Pulm Flashcards
cavity (with thick wall)
emphysema
25 y/o with bronchiectasis must be worked up for what disease?
CF
most cases present early childhood/neonatal, but some can present later in life
55 y/o F presents w/ pleuritic chest pain which she describes as sharp, intermittent, and positional. Shortness of breath with exertion
bronchoscopy 3 days ago
faint wheeze in left lung; distant sounds in left apex
likely diagnosis?
Pneumothorax (iatrogenic)
ABPA
allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Acute phase of DAD is marked by what steps?
death of type I cells, no protection –> influx of neutrophils, cytokines, fluid –> inflammation and edema
formation of hyaline membrane from necrotic cells and fibrin
cell death
Aerosilized dornase-alpha (recomibinant human DNase) is used to treat what?
Cystic fibrosis
alpha 1- antitrypsin deficiency
panacinar emphysema
bronchiectasis
very high serum IgE levels
eosinophilia in blood
= ?
ABPA
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia
aka: neonatal chronic lung disease
results from effects of oxygen and mechanical ventilation in newborns with RDS
infants with birth weight <1250 grams = 97% of cases
Cause of ARDS
infections resulting in sepsis
trauma, surgery, drugs, etc.
Causes of exudative effusion
abnormality/injury to pleura increased hydraulic conductance or decreased osmotic pressure connective tissue diseases pulmonary embolism tuberculosis malignancy parapneumonic effusion or empyema
causes of pulmonary edema
hemodynamic- CHF
alveolar injury
idiopathic- high altitude sickness
Causes of transudative effusion
CHF cirrhosis renal failure increased mean hydrostatic pressure or decreased plasma protein osmotic pressure
Charcot Leyden Crystal
marker for?
Asthma
Common infectious pathogens causing Acute Bronchiolitis
mycoplasma
RSV
influenza
COPD- physical findings
barrel chest
increased tympany to percussion
retraction of chest wall at base (hoober’s sign)
pursed-lipped breathing
cyanosis
prolonged expiratory phase
rhonchi
COPD- Clubbing or no?
No
CT- diagnosis?
Normal
DAD caused by what?
radiation
huge pneumocytes
hyaline membranes
Definition of Chronic Bronchitis
presence of cough and sputum production for at least 3 months of 2 consecutive years
Diagnosis of CF
clinical symptoms, sibling with CF, abnormal newborn screen AND evidence of CFTR dysfunction
requires 2 abnormal sweat tests (>60) to make diagnosis
Diagnosis?
bronchiectasis
– inflammatory destruction of wall
Diagnosis?
paraseptal emphysema
blebs under the pleura and around septae
diagnosis?
traction bronchioectasis
abnormalities are secondary to parenchymal fibrosis
Difference between DAD and ARDS
DAD (diffuse alveolar damage) is a pathologic term and ARDS is a clinical term
disease?
pulmonary edema
Emphysema seen in smokers
centriacinar (centrilobular) emphysema
fiindings? diagnosis?
hyperinflation
flattened diaphragm
== COPD
focus on patient’s left lung
emphysema
lots of open air space
focus on white blob
mucoid impaction
+ dilated airways
= bronchiectasis
