Q

aspirin/nsaids.
pathophysiology?

A

Aspirin blocks the COX pathway, leading to overstimulation of leukotriene (ie, proinflammatory) pathway

Q

aspirin/nsaids. treatment?

A

Management of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis

Avoidance of NSAIDs

Desensitization of NSAIDs (if it is necessary)

Leukotriene inhibitors (eg, zileuton) and leukotriene receptor antagonist (eg, montelukast) can also improve respiratory and nasal symptoms

Q

aspirin/nsaids. differentiatials?

A

Anaphylaxis
i. Skin involvement is seen in anaphylaxis
ii. NSAIDs can worsen anaphylaxis by resulting in non-immunologic mast cell activation

Q

arachidonic pathway.
membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2 –> arachidonic –> 2 ways: 5lipoxygenase or COX.

5lipoxygenase –> ?

A

Leukotriene A4 –>
a) LTB4 (chemotaxis)
b) LTC4, D4, E4 (bronchospasm, incr. permeability)

Q

GERD. what mechanism?

A

GERD is common in asthma patients and can exacerbate asthma symptoms through microaspiration of gastric contents, leading to:
a. inr. vagal tone
b. Bronchial reactivity

Q

Atelectasis in asthma.
mechanism?

A
  1. Asthma exacerbation leads to mucus hypersecretion (eg, dark colored sputum), which can result
    in formation of a mucus plug in the airways
  2. This mucus plug blocks the airway, leading to atelectasis of the lung of the affected side

19
Q

Anaphylaxis table.
Treatment. 3

A

Intramuscular epinephrine
Airway management and volume resuscitation
Adjunctive therapy (antihistamines, glucocorticoids)

20
Q

Asthma and COPD diff. table.

Differentiating between the two is important as therapeutic approach is different in both:

A

Inhaled corticosteroids are the primary long-term intervention for asthma

Long-acting anticholinergic inhaler is preferred for COPD

21
Q

Long-acting anticholinergic inhaler is preferred for ?

A

COPD

22
Q

Inhaled corticosteroids are the primary long-term intervention for ?

A

asthma

23
Q

Asthma and COPD diff. table.
what test used to differentiate?

A

The differentiating test is spirometry before and after administration of a bronchodilator (usually albuterol)

24
Q

Asthma and COPD diff. table.
spirometry with bronchodilator. what result in asthma?

A

If patient has asthma, there will be complete restoration of normal airflow after bronchodilator administration

25
Q

DLCO decreases in COPD due to
alveolar destruction but increases (or
stays normal) in asthma due to
increased thoracic blood flow caused
by negative intrathoracic pressures
during inspiration

A
