Q

Effect of allergen immunotherapy for asthma

18
Q

Which segment is frequently affected by bronchial atresia

A

left upper lobe

19
Q

DDx for Perihilar tubular lesion and hyperinflation

A

Congenital lobar emphysema
AVM
intralobar pulm sequestration
Bronchogenic cyst
mucoid impaction

20
Q

Imaging findings for AVM

A

tubular lesion that enhances with contrast
No bronchial obs, hyperluciency or hyperinflation

21
Q

Gene that determines azithromycin resistance in M. abscessus complex?

A

erm(41) gene

22
Q

rpoB gene mutation can lead to what resistance?

A

rifampin

23
Q

rrs gene mutation leads to which resistance

A

Aminoglycosides

Only in those w/ lots of exposure to amikacin or other AG

24
Q

embB leads to what kind of drug resistance in M abscessus?

A

ethambutol

25
Q

Effect of flu vaccine for pts with COPD?

A

reduces # exac and flu hospitalization frequency

26
Q

Goal VO2 max for lobectomy?

A

VO2>20

27
Q

When to prescribe O2 for flying?

A
  • resting SpO2 <92% –>2L
  • SpO2 <84% 6MWT –> get HAST or empiric 2L
  • If <4L O2 baseline then increase 1-2L for flight
  • If on >4L at rest at baseline then dont fly
28
Q

When to get 6MWT prior to a pt flying if suspicious for hypoxia?

A

if SpO2 >95% RA and a mMRC 3 or greater

29
Q

What can cause the PRISm pattern on PFTs

A
  1. Air trapping w or w/o hyperinflation (pseudoresriction)
  2. simple restriction (FVC<LLN)
  3. Nonspecific pattern
  4. complex restriction
30
Q

What are the associated issues with PRISm?

A

increased risk resp symptoms
reduced exercise tolerance
respiratory related hospitalizations
increased mortality

31
Q

What is a nonspecific pattern on PFTs?

A

VC<80%, TLC nl
can be airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic lung dz, obesity , Neuromsk impairment, chest wall restriction, poor testing

32
Q

Initial inhaler for pts with COPD?

A

LAMA/LABA

33
Q

Best treatment for pt with CF and F508del mutation

A

elexacaftor plus tezacaftor plus ivacaftor

34
Q

Placental transmogrification of the lung treatment

A

bronchodilators, ICS, smoking cessation and vaccines.

If that fails then bullectomy

35
Q

Congenital causes of unilateral cystic or bullous lesions

A
  • bronchogenic cysts
  • Congenital lobar emphysema
  • placental transmogrification of the lung
  • Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (reduced pulmonary vasculature and alveolar hyperdistention +/- bronchiectasis)
36
Q

CT scan findings of RML and lingular bronchectais in older pt w/o history of pulmonary disease

A

nontuberculous mycobacteria

37
Q

how long can people continue to benefit from long term maintenance PR?

A

24 months

38
Q

CT findings of bronchopulmonary sequestration

A

focal areas of lucency or irregular cystic spaces w or w/o fluid

CT angio can identify the arterial blood supply

39
Q

Most common form of bronchopulmonary sequestration

A

Intralobar sequestrations
Located in posterior basal segment of lower lobe 60%

Presentation: recurrent pneumonia

40
Q

What is the prevalence of undiagnosed COPD in pts >40yo with >10pkyrhx

A

70-78%

41
Q

Effect of deesclation of triple inhaler therapy to LAMA/LABA in non-frequent exac pts with FEV1 40-80% and no asthma

A

Reduction in lung function

No increased AECOPD and no change in QoL or mortality

42
Q

When to continue patient on triple inhaler therapy despite being GOLD B?

A

Blood eos >300
- higher risk of AECOPD
- Greater lung function loss off of ICS

43
Q

When to NOT use ICS in COPD?

A

Recurrent PNA
Eos <100
hx mycobacterial infection

44
Q

Prior to starting augmentation therapy for AAT def what lab?

A

IgA
