Pulmonary Pathology: Restrictive Lung Disease Flashcards
cardiovascular causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- pulmonary edema
- pulmonary emboli
Neuromuscular Causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- SCI
- ALS
- Polio
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Tetanus
- Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy
Connective Tissue Causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- RA
- SLE
- Polio
Nutritional and Metabolic Causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- Obesity
- DM
Traumatic Causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- crush injuries
- penetrating wounds
- thermal trauma
Immunologic Causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- Goodpasture’s syndrome
- Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Therapeutic Causes of restrictive lung dysfunction
- surgical therapy
- lung transplant
- drug therapy
- radiation therapy
Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia
- infection of lower respiratory tract beginning 72 hours + after hospitalization
- most common cause: pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Risk factors: tubes in throat, dysphagia, lung injury, diabetes, chronic cardiopulm disease, infection, smoker
Thoracic Cage Changes Due to:
- kyphoscoliosis
- ankylosing spondylitis
Common restrictive primary problems
- decreased compliance
- decreased lung volume & capacity
- increased WOB
Cor Pulmonale
R ventricular hypertrophy
Limited diaphragm displacement due to:
- obesity
- ascites
Alveolar compression caused by
-pleural effusion
Decreased compliance due to:
- stiffening of lung parenchyma
- alveolar compression
- thoracic changes
- limited diaphragm displacement
Restrictive
-trouble getting air in
Lung parenchyma stiffening from:
- interstitial fibrosis
- sarcoidosis
- scleroderma
Common restrictive symptoms
- dyspnea
- dry, nonproductive cough
- wasted, emaciated appearance
