Respiratory System and Disorders- Notes from Slideshow (quiz 3) PART 2 Flashcards

1
Q

Condition in which fluid collects in the lungs’ air sacs, depriving organs of oxygen. Can occur in those who are critically ill or who have significant injuries. It is often fatal, the risk increasing with age and severity of illness.

Q

Pathophysiology of ARDS

A
  1. Injury to capillary membrane
  2. platelets aggregate
  3. inflammatory inflame
  4. damage alveolar membrane
  5. Fluids leak both ways
  6. Surfactant is lost
  7. Capillaries collapse
  8. Gas exchange impaired
  9. Fibrosis
  10. Hypoxemia leads to acidosis

Q

A breathing disorder in newborns caused by immature lungs.

A

Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome (IRDS)

17
Q

At what age it it most common to see IRDS?

A

babies born at 37-39 weeks

18
Q

At what age it it most uncommon to see IRDS?

A

babies born After 39 weeks

19
Q

What causes IRDS?

A

lack of surfactant

20
Q

What do these babies not have surfactant?

A

It has not developed yet before their born

21
Q

What is surfactant

A
  1. Slippery substance in the lungs
  2. Helps the lungs fill with air
  3. Keep air sacs from deflating
22
Q

Other than premature birth, what else can cause IRDS?

A

genetic problems with lung development

23
Q

IRDS Symptoms

A
  1. Tachypnoea ( >60)
  2. Tachycardia (>160)
  3. Cyanosis
  4. Nasal Flaring
  5. Grunting
  6. Apnea/dyspnea
  7. Chest wall recessions (suprasternal, intercostal, subcostal)

25
Q

What does the teacher compare surfactant to?

26
Q

What increases risk IRDS?

A

The more premature the higher the risk

27
Q

What is surfactant composed of?

A
  1. phospholipid
  2. protein
  3. carbs
28
Q

What produces and secretes surfactant?

A

Alveolar type II cells

29
Q

What does surfactant do?

A

Lower surface tension

30
Q

Characteristics of the lung in IRDS pts

A
  1. Rigid
  2. Edema
  3. Alveoli are collapse
31
Q

One of two major types of lung cancer that can affect smokers and nonsmokers.
A group of lung cancers that behave similarly.

  3. Large Cell Carcinoma: Rapid growth and late symptoms
34
Q

Adenocarcinoma vs. Squamous Cell Carcinoma vs. Large Cell Carcinoma: Origin

A
