Pulmonary II Flashcards
Destructive enzymes break down alveolar
walls, leading to: floppy airway (more compliance), air trapping and
decreased SA for gas exchange in which condition?
A. Emphysema
B. COPD
C. CHF
D. PE
A. Emphysema
What’s the difference between Centrilobular and Panacinar pneumonia?
Centrilobular affects bronchioles and respiratory bronchioles
Panacinar affects alveolar ducts and alveolus
Genetic mutations in α1 anti-trypsin, smoking,
exposure to 2nd hand smoke or air pollution are risk factors for which two conditions?
Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis
Which condition is characterized by diminished mucocilliary escalator function +
hypertrophy of goblet and bronchiolar smooth
muscle cells?
A. Lung Cancer
B. Pleural Effusion
C. CHF
D. Pneumothorax
E. Chronic Bronchitis
E. Chronic Bronchitis
Which condition is associated with chronic infection, which leads to chronic AIRWAY inflammation and
AIR TRAPPING secondary to SECRETION RETENTION?
Chronic Bronchitis
In which condition do irritants (allergens, pollution, dust, etc…) lead to reversible inflammatory response in bronchioles?
A. Lung Cancer
B. Pleural Effusion
C. CHF
D. Pneumothorax
E. Asthma
E. Asthma
True or False:
Respiratory infection and air temperature contributes to developing asthma
True!
How is bronchial smooth muscle affected in asthmatics?
Bronchial SM constricts
constricts, leading to air trapping & alveolar hyperinflation
Which two factors lead to fluid infiltration, as
seen in asthma?
- Increased in mucous production
- Bronchiolar, mucosal inflammation + thickening
Aphasia, immobilization, malnutrition, COPD, heart disease,
AIDS, and being asplenic are risk factors for:
A. Lung Cancer
B. Pleural Effusion
C. CHF
D. Pneumothorax
E. Pneumonia
E. Pneumonia
True or False: CHF is an inflammatory reaction of the distal airway to insult/microorganism
False - pneumonia
____ evolves in stages, often following a viral infection
Pneumonia
____ is a severe, systemic or
pulmonary insult resulting in
strong inflammatory or
immune response
ARDS
Having pancreatitis, pneumonia, acute
renal failure, or shock can make you more likely to develop ____
ARDS
Thickening of inter-alveolar-capillary space, as well as pulmonary edema, fibrosis, and stiff lung (reduced
compliance) are features of which condition:
A. Pleural Effusion
B. COPD
C. ARDS
D. Asthma
C. ARDS
Which cytokine plays a major role in the intense cytokine-induced inflammation associated with ARDS?
IL-8
Effects of IL-8 in ARDS?
Antibodies forming immune complexes
IC:
1) attract/activate neutrophils
2) trigger edema, fibrosis &
hypoxia
Increased lung stiffness (↓ compliance), ↑ work of breathing is characteristic of _____
ARDS
True or False: Productive cough, cyanosis, crackles, chest pain, and low BP are associated with ARDS
True
____typically starts as “coin lesion” along bronchi with mix of
cartilage and epithelial cells
Lung cancer
Skin flushing, diarrhea, dyspnea & asthma-like
symptoms, tachycardia; Cushing syndrome, hyper/hypocalcemia,
weight loss, and cachexia are parneoplasic effects, as seen in: ______
Lung Cancer
____: Sudden, life-threatening occlusion of a
pulmonary artery by embolism or thrombus.
Leads to ventilation-perfusion mismatching
PE
Deconditioning, HTN, smoking, diabetes,
atherosclerosis, obesity, hyperlipidemia, MI,
valvular heart disease, viral or bacterial
infections, hyper/hypothyroidism are risk factors associated with:
CHF
Which condition typically takes years
to develop (5-30 years), but can occur acutely w/infection?
A. CHF
B. Asthma
C. PE
A. CHF
True or False: Exercise intolerance, edema, and SOB are characteristic of CHF
True
Blood “backs up” into pulmonary/systemic system/both and heart & vasculature undergoes remodeling in which condition?
CHF
Contusion/trauma, COPD, connective
tissue disorders, TB, and tall stature are risk factors for:
Pneumothroax
True or False: There is ventilation: perfusion mismatching in pneumothroax
True
Pneumonia, connective tissue disorder (RA,
SLE, etc…), CHF, lymphedema, neoplasm, TB, and
pancreatitis are risk factors for:
A. PE
B. CHF
C. Pleuritis/Pleural Effusion
D. Pneumonia
C. Pleuritis/Pleural Effusion
