resp path Flashcards
virchow’s triad of DVT risk
stasis
hypercoaguability
endothelial damage
dorsiflexion of foot leading to pain should be suspicous of
DVT (horman’s sign)
imaging test of choice for PE
CT pulmonary angiography
lines of zahn can dtermine what about a PE
that it was pre-mortem
lung function in obstructive dxs
increase in RV, decrease in about everything else. BIG decrease in FEV1, V/Q mismatch
causes chronic bronchitis
hypertrophy of mucus secreting glands in bromchi
criteria of chronic bronchitis
productive cough for 3 months per year for more than 2 yesrs
findings of chronic bronchitis
wheezing, crackles, cyanosis, late onest-dyspnea
pt exhaling through pursed lips a sign of
emphysema (keeps airway from collapsing during exhalation)
chronic necrotizing infection of bronchi
brochictasis
can cause bronchiectasis
bronchial obstruction, poor ciliary obstruction, kartageneer’s, CF, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
respiratory changes in restricive lung disease
decreased lung volumes, FEV1/FVC ration greater than 80%
general types of restrictive lung disease
poor breathing mechanics/instsital lung dx
can cause poor breathing mechanic restrictive lung dx
polio, MG, scoliosis, obestity
intersistial lung diseases
ARDS neoatal RDS pneumoconioses sarcoidoses idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis goodpasture's granulomatosis with polyangitits drug toxicity
bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, noncaseating granuola, high ACE, and high calcium
sarcoidosis
drugs that can cause retsrictive lung disease (mostly fibrosis)
bleomycin
busulfan
amiodarone
methotrexate
“eggshell calcification of hilar lymph nodes”
silicosis
golden brown fusiform rods looking like dumbells
asbestos bodies
