Resp III Flashcards
NRDS
low surfactant
-alveolar collapse - ground glass on CXR
L:S ratio less than 1.5
risk of PDA, retinopathy, IV hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia
risk fx NRDS
premature
maternal diabetes - fetal insulin increase
C-section - less release of glucocorticoids
tx NRDS
maternal steroid before birth
ARDS
acute onset resp failure
-B/L opacities
causes - shock, sepsis, gastric aspiration, acute pancreatitis
diffuse alveoli damage - protein rich - leak to alveoli
formation of intraalveolar hylaine membrane
tx - mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume
-tx underlying cause
sleep apnea
repeated stop breathing more than 10 sec during sleep
daytime sleepiness
nocturnal hypoxia
-systemic/pulm HTN, arrhythmia, sudden death
see EPO release - erythropoiesis
obstructive sleep apnea
res effort against obstructed airway
with obesity and loud snoring
excess pharyngeal tissue
tx - weight loss, CPAP, surgery
central sleep apnea
no resp effort - CNS injury/toxicity
pulmonary HTN
greater than 25mmHg at rest
get arteriolosclerosis, medial hypertrophy, intimal fibrosis
death - decompensated cor pulmonale
pulmonary arterial HTN
idiopathic
- heritable - BMPR2 - inactivated
- normally inhibit vasc smooth m proliferation
bad prognosis
also with cocaine, amphetamine use, HIV, CT disease, portal HTN, cngenital heart disease
pulmonary HTN with left heart disese
systolic/diastolic dysfxn - and valvular disease
pulmonary HTN due to lung disease or hypoxia
destruction parenchyma - COPD
hypoxemia vasoconstriction
-sleep apnea/living at altitude
chronic thromboembolic PH
recurrent microthrombi
tension pneumo
trachea away from side of lesion
hyperresonant on percussion
atelectasis
bronchial obstruction
tracheal deviation toward side of lesion
transudate
low protein content
increased hydrostatic P and low oncotic P
