Respiratory Flashcards
Dx of asthma
Methacholine –> M3 stimulation
Aspirin induced asthma Tx
LT receptor blockers - Zafirlukast, Montelukast
Restrictive lung disease
- Fibrosis
- ARDS
- Sarcoid
- Pneumoconioses
- Goodpasture’s
- Wegener’s
- Drugs - bleomycin, amiodarone, busulfan
Obstructive lung diseases
Asthma, COPD
FVC dec
RV, TLC, FRC dec
FEV1/FVC normal or inc
Restrictive lung disease
- think of it as a small lung volume problem
- DCLO DEC
FVC normal
RV, TLC, FRC in
FEV1/FVC dec
Obstructive lung disease
- can’t get the air out = learn to function at higher lung capacity
- DLCO INC
Spherules
Coccidoides immitis
Cells that produce surfactant
Type II pneumocytes
Calculate dead space
tidal volume x PACO - PECO / PACO
Calculate pulmonary vascular resistance
P-pul artery - P-l atrium / CO
Hypoxemia w/ normal A-a gradient
High altitude
Hypoventilation
= there is no impaired delivery of O2 to the blood
Hypoxemia w/ INC A-a gradient
V/Q mismatch
Diffusion limited - fibrosis
R–>L shunt
Hypoxia (dec O2 delivery to tissue) w/ normal A-a gradient
Dec CO
Hypoxemia
Anemia
Hypoxia w/ INC A-a gradient
CN
CO
V/Q of apex
3 = wasted ventilation
V/Q of base
0.6 = wasted perfusion
V/Q = 0
SHUNT blood
Airway obstruction
V/Q = infinity
DEAD space
BF obstruction
100% O2 improves PO2
1 rhinitis
adenovirus
Nasal polyps
Aspirin-intolerant asthma*
CF
Chinese adult w/ pleomorphic keratin+ cells in a background of lymphocytes, cervical LA
Nasopharyngeal CA
- EBV*
Single in adults or multiple in kids growth on vocal cord
Laryngeal papilloma
- HPV 6,11
Pneumonia in nursing home & diabetics
Kleb
Pneumonia in alcoholics
Kleb
Pneumonia exacerbation of COPD
H. influenzae #1 = Moraxella
