Respiratory pathology Flashcards
What are obstructive respiratory diseases
airway related diseases with limitation of airflow and increased resistance
what are restrictive respiratory diseases
reduced expansion of parenchyma and decreased lung capacity
What are the obstructive lung disorders
emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, asthma
what are the restrictive lung disorders
ARDS
pneumonconoises
interstitial fibrosis
sarcoidosis
What lung disease is characterized by collapse or incomplete lung expansion of part or all of the lung
atelectasis
What lung disease is characterized as a diffuse set of conditions where inflammatory cascades irreversibly damage the lungs
ALI (acute lung injury)
What lung disease is characterized as a disease common in premature infants (especially those with diabetic mothers and 2nd twin) where they aspirate amniotic fluid or blood and are unable to produce surfactant
RDS (respiratory distress syndrome)
What lung disease is characterized as an Acute or chronic AIRWAY DISEASE where hypersensitivity causes the airways to constrict or be remodeled, where there is goblet cell hyperplasia, increase in mucus, and inflammatory cells
Asthma
what lung disease is characterized as Emphysema AND chronic bronchitis ( obstructive and restrictive) causing irreversible airflow
COPD
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
what lung disease is characterized and dilation of bronchioles or bronchi secondary to chronic inflammation
bronchiectasis
what lung disease is characterized as interstitial fibrosis of unknown etiology
idopathic pulmonary fibrosis
what lung disease is caused by inhalation of inorganic materials mostly metals
pneumoconiosis
what lung disease is characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in the lungs
pulmonary edema
what lung disease is characterized by a clot in the lungs that kills the tissue distal to the clot
pulmonary embolism
what lung disease is characterized as a bacterial or viral infection in the lungs that often causes fluid accumulation
pneumonia
