Restrictive and Obstructive Lung Dysfucntion Flashcards
bronchitis
Severe hypoxemia
<75% SaO2
<40 mmHg PaO2
Tuberculosis S & S
if symptomatic,
- usually cough (unproductive)
- and fever,
- night sweats,
- weight loss;
- poss dyspnea;
- crackles w/poss bronchial BS is consolidation
Abnormal permanent dilation of bronchi and bronchioles. Destruction of elastic & muscular bronchiole walls:
Bronchiectasis
Hypocapnia:
Low PaCO2 = hyperventilation
Blood clot lodges in pulmonary artery
Pulmonary Embolism
Mild hypoxemia:
90 - 94% SaO2
60-79 mmHg PaO2
Symptoms of COPD:
- Dyspnea on exertion (DOE)
- Chronic cough
- Expectoration of mucus
- Wheezing
types of bronchiectasis
● Cylindrical (longitudinal)
● Varicose
● Saccular (cystic)
(chronic condition where the walls of the bronchi are thickened from inflammation and infection)
In restrictive diseases, what are the most marked lung volumes decreases?
IRV and ERV
true or false: both restrictive and obstructive pulmonary diseases may present with cor pulmonale.
true
Hypercapnia S & S:
- Increased HR and BP
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Confusion or loss of consciousness
- Muscle twitching and tremor
Altered expiratory flow rate, increased RV, increased airflow resistance, loss of elastic recoil, increased work of breathing (WOB):
result of the COPD’s inflammatory response
Moderate hypoxemia:
75 -89% SaO2
40 - 59 mmHg PaO2
Signs of hyperinflation can be seen in which three COPD diseases?
emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma.
True or false. V/Q mismatch can be a cause of impaired oxygenation
true
An increase in CO2 in the body will:
● ____________ pH
● ____________ ventilation
- decrease PH (acidosis)
- increases ventilation (to get rid if CO2)
Hypocapnia S & S
- Lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Inability to concentrate
- Tingling
- Impaired conciousness
Describe the characteristic pathologic changes in emphysema.
- Destruction of septal walls of alveoli
- Loss of elastic recoil
- Destruction of vascular bed
- Fusion of adjacent alveoli producing large abnormal airspaces (blebs or bullae)
emphysema
Normal persons use ___VO to support work breathing
<5%
In tuberculosis, the immune system usually surrounds the TB to form a____
granuloma
Decrease in the size of the bronchial lumen
causes increased resistance to airflow resulting in hyperinflated lungs – air gets trapped behind
collapsed bronchial walls
COPD
Nomal hypoxemia range :
>95%
80-100 mmHG PaO2
emphysema radiograph:
flatten diaphragm
enlarged R side of heart (cor pulmonale)
hyper-lucent lungs (darker)
Patient has 80% SaO2 in the blood. This is considered…
moderate hypoxemia
A look at obstructive and normal lung volumes:
Hypercapnia:
Increased PaCO2 = hypoventilation
occurs when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall (pleural cavity)
pneumothorax
Bronchityis S & S:
- Inflammation of the bronchi
- Blue bloater
- Barrel chest
- Morning expectoration
- Chronic cough, productive sputum
Trasnmition of tuberculosis is by
inhalation of droplets that become airborne, usually with cough or sneeze
Hypocapnia is PaCO2 of less than
35 mmHg
hypoxemia
low PaO2 in the blood
Abnormal, irreversible enlargement of airways distal to terminal bronchioles
Emphysema
- Centriacinar/lobar, panacinar, paraseptal →based on location of anatomic disruption
Hypercapnia is a PaCO2 of more than_____
45 mmHg
Inflammatory process of alveolar wall. Scarring leads to stiffness (decreased compliance)
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Signs of restrictive pulmonary diseases:
- Tachypnea
- Hypoxemia
- Diminished BS
- Adventitious BS
- Decreased lung volumes
- Decreased diffusion capacity
- Cor Pulmonale (Right hearth failure): hearth overloads
oxygen toxicity (high concentrations) can cause
- interstitial lung disease
- alveolar edema and hemorrhage with atelectasis
- Need to keep Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) <40%.
Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease
(GOLD)
to increase awareness of COPD
an inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs in the body, but mostly the lungs and lymph glands
sarcoidosis
in Cystic Fibrosis what is the key to its treatment?
Bronchial hygiene is key!!!!
In COPD, obstruction affects mechanical function or does it affect gas exchange?
both
Cor pulmonale
- abnormal enlargement of the right side of the heart as a result of disease of the lungs or the pulmonary blood vessels.
- Sign of both COPD and restrictive
______________of the lung is simply a “solidification” of the lung tissue due to accumulation of solid and liquid material in the air spaces that would have normally been filled by gas. The most common cause of ___________is pneumonia – inflammation of the lung – as cellular debris, blood cells and exudate collects in the alveoli (air sacs) of the lung.
Consolidation
