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
Actual Restrictive Diseases
We will cover the following Subtopics:
- Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
- Cancers
- MSK
- NMSK
- Pulmonary Edema
- Connective Tissue
- PNA
- Traumatic
- Alteration in Thoracic/Abdominal Pressure Balance
- Others:
S/S Restrictive Lung Disease
- Tachypnea OR dyspnea
- Dry, nonproductive cough
- Cachectic
- mm wasting/atrophy
- Hypoxemia
- DECd breath sounds
- DECd PFT
- DECd diffusing capacity
- R. sided HF or cor pulmonale
- DEC TLC
- INCd work breathing
More S/S Restrictive Lung Disease
See chart
Changes in Lung Volumes and Capacities
Restrictive vs. Normal vs. Obstructive
see chart
PFT
see chart
NOTE: SAME but smaller ratios
NOTE: FEV1/FVC for Restrictive will be HIGHER
Tx Measures for Restrictive Diseases
- Supplemental O2
- Exercise
- CORTICOSTEROIDS—-control Inflammation!!! (you will see this OFTEN)
- Smoking cessation
- avoid exposure to irritating stimulus/noxious stim.
- Pulm hygiene tech’s ===secretion mgmt
- diaphragm strenghtening
- IMT
- good nutrition
- cytotoxic drugs
- lung transplant for IPF
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Babies
old name== Hyaline Membrane Syndrome
What is it???
- dis. of prematurity OR lack of complete lung maturation
- lack of surfactant (allows alveoli to open/close) and inadequate surfactant production
- Diffuse micro-atelectasis
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Tx
- Mom’s Milk!!!
- surfactant replacement therapy
- Extracorpeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
- blood O2’d outside of body
- Corticosteroids to mother BEFORE birth
Normal ventilation
vs.
Ventilators
Normally==> Neg. pressure—suction
Ventilators==> Pos. pressure–PUSH air in–barotrauma–this irritates lungs
What do we WANT to see on Chest X-ray for babies??
Sail Sign
+ Respiratory Distress Syndrome
*babies
see pics
Clinical Manifestation of Respiratory Distress Syndrome
See chart
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Dysplasia==altered growth/production
what is it and what is the cycle?
- Chronic respiratory distress syndrome > 1month
-
Cycle:
- Scarring of lung tissue –> fibrosis–> thick alveolar walls–> segmental atelectasis (collapsing of alveoli)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic== do not know where came from
Fibrosis==scar tissue, difficulty O2 diffusion
What is it and Etiology??
- Inflammatory process of alveolar wall
-
Etiology:
- patchy focal lesions scattered, chronic inflamm. changes –> epithelial damage–> scarring –> become fibrotic
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Tx
- Corticosteroids
- you will see this w/ anything INFLAMMATORY
- Cytotoxic drugs
- smoking cessation
- maint. adequate oxygenation/ventilation
- good nutrition
-
for EVERY lung disease
-
supports extra mm contracts.
- extra breathing tools!
-
supports extra mm contracts.
- w/ Restrictive disease, pts are using a LOT of fuel so NEED TO EAT but they do not WANT to eat
-
for EVERY lung disease
- Tx infection
- lung transplant
Idiopathic Pulm Fibrosis
Normal lungs vs. Lungs w/ Pulm Fibrosis
see pics
Chronic Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis
*starts w/ irritant*
- interstitial lung dis. caused by inhalation of coal dust==fibrotic changes in lungs
-
Tx
- cessation of exposure
- nutrition
- intervents to ensure adeq. oxygenation/vent.
- progress. ex.
Asbestosis
*macrophages try to eat asbestos===MORE inflammation
asbestos is indestructible
- Diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrotic disease due to inflammation from asbestos exposure
- long latency pd. after exposure of 15-20yrs
-
Tx: no cure
- symptomatic support
- dis. progresses even when exposure ceases
Bronchiolitis Obliterans
Popcorn lung disease
*attacks DISTAL airways—-> terminal bronchioles
- fibrotic lung dis. affects small airways
- Pediatrics: assoc’d w/ viral infection
- Adults: assoc’d w/ toxic fume inhalation, viral, bacterial, mycobacterial and connect. tissue dis.
- Necrosis of resp. epithel
- inner lining lungs
-
Tx:
-
Children
- supportive–> hydration, O2, postural drainage
- Adults
- O2, fluid balance, corticosteroids
-
Children
Atelectasis
What is it and types?
- Incomplete expansion of lung OR loss of volume
- Types:
- Primary
- Obstructive
- Post-op
- Compression/Collapse
- Chest radiograph shows opacification (whiteness) OR collapsed lung and elevated hemidiaphragm
Atelectasis
Prevention:
Tx:
- Deep breathing
- incentie spirometry
- coughing
- early mobility
- DEC sedation
Tx: chest tube
Mechanisms of Atelectasis
- Something pushing on lungs —cannot expand
- ==Atelectasis
- tracheal deviations
See pics
- Pneumothorax
- Air
- collapsed lung
- Hydrothorax
- Fluid
- Compression
- Tumor
- Obstruction
Open Pneumothorax
vs.
Tension Pneumothorax
- Open:
- Air can still get in and out
- Tension
- Life-threatening emergency
- One-way door
- Continue to inhale only bc no way for air out
Pneumonia
PNA
What is it and types
- inflamm process of lung parenchyma (site of gas exchange)
- Begins as infection in the lower resp. tract
-
2 types:
-
Community acquired
- CAP
- Hospital acquired
-
Community acquired
Pneumonia
Can be ____ and _____
Most common routes?
Can be bacteria and virus
-
Most common routes of infection:
- inhalation—breathe something in
- aspiration–choke–something down wrong tube==infection
