pulm exam Flashcards
what is tidal volume?
air inspired during normal, relaxed breathing
what is inspiratory reserved volume?
additional air that can be forcibly inhaled after inspiration of a normal tidal volume
inspired over and above tidal volume
what is expiratory reserve volume?
the additional air that can be forcibly exhaled after the expiration of a normal tidal volume
expired over tidal volume
what is residual volume?
volume of air that remains in lungs after expiratory reserve volume is exhaled
always present in lungs
what is total lung capacity?
maximum amount of air that can fill the lungs
TLC = VC + IRV + ERV + RV
what is vital capacity?
total amount of air that can be expired after fully inhaling
VC = TV + IRV + ERV
what is inspiratory capacity?
maximum amount of air that can be inspired
IC = TV + IRV
what is functional residual capacity?
amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration
FRV = ERV + RV
in restrictive lung diseases, will the lung volumes be increased or decreased?
everything is decreased except FEV1 is normal
what are two examples of restrictive lung diseases?
pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis
in obstructive lung diseases, what lung volume values are increased?
tidal volume, FRC, RV, TLC
air is stuck in the lungs
is FEV1 increased or decreased in obstructive lung disease?
decreased
what is FEV1?
forced expiratory volume in 1 second
how can you help prevent airway collapse for ppl with COPD?
pursed lip breathing
dorsal kyphosis, A-P diameter increased, respiratory rate (RR) increases are signs of what?
COPD
according to COPD Gold classification, what stage is FEV1 > 80%, with or without chronic sx (cough, sputum production)?
Stage 1: Mild
according to COPD Gold classification, what stage is FEV1 50-80%, with or without sx?
Stage II: Moderate
according to COPD Gold classification, what stage is FEV1 30-50%, with or without sx?
Stage III: Severe
according to COPD Gold classification, what stage is FEV1 < 30 %, with chronic respiratory failure and severe dyspnea?
Stage IV: very severe
what percent is FEV1/FVC in each stage of COPD
< 70% in each stage
what breath sound would be a low pitch sound all over the thorax?
vesicular
what breath sound would be high pitched, loud, over the manubrium, with expiratory sounds longer than inspiratory sounds?
bronchial
what breath sound is very loud, high pitches, over the trachea, and has equal inspiratory and expiratory durations?
tracheal
what breath sound has intermediate pitch and intensity and is heard between 1st and 2nd interspace anteriorly and between the scapulae?
broncho-vesicular
if you hear an S3 heart sound, which high pitched abnormal breath sound is most likely associated with CHF?
crackles
there is congestion and fluid collection leading to crackles, will hear brief, discontinuous popping
what conditions is wheezing associated with?
COPD and asthma
it’s caused by airway obstruction
what abnormal respiratory sound is low pitched, rattling and resembles snoring?
Rhonchi
ronquidos is spanish for snoring
what abnormal respiratory sound would you expect to hear with COPD, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, or cystic fibrosis?
rhonchi
what abnormal respiratory sound would indicated pleural inflammation?
pleural rub
auscultated in lower lateral chest area
