A

bronchiectasis

28
Q

what type of obstructive lung disease is inherited?

A

cystic fibrosis

29
Q

what are the 2 types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

A

emphysema and chronic bronchitis

30
Q

What type of COPD is permanent, abnormal enlargement of the alveoli and destruction of bronchioles?

31
Q

when hyperinflation occurs, what happens to the inspiratory muscles and diaphragm?

A

shortening of inspiratory muscles and flattening of the diaphragm

32
Q

what is the most common complaint with emphysema?

33
Q

what are types of treatment used for emphysema?

A

smoking cessation, bronchodilators, O2, pulmonary rehab, volume reduction surgery, lung transplant

34
Q

What type of COPD has a persistent cough that produces sputum for more than 3 months for at least 2 consecutive years and is usually caused by smoking?

A

chronic bronchitis

35
Q

what is considered end stage chronic bronchitis?

A

bronchiectasis with permanent dilation of bronchi with purulent secretions and recurrent infections

36
Q

what are treatment options for chronic bronchitis?

A

smoking cessation, antibiotics for infection, bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, expectorants, mucolytics, O2, airway clearance, and pulmonary rehab

37
Q

what type of obstructive lung disease has reversible airway obstruction related to inflammation?

38
Q

what can asthmatic episodes be triggered by?

A

air pollutants, pollen, respiratory infections, exertion, cold air, and medications

39
Q

does asthma have a reproductive or non-reproductive cough?

A

non-reproductive

40
Q

What are treatment options for asthma?

A

inhaled steroids prior to inflammation, mainly bronchodilators after inflammation

41
Q

what should be emphasized with exercise and asthma

42
Q

what is thought to happen to induce an asthmatic attack during exercise?

A

due to loss of water and heat from lower respiratory system

43
Q

What is the sequence of events that occurs due to decreased elastic recoil with obstructive lung disease?

A

decreased recoil leads to hyperinflation then V/Q mismatch then hypoxemia and hypercapnia

44
Q

what is the most common symptom of obstructive lung disease?

45
Q

Clubbing is present in what type of lung disease?

A

obstructive

46
Q

A

obstructive

50
Q

what lung disease will you hear wheezes and crackles?

A

obstructive

51
Q

What are treatment techniques used for obstructive lung disease?

A

thoracic mobs and stretching, postural re-ed, rescue breathing ed, O2 target between 88-92% for some patients, pulmonary rehab, and mucus clearance techniques

52
Q

why don’t you want to give a patient with obstructive lung disease too much O2?

Q

what should the MEP be in women?

A

higher than 90 cmH2O

59
Q

What MEP predicts a weak cough and difficulty clearing secretions?

A

less than 60 cm H2O

60
Q

what is used to acquire a spirogram?

A

spirometer

61
Q

in normal lungs, how much of air in the lungs should be expelled in the first second?

62
