RCQ ch.7 - OLD Flashcards
cardinal presentation of chronic bronchitis
air trapping
cardinal presentation of emphysema
increased residual volume and total lung capacity
cardinal presentation of asthma
decreased FEV1/FVC
cardinal presentation of cystic fibrosis
decreased FEV1
CO2 retention
decreased DLCO
cyanosis
wheezing
dyspnea
cough
obstructive lung disease defined as
Cluster of problems that affect airways and the lung parenchyma
producing obstruction to expiratory airflow
diseases under OLDs
emphysema
chronic bronchitis
bronchoconstriction
CF
bronchiectasis
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
primary causes of OLD
inhalation factors
genetics
what genetic deficiency causes OLDs
a1-antitrypsin deficiency
what does a1-antitrypsin deficiency cause
decreased surfactant production
decreased alveolar sac integrity
symptoms of OLDs
dyspnea on exertion
secretion production
cough
what can dyspnea lead to
increased anxiety
lung obstruction causes
retained secretions
inflammation of mucosal lining
bronchial constriction
weakening of airway wall structure
air sac destruction / overinflation with destruction of surfactant
what is the cascade of inflammatory response
inhalation exposure leads to increased protease activity and decreased antiprotease activity
what does inflammatory response cause in the lung tissue
elastin and CT breakdown
hyperplasia of mucus secreting cells
ciliary elevator damage
what causes obstruction
hypersecretion of mucus
mucus plugging
edema of mucosal lining
increased reactivity of airways
bronchial fibrosis
how does chronic inflammation decrease elastic recoil of the lung
narrowing small airways
damage of lung parenchyma
loss of alveolar attachments in small airways
loss of recoil leads to
loss of gas exchange capability
chronic lung hyperinflation
sequalae related to loss of elastic recoil
o Hyperinflation
o v/q mismatching
o hypoxemia
o hypercapnia
how does hyperinflation of the lung affect the thorax
Rib cage turns barrel shaped
Affects bucket handle and pump handle motions
what causes diaphragm flattening at the tissue level
loss of sarcomeres
change in length tension relationship
exhalation becomes forced
when the diaphragm becomes flattened, what can happen
increase intraabdominal pressure
more stress on pelvic floor and possible urinary incontinence
how is inspiration affected by flattened diaphragm
Rely on accessory muscles
Postural deviations
what muscles are recruited when the diaphragm is overworked
SCM, upper trap, scalenes, pectoralis muscles
what postural deviations are seen when the diaphragm is flattened
forward head
rounded shoulders
thoracic kyphosis
posterior thoracic musculature to lengthen and weaken
how is muscle affected by pulmonary obstructive disease
Reduction of mitochondrial density per fiber bundle
Reduction of capillary density
Reduction of aerobic metabolism / poor muscle endurance
Poorer exercise capacity
general changes to the thorax due to obstructive lung diseases
- Elevation of the shoulder girdle
- Horizontal ribs
- Barrel shaped thorax
- Low, flattened diaphragm
