p1 Flashcards
preop management of COPD?
smoking cessation(4-6) wk prior to surgery decreases post-op pulmonary complications(pneumonia and RF) significantly even if small cigarette consumption.
Long-term oxygen therapy in COPD?
Given if resting O2 saturation <88%
have mortality benefit
what about preop corticosteroid, methylxanthine, and antibiotic?
No benefit
future and approach of a patient with RLD?
Decreased VC Normal or increased FEV1/FVC ratio First, do DLCO If normal--CW abnormality and RM weakness if decreased --ILD
Cause for CW abnormality and RM weakness?
CW abnormality Obesity hypoventilation syndrome Scoliosis RM weakness Myasthenia gravis ALS Polio Gulian barre syndrome
ILD future?
Progressive dry cough, fatigue, and dyspnea
Crackles, clubbing
Imaging shows peripheral reticular opacities with traction bronchiectasis +/– “honeycomb” appearance of the lung (advanced disease).
Histologic pattern: usual interstitial pneumonia.
cause of ILD?
Dust
Drug
Radiation
Systemic CTD
Dust?
Asbestos
Beryllium
Silicon
Coal worker pneumoconiosis
Drug?
Amiodarone Bleomycin Nitrofurantoin Methotrexate Busulfan
Systemic CTD?
RA
Scleroderma
Sjögrens syndrome
Pathophysiology of ILD?
May involve multiple cycles of lung injury-
inflammation, and fibrosis.
Fibrosis affects the airway, alveoli, and interstitium
Pulmonary HTN symptom?
Progressive dyspnea, fatigue, and weakness
Exertional angina and syncope due to Dec RVO
Abdominal pain and distension
Physical examination?
left the parasternal lift and RV heave
Loud P2 and right side s3
pansystolic murmur due to TR
RSHF sign
Classification?
primary PHTN
due to LSHF
due to chronic lung disease(ILD
Normal FVC and FVC1/FVC ratio?
FVC:80-120%
FVC1/FVC ratio–>80%
In COPD ratio usualy <70
GERD and asthma?
GERD–microaspiration–bronchial hyperactivity and increase vagal tone.
Asma exacerbation during the night and after a meal
Treat with PPI
Normal pH range?
7.35 to 7.45
Normal values for PaCO2?
are usually 35-45 mmHg.
Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)?
75 to 100 millimeters
PE and (A-a) oxygen gradient?
increase due to VQ mismatch
(A-a) oxygen gradient?
- 2.5 + 0.21xage
- Patient age/4 + 4
- Between 5–14 inage < 40
How to calculate PA02?
150-PaCO2/0.8
Exercise-induced asthma pathophysiology?
High volume gas and cold air entery—mast cell degranulation–bronchospasm
Management?
Beta agonist-10-15 min prior exercise(first line), should be used in whom require less than daily
Antilukatrine agent 15-20 min before exercise–second line, not tolerate beta-blocker
Both can be used together in the case of high performing athletes
Antiukatrine and steroid for patient daily exercise practice
trigger of anaphylaxis?
FOOD
DRUG
INSECT STING
CM?
hypotension, tachycardia, and tissue edema
strider,horsnesnes and bronchospasm
Urticarial rash, pruritis, and flushing
nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain
management?
intramuscular epinephrine airway management and resuscitation adjuvant therapy(antihistamin and glucocorticoid)
How to differentiate asthma fromCOPD?
spirometry plus bronchodilator therapy
asthma –reversible
COPD –not reversible/partially reversible
Old patient with lower lobe infiltration?
CAP due to S.pnumonia
If cavity–Lung abscess due to anaerobes(associated foul-smelling sputum, dysphagia and common in alcoholic)
Assist-Control (AC) mode?
Most common methods of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit
AC ventilation is a volume-cycled mode of ventilation.
It works by setting a fixed Tidal Volume (VT) that the ventilator will deliver at set intervals of time or when the patient initiates a breath.
How much TV should be adjusted?
6ml/kg
Bird fancier lung and farmer’s lung?
Type of Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to exposure of bird dropping and mold respectively.
clinical manifestation?
cough, fever, malaise, and breathlessness after 4-6 hr of antigen exposure.
If chronic–restrictive lung disease
CXR?
Ground-glass opacity/heaviness on CXR.
pathophysiology?
chronic inflammation–lung fibrosis
