Restrictive (Can't get air IN) Lung Dysfunction: Exam 2 Flashcards
Lobular Consolidation
Think Lobe==Large
Lobes are LARGE
Consolidation IN lobes
Lg. amount bc lobes are LRG
*something in lungs that SHOULD NOT be…
Segmental Consolidation
Segments are SMALL
think SMALL amt bc segments are SMALL
Small amt of consolidation
INCd attenuation
**More white in chest x-ray instead of black (Air)
Atelectasis
- Inside lungs
- Collapsed alveoli
- Cond or status lung is in
- inability to fully expand alveoli
- collapsed lung @ alveolar lvl
Pleural Effusions
“fire in the wall”
“Water ON lung”
- Fluid b/w layers of pleura
- IN lining of lungs
- ***remember the fire IN the wall analogy!!!
Pulmonary Edema
“fire in the Room”
fluid IN lungs
- remember the “fire in the ROOM” analogy!!
- Think
- CHF
- Infections
Ventilation
AIR in and out of lungs
Alllllll of these things go along w/ Ventilation
- lung compliance
- elastic recoil
- surface tension
- surfactant
- Inspiratory mm contraction
- intrapleural pressure
- diaphragmatic excursion
Ventilation:
Lung compliance
allows tissue to stretch aka dispensibility of the lungs
Ventilation:
Elastic Recoil
INWARD PULL of lungs back to orig. size
*like when you exhale
Ventilation
Surface Tension
WHY we blow harder into balloon initially
- INWARD pull
- determinant of lung recoil
Ventilation:
Surfactant
Type II Alveolar cells
DECs surface tension
keeps the alveoli from collapsing after exhalation and makes breathing easy.
Ventilation:
Inspiratory muscle contractions create:
OUTWARD pull
Ventilation:
Intrapleural Pressure
when BELOW ATM pressures==> air comes IN
Normally slightly LESS than ATM pressure
Ventilation:
Diaphragmatic excursion
- Diaphragm descends —> sucks air IN
- diaphragm ascends –> pushes air OUT
Remember the elevator analogy as you breathe IN thru nose—-goes DOWN
Diffusion of lungs
tollbooths opening for air to get into lungs
*all of these are tools to get O2 to blood*
- Surface area of the capillary membrane
- Diffusion capacity
- thick capillary-alveolar memb’s
- ability of air to diffuse
- V/Q ratio
- zones of west
-
LOWER LUNGS
- BEST potential to expand BUT last recruited when one breathes
Perfusion of lungs
think BLOOD
- Gravity dependent
- Cardiac output
- CO==HR*SV
**Optimized V/Q is @ MIDZONE in healthy individuals== 0.8
Etiology:
Restrictive Lung Disease
Everything smaller, BUT ratios are the SAME

Pathophysiological aspects of Restrictive Disease
Normal vs. Abnormal Alveolus
Cant get air IN
alveoli cannot Expand
