Quiz 1c Flashcards
3 main portions of respiratory system
- Upper airway
- Lower airway
- Terminal alveoli
How many generations of airways are there?
26
5 parts of upper airway
- Nasal cavities
- Sinuses
- Pharynx
- Tonsils
- Larynx
3 parts of lower airway (conducting airway)
- Trachea
- Bronchi
- Nonrespiratory bronchioles
Describe differences between R and L lungs
R: bigger, 3 lobes
L: 2 lobes, lingula, cardiac notch
3 “or”s to classify pulmonary disease
- Acute or chronic
- Obstructive or restrictive
- Infectious or noninfectious
Term for coughing up blood
Hemoptysis
DOE
Dyspnea on exertion
Shortness of breath
Dyspnea
Pt can’t sleep flat - sign of pulm and cardiac diseases
Orthopnea
Nail beds swollen and rounded
Clubbing
Increased respiratory rate
Tachypnea
5 common sites for referred pain
- Chest
- Ribs
- Upper trap
- Shoulder
- T spine
Pulmonary pain increases with ______________
Inspiratory movements
________ pleura is sensitive to pain; _______ pleura is not sensitive to pain
Parietal (rib cage lining); visceral (lines lungs)
Outermost of the pleural membranes
Parietal
Thin serous membrane tissue layer than sticks to lung surface
Visceral
What’s between visceral and parietal pleura?
Pleural cavity
Dificient oxygenation of arterial blood
Hypoxemia
Caused by respiratory alterations
Hypoxemia
Causes cell death
Hypoxemia
Normal PaO2 of blood
80-100
Accumulation of fluid in the tissues and air spaces of the lung
Pulmonary edema
Most commonly caused by heart disease, especially left ventricular disfunction (LVF)
Pulmonary edema
Inflammation affected the parenchyma of the lungs
Pneumonia
Pneumonia at the level of the lobes
Lobar pneumonia
Pneumonia at the level of bronchioles and alveoli
Bronchopneumonia
4 etiologies of pneumonia
- Bacterial
- Viral
- Inhalation
- Aspiration
Vaccination of this condition is recommended for those over 65, or with chronic disorders, HIV, or poorly controlled DM
Pneumonia
4 stages of recovery of pneumonia
- Consolidation
- Red hepatization
- Gray hepatization
- Resolution
Starts 24 hours after contact with infection; fluid displaces some of the air
Consolidation
Blood leaks into air leaks (stage of p)
Red hepatization
Caused by breakdown of accumulated RBC (stages of P)
Gray hepatization
Can see discolored or bloody sputum; infection is clearing (stages of p)
Resolution
PCP
Pneunocystis carinii pneumonia
Parasitic infection seen in AIDS
PCP
First indicator of conversion from HIV to AIDS
PCP
Infectious, inflammatory systemic disease that affects lungs and may disseminate to involve lymph nodes and other organs
TB
Characterized by granulomas, caseous necrosis and cavity formation
TB
TB: primary infection involves:
Spreads to:
Then travels to:
- Middle or lower lung area
- Bronchopulmonary lymph nodes
- Bloodstream
When do signs of TB usually appear?
Late - usually after one year
