Respiratory Disease Flashcards
Pleural fluid > 1000 cells, >80% lymphocytes, TG > 100s.
Chylothorax
R>L
FA, TG and protein LOSS
Risk infection - also lose immunoglobulins
Transudative vs exudative
Transudative -pH>7.4, wbc< 1000, LDH <200
Exudative pH < 7.4, wbc > 1000, LDH > 200
Describe congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia
- when does lymphatic system develop
- genetic associations (primary CPL)
- secondary CPL exs
Mgmt, Prognosis
Devp - starst 6 wks, usually complete by 20 wks
Genetics - Associated with Noonan’s, Ehlers-Danlos, Ullrich-Turner, Down’s syndrome
Secondary - TAPVR, HLH with restricted septum
Supportive care, poor prognosis, later dx has a better prognosis
Review stages of lung devp and congenital lung abnormalities – 2 mistakes!
cong lobar emph - LUL #1, increased risk CHD, disruption of brochopulm devp (cartilageous defect?)
CPAM - branchingabnormalitof lung at differentairway levels; imbalance cell proliferation and celldeath; cystic and adenomatous overgrowth, 5 types, #1 70%
0,2 with anomalies - poor prognosis, 3 vey large
bronchogenic cyst - anomalousbudding of foregut, mostly posterior trachea, sx dep on size, location
Cong pulm lymph - M>F increased risk pleural effusions, often need bx to dx, hyperinflated lungs, poor prognosis if severe
BPD - nonfunctioning lungtissue
bronchogenic cyst - embryonic stage
cong lobar emphysema - pseudoglandular stage
Types 0 to 4 CPAM
- most common
- most severe / bad prognosis
- most associated with other anomalies
intralobar vs extralobar BPS
congenital pneumonia
- organisms by when it presents - perinatal, early (1 wk) or late (after 1 week)
Choanal atresia
- R vs L
- Unilateral vs bilateral
- Bony vs mixed
- How often associated with other anomalies
- Right
- FEMALES > males
- 70% mixed
- 50% other anomalies
Phrenic nerve injury
- which cranial nerves
- causes of injury
- sx
C3 - C5
75% from associated injuries – neck hyperextension
innervates diaphragm - resp distress
could - rare - assocaited with spinal cord injury (VASCULAR or bony injury or fracture)
Pneumothorax
- when does it resolve
1 to 2 days
Pneumomediastinum
- XR finding
- causes
- sail sign / angel wings
- can be associated with pharyngeal perf (see air around mediastinum, air around airway)
Chylothorax
-what causes
- MOST COMMON PLEURAL EFFUSION IN NEONATES
- M vs F
- analysis of pleural fluid
- primary vs secondary (%)
- examples of primary
primary -
— congenital chylothorax eg trisomy 21, noonan, turner’s
— congenital pulm lymphangiectasia - abnormally wide or dilated lymphatics, can compress airway
M»_space; F
Fluid: lymph predominance > 80%, TG >100, LDH elevated
Can give MCT, fat free diet (MCT absorbed into vasculature not lymphatics)
Most are secondary / acquired
