Respiratory 2 (Use this LATEST edition!) Flashcards
what causes right heart failure?
pulmonary hypertension
left heart failure causes
pulmonary edema
restrictive pulmonary disease
restrics lung expansion, decreases lung volume, increases work of breathing, inadequate ventilation/oxygen
restrictive pulmonary disease results in
hypoxia + diffusional defect when there’s edema + fibrosis of alveolar walls
restrictive pulmonary disease has 3 phases to damage alveolar walls
hyaline membrane in alveolar sacs
edema + inflammation of interstitium
fibrosis
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
produced by diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) leading to systemic metabolic derangements
ARDS increases alveolar capillary permeability causing
leakage of fibrin rich edema fluid into alveoli
Phase 1 of ARDS : Acute exude
forms hyaline membranes in alveolar spaces; exudation of fibrin rich edema fluid mixed with cytoplasmic + lipid remnants of necrotic epithelial cells
Phase 2 of ARDS: Late organization
cell proliferation and fibrosis; congested, impaired ventilation; regeneration of type II alveolar lining cells and organization of hyaline membrane with pulmonary fibrosis
When does interstitial fibrosis with thickening of alveolar walls or fibrous obliteration of alveolar spaces occur?
phase 2 of ARDS
ARDS treatment
mortality reduced to 40%
AdULT respiratory distress syndrome interstitial fibrosis leads to
honeycomb lung
2 causes of chronic interstitial lung disease (inhaled)
- extrinsic allergic alveolitis (immune rxn to inhaled organic dusts),
- pneumoconiosis- inhaling industrial (mineral) dusts
intrinsic diseases that cause chronic interstitial lung disease
- idiopathic interstitial pneumonitis (inflammation of alveoli)
- non-organ specific autoimmune CT diseases
- sarcoidosis
immune reaction in lung to inhaled antigens causes extrinsic allergic alveolitis (hypersensitivity pneuonitis)
- proteins in bird droppings
- contaminated vegetable derived material
- actinomyces + fungi in rotting crops
Farmer’s lung- moldy hay
Bird Fancier’s lung- Pigeon feces
Bagassosis- moldy sugarcane
4 types of pneumoconiosis
- antracosis
- coal worker’s pneumoconiosis
- silicosis
- asbestosis
what causes coal worker’s pneumoconiosis?
inhalation of coal dust with carbon and silica
progressive massive fibrosis (restrictive pulmonary disease) in Coal Worker’s is usually surrounded by
emphysema
Silicosis
silica particles within nodules under polarized light; silica in macrophages cause TB
Asbestosis long latent period often seen of up to
50 years b/w exposure and onset of clinical disease
asbestosis
a lung disease resulting from the inhalation of asbestos particles, marked by severe fibrosis and a high risk of mesothelioma (cancer of the pleura)
Ferruginous bodies
asbestosis bodies within macrophages; long thin fibers coated w/ hemosiderin and protein to form yellow brown filaments w/ a beaded or drumstick pattern
sarcoidosis
granulomatous lung disease, non-caseating histiocytic granulomas in lung interstitum
histiocytic and giant cell inflammation in
sarcoidosis
other granulomatous lung diseases
(TGIF) TB Granulomatous Vasculitis Inhaled Foreign bodies (e.g. pneumoconiosis) Fungal infections (e.g. histoplasmosis)
