Respiratory 1 (USE THIS LATEST EDITION!) Flashcards
chronic hypoxemia
- pulmonary hypertension
- Right ventricular hypertrophy
- Polycythemia
- Hypercapnia
polycythemia
increase in hemoglobin
hypercapnia
increase in Co2
Atelectasis
partial or complete collapse of the lung
what causes atelectasis?
compression of the lung when fluid or air accumulates in the pleural cavity
What does atelectasis result in
resorption, compression, contraction
pulmonary hypertension results in
increased work, right heart failure (cor pulmonale), occlusion of lumen of pulmonary arteries
large pulmonary emboli lead to
right heart failure and death
pulmonary emboli arise in… and pass through
deep leg veins, venous circulation to heart and pulmonary arteries
in a clinical setting, pulmonary emboli is marked by
venous stasis= CHF, prolonged bed rest or sitting
liver cirrhosis and pulmonary emboli lead to
thrombo-emboli
pulmonary emboli can be caused by
cancer, fractures, childbirth, foreign material
what causes pulmonary edema
left ventricular heart failure
2 wats Pneumonia spreads
air space spread (bacteria) interstitial spread (viral)
pneumonia classification (SIACH pneumonic)
1 Community acquired 2 Hospital acquired (nosocomial) 3 acquired in Special environments 4 Immunosuppressed 5 Aspiration
Bronchopneumonia
acute bacterial pneumonia on bronchi, spread to adjacent alveoli
- filled with exudate
- affected areas consolidate
Lung of bronchopneumonia looks
firm, airless, dark red or gray
FADrg pneumonic
Where is pus formed in bronchopneumonia?
peripheral bronchi
lobar pneumonia
microorganisms colonize distal alveolar air spaces, not bronchi; rapid spread to alveolar air spaces and bronchioles lead to acute inflammatory exudate limited by pulmonary fissures
2 organisms of lobar pneumonia?
strep. pneumoniae and klebsiella
appearance of lobar pneumonia?
consolidated and airless
Can ppl with lobar pneumonia recover with normal structure and fxn?
YES!
Community acquired pneumonia is what percent strep. pneumoniae
33%
How do you diagnose hospital acquired pneumonia?
bronchial lavage with expectorated sputum; infection 2+days after hospitalization; incidence is 5% of admitted
