Q

What is normal FEV1/FVC ratio?

A

• FEV1/FVC ratio: proportion of vital capacity that a person can exhale in 1 second

○ Normal - 75% and higher

Q

what is the role of phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors in COPD?

A

Roflumilast (Daliresp)

once daily medication, reduces risk of COPD exacerbation if severe COPD, NOT bronchodilator.

33
Q

CDC.gov

Contacts to confirmed TB: should be retested in ______ (time frame) after exposure

A

do TST, if initial test neg then retest 8-10 weeks after end of exposure

if child <5 years or immunosuppressed AND has neg initial TST –> do CXR
if CXR normal –> start treatment, second test in 8-10 weeks

34
Q

CDC.gov

How should contact tracing be done for positive TB case?

which antibiotics are effective against this?

A
  • macrolides
  • fluoroquinolones
  • cephalosporins
