Q

holistic asthma management

A

conservative:

Q

what channel type does CFTR mutation in CF affect? explain what this causes

A

Chlorride channel - which usually excretes chloride into secretions, pulling water with it > loosening the secretions

when chloride channel is mutated > no chloride movement > limited water movement > secretions are all thick

Q

what is the difference between obstructive and restrictive lung disease

A 
obstructive = difficult to exhale 
restrictive = difficult to inhale (difficulty expanding the chest, due to stiffness of lung tissue)
28
Q

causes of obstructive lung disease

A

COPD
asthma
bronchiecasis

29
Q

causes of restrictive lung disease

A

interstitial lung disease
scoliiosis
obestiy
neuromusk

30
Q

what are the TWO requirements to diagnose asthma in an adult

A

FeNO test + spirometry with bronchodilator reversibility

31
Q

where is aspiration pneumonia most likely to occur

A

Right lung base

32
Q

why is aspiration pneumonia commonest in Right lung base

A

because the right bronchus is straightest

33
Q

RF for aspiration pneumonia

A

swallowing dysfunctiono
reduced consciousnesss
altered neuro status

34
Q

what is unusual about obs that should make you suspect an aspiration pneumonia

A

TEMPERATURE - they will be APYREXIC

35
Q

what do you need to give to a patient with IE COPD after discharge?

A

5 days pred

36
Q

what do you give when discharging asthma pt if no admission

A

QUADRUPLE inhaled ICS (instead if PO pred)

37
Q

most common causative organism of infecton in BRONCHIECTASIUS

A

Haemophilius influenza

38
Q

how do you differentiate mesothelioma from SCC lung cancer on CXR

A

Mesothelioma is PERIPHERAL

SCC more likely CENTRAL

39
Q

how does mesothelioma appear on CXR

A

pleural effusion, pleural thickening

peripheral pleural plaques and peripherla mass

40
Q

what is a restrictive pattern on sppirometry

A

FEV1/FVC >70 (increased)

TLCO (gas exchange) low

41
Q

which respsiratory condition presents with a restrictive picture

A

pulmonary fibrosis

42
Q

what makes an asthma attack near fatal

A

if pCO2 is RAISED

43
Q

2 requirements to diagnose asthma in 5-16 yo

A

spirometry with broncodilator reversibility +- FeNO testing (FeNO necessary if uncertainty)

44
Q

Requirements for asthma dx in adult

A

FeNO test > spirometri with broncodilator reversibility (may also use, PFV, BC, specialist inoput)

45
Q

what is Meig’s syndorme

A

OPA

Ovarian tumour
pleural effusion
ascites

46
Q

what is TLCO

A

Transfer factor of the
Lung for
Carbon
monOxide

47
Q

what does TLCO essentially indicate

A

the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood > reflects how much oxygen is taken up by RBC

48
Q

causes of raised TLCO

A

INCREASED PERFUSION OR DIFFUSION

e.g. exercise, polycythaemia, asthma

49
Q

how do you investigate a mesothelioma

A

CXR > CT chest

if pleural effusion: tap, drain (MCS, buochem, cytology)

50
Q

mx of mesothelioma

A

symptomatic tx
industrial compensation
chemotherapy or surgery where possible

POOR PROGNOSISS 12 months

51
Q

mx pulmonary fibrosis

A

conservative: educate, pulmonary rehab, smoking cessation
medical: LTOT, anti-tussives, pirferidone, immunosuppressants
surgical: lung transplant

52
Q

mx sarcoid:

A

NSAID
steroid
steroid sparing (methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine)

53
Q

mx bronchiectasis

A

correct underlying cause if possible e.g. ABPA = oral glucocorticoids

conservative: physio, pulm reab 
smoking cessation 
prophylactic rescue packs 
broncodilators 
immunisatin
54
Q

surgical options for COPD

A
  • bullectomy
  • lung reduction surgery
  • endobronchial valve placement
  • lung transplant
55
Q

what can you give for smoking cessation

A

nicotinic replacrement therapy (ok in pregnancy)
bupropion
varencycline

56
Q

when is bupropion contraindicated

A

in epileptics

because it may cause seizure

57
Q

why is intubation a RF for aspiration

A
  • Use of neuromuscular agents may lead to an impaired swallow
  • Intubation itself can cause regurgitation
  • Intubation may cause damage to the trachea/airway that can inadvertently increase the risk of gastric contents aspirating into the lung
58
Q

why does a tension pneumothorax cause low BP

A

becuase it causes OUTFLOW OBSTRUCTION

59
Q

what is acute bronchitis

A

inflammation of trachea + major bronchi

60
Q

sx of bronchitis

A

cough
no sputum or sputum
sore throat, rhinorrhoea, wheeze

61
Q

what findings do you have on exam for bronchitis

A

may have NO FINDINGS on exam

incl on ascultation of lungs

62
Q

how do you manage bronchitis

A 
fluids 
analgesia
DOXYCYCLINE if: 
- crp >100 
consider if 
- crp 20-100 
- systemically unwell 
- pre existing comorbidities
63
Q

what is the most common organism in infective exacerbations of COPD

A

H influenza

64
Q

typical atibiotic for atypiical pneumonia

A

clarythromycin or doxy

65
Q

mycoplasma pneumoiae pneumonia presentation

A

joint pain
cold aglutinin test
erythema multiforme
SJS AIHA

66
Q

legionella pnneumoniae presentation

A

air travel, air condiitionin, hhepatitis,

hyponatraemia, urinary angigen
