratory bronchioles in the proximal portion of the acinus, with sparing of distal alveoli.
77
Panacinar emphysema is characterized by
Permanent destruction of the airspaces (alveoli) distal to the respiratory bronchioles.
78
Increase FRC and TLC (Hyperinflation) is associated with what Lung disease?
Obstructive
79
Air trapping is involved with what type of lung disease?
Obstructive
80
