Pulmonary: Obstructive Lung Diseases: Other Flashcards
1
Q
Asthma
A
- Chronic inflammatory disease caused by reactivity of airway to various stimuli
2
Q
Pneumonia: Aspiration
A
- Aspirated material causes an acute inflammatory reaction in the lungs
3
Q
Pneumonia: Aspiration: Found in
A
- Impaired swallowing
- Fixed neck extension
- Intoxication
- Impaired consciousness
- Neuromuscular disease
- Recent anesthesia
4
Q
Pneumonia: Bacterial
A
- Intra-alveolar bacterial infection
5
Q
Pneumonia: Bacterial: Pneuomoccocal pneumonia
A
- Gram positive bacteria
- Most common type
- Typically acquired in the community
6
Q
Pneumonia: Viral
A
- An interstitial or intra-alveolar inflammatory process caused by viral agents
7
Q
Pneumonia: Viral: Respiratory Syncytial Virus
A
- Most common in children
8
Q
Bronchiectasis
A
- A chronic congenital or acquired disease characterized abnormal dilation of the bronchi and excessive sputum production
9
Q
Cystic Fibrosis
A
- A genetically inherited disease characterized by thickening of secretions of all exocrine glands
- Causes obstruction
10
Q
Cystic Fibrosis: Clinical Signs
A
- Meconium ileus
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Inability to gain weight despite adequate caloric intake
11
Q
Cystic Fibrosis: Diagnosis
A
- Postnatally
- Blood test indicating trypsinogen
- Sweat electrolyte test
12
Q
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
A
- Obstructive Lung Disease
- Sequelae of premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome
13
Q
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Results from
A
- High pressures of mechanical ventilation
- High fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2)
- Infection
14
Q
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Presentation
A
- Pulmonary immaturity and dysfunction due to hyper-inflation
15
Q
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
A
- Alveolar collapse in premature infant resulting from lung immaturity
- Inadequate level of pulmonary surfactant
