respiratory Flashcards
ards
diffuse alveolar damage (capillary) char by rapid onsef of severe life threatening respiratory insufficiency, cyanosis and severe arterial hypoxemia that is refractory to o2 therapy
xray- ARDS
diffuse alveolar infiltration
causes of ARDS
diffuse alveolar damage infection, chemical injury, physical injury, inhaled irritants, hematologic, pancreatitis, cabg
emphysema
abn permanent enlargement airways distal to terminal bronchiole. + obstruction of their walls without obvious fibrosis. enlargement without destruction equals overinflation
xray emphysema
hyperinflation
s/s emphysema
pink puffer- airway resistance increased, low elastic recoil, severe dyspnea, scant sputum
chronic bronchitis symptoms
mild dyspnea, copious sputum and cough, cor pulmanale common, increased airway resistance, normal elastic recoil, blue bloater
chronic bronchitis
chronic overinflation- air trapped, lung expands because air trapped in
xray chronic bronchitis
prominent vessels, large heart
bronchiolar and bronchial injury leads to
infection, bronchospasm, hypersecretion of mucous leads to reversible obstruction of bronchioles and small bronchi with repeated injury leads to chronic bronchitis, with destruction of alveolar walls leads to chronic bronchitis and emphysema
obstructive diseases PFTs
decrease fev/fvc, decreased fev1
obstructive disorders
emphysema, osa, asthma, obesity, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis
emphysema
damage at acinar level
bronchitis
damage at bronchial level
fev/fvc levels and severity
> 80% mild, 50-79% mod, 30-49% severe, < 30 very severe
copd+ air trapping equals
v/q mismatch
emphysema
abnormal permanent enlargement of air spaces enlargement and destruction of alveolar walls with loss of elasticity and air trapping.
chronic bronchitis
inflammation and thickening mucous membrane with accumulation of mucous and pus leads to obstruction
bronchiectasis
perm dilation bronchi and bronchioles, secondary to permanent muscle and elastic tissue secondary to chronic necrotizing infections
ex of bronchiectasis
cystic fibrosis, severe pneumonia, bronchial obstruction
anesthesia and copd
assess changes in symptoms, avoid smoking,
adenocarcinoma
originates in epithelial tissues that line body cavities and glands
squamous cell
originates in columnar epithelial cells-skin, digestive tract, lungs
non small cell ca
epithelial cell insensitive to chemo (80% lung ca)
