Q

Tx (Asthma):

Last lines

A 
Anti-IgE
Immunotherapy
Inhaled mast cell stimulators
     cromolyn - poor efficacy
Phosphodiesterase inhibitor

16
Q

Signs/Sxs:
Chronic bronchitis =
Emphysema =

A

= “Blue bloater”, chronic cough (smoker’s), purulent sputum, inc pulm infx, wheeze
= “Pink puffer”, DOE, ? cough, scant/clear sputum
hemoptysis, cyanosis, edema, crackles

17
Q

PE Findings (COPD):
Early =
Late =

A

= prolonged exp, wheeze on forced exp

= inc AP chest, dec tactile fremitus, hyper-resonance, dec BS

18
Q

Main Dx strategy (COPD)

A

Spirometry

FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.7 (doesn’t respond to tx)

19
Q

Other Dx (COPD)

A

CXR - RVH, CM

CT - Shows hyperinflation & parenchymal BULLAE & BLEBS

20
Q

COPD staging

A

Stage 1 - 4

Mild, mod, severe, very severe

21
Q

Stage 1 (mild COPD)

A

Chronic cough & sputum; some SOB

FEV1 > 80%

22
Q

Stage 2 (mod COPD)

A

Chronic cough & sputum; SOB may limit exertion

FEV1 50-80%

23
Q

Stage 3 (severe COPD)

A

Progressive airway limitation; signs / sxs worse c freq exacerbations
FEV1 30-50%

24
Q

Stage 4 (very severe COPD)

A

Hypercapnea, hypoxia c severe recurrent exacerbations req home O2; affect QOL
FEV1 < 30% or < 50% c chronic resp fail

25
Q

Tx COPD

A

Education: smoking cessation
Vaccines: Pneumo & Flu
Pulm rehab
Meds

26
Q

Mainstay med tx (COPD)

A

Bronchodilators

1) Short-acting inhaled rescue: combo SABA + Anticholinergic (combivent = albut + ipratrop)
2) Long-acting inhaled maint: Anticholinergics (tiotropium/spiriva) or LABA (salmeterol) + ICS

27
Q

Special Tx reserved for Stage 3 & 4

A

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)

??? Theophylline (older, inc toxicity profile)

New: Roflumilast

28
Q

Autosomal recessive, Caucasian
Chloride transport dysfxn
Multisystem - most exocrine glands produce abnml thick mucus secretions that obstructs glands/ ducts

A

Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

29
Q

Sinopulmonary manifestations (CF)

A 
Sinusitis
Nasal polyposis
Mult recurring lung infx become chronic (Bronchitis, PNA, Bronchiectasis)
? Pseudomonas
Wheezing, chronic cough
30
Q

Extrapulmonary manifestations (CF)

A 
MECONIUM ILEUS
Pancreatitis / insufficiency
Steatorrhea - fatty stools
Infertility (M > F); bilat absence vas deferens
FTT, bone issues
Clubbing
Anemia, hypernatremia, hypoproteinemia
31
Q

Dx (CF)

A

Eval: Newborn screening (many false +)
Screening: Sweat test (> 90% sens); nml doesn’t r/o CF
Confirmation: CFTR mutation analysis for nml or borderline sweat test

32
Q

Tx (CF)

A

Multidisciplinary
Clear/reduce secretions, chest PT, tx infxn
Nutrition, pancreatic enzyme replacement
Genetic counseling…
