Pulmonary Function Test Flashcards
What is ischemia?
when demand for O2 is more than supply of O2
What can frequently occur during exercise and manifest as angina?
ischemia
How much of horizontal or down sloping of the ST segment is indicative of ischemia?
1.0 mm
How much of up sloping of the ST segment is positive for ischemia?
1.5 mm
What is lung compliance?
ability of lungs to stretch and expand
What is elastic recoil of the lungs?
ability of lungs to recoil inwards from lung collagen, elastin, and smooth muscle fibers
What type of lung disease has low compliance and high recoil?
restrictive lung disease
what type of lung disease has a high compliance and low recoil?
obstructive lung disease
what type of lung disease will have changes in the rib cage and chest wall?
obstructive
what type of lung disease has a decreased lung volume?
restrictive lung disease
what type of lung disease has an increased lung volume but a reduction in air flow?
obstructive lung disease
what type of lung disease causes the diaphragm to flatten?
obstructive lung disease
What are the 5 types of causes of restrictive lung disease?
pleural, alveolar, interstitial, neuromuscular, and thoracic cage
what is the overall pathophysiology of a restrictive lung disease?
decreased working lung space impairing gas exchange
what are the 3 clinical manifestations of restrictive lung disease?
increased RR, decreased SpO2, and increased work of breathing
what are the 4 signs and symptoms of restrictive lung disease?
tachypnea, hypoxemia, decreased breath sounds, and decreased chest wall expansion
what causes pulmonary fibrosis?
immune disorders, occupational exposure, genetic abnormality, or a complication of lung injury
what type of breathing can pulmonary fibrosis lead to?
shallow and rapid due to loss of compliance, hypoxemia, and/or DOE
what type of restrictive lung disease involves an inflammatory to fibrotic process in the lungs?
pulmonary fibrosis
What are the 7 implications for rehab for the restrictive lung disease?
thoracic mobs, respiratory muscle stretching, breathing exercises and inspiratory muscle training, interval training, relaxation techniques, pulmonary rehab, titration of O2
what type of lung disease has a reduction in FVC?
restrictive
what type of lung disease has a normal or decreased FEV1?
restrictive
What type of lung disease has a normal FEV1/FVC ratio?
restrictive
what type of lung disease has a reduced TLC?
restrictive
what type of lung disease has a smaller flow volume loop?
restrictive
what is the primary cause of obstructive lung disease?
smoking which causes inflammation
