19
Q

Treatment for Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis

A

No cure - Supportive measures

20
Q

Diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrotic disease and alveolitis with plaques resulting from asbestos exposure with latency period of 15-20 years

Risks: Miners, construction, shipbuilders, insulation, pipe fitters

S/S: Dyspnea, recurrent INFECTIONS, chronic cough weight loss, increased risk of cancer

A

Asbestosis

21
Q

Treatment for Asbestosis

A

No cure - Supportive measures

22
Q

Fibrotic lung disease affecting small airways and producing either restrictive and/or obstructive dysfunction. Necrosis of respiratory epithelium in bronchioles that allow fluid/debris to enter and create edema/obstruction to airflow (can lead to atelectasis is full obstruction)

Pediatrics - Caused by viral infection
Adults - Caused by toxic fumes

S/S: Dyspnea, increased RR, hacking/NON-PRODUCTIVE cough, chest wall retractions in infants, CYANOSIS

A

Bronchiolitis Obliterans (Bronchiolitis)

23
Q

Treatment for Bronchiolitis Obliterans

A

Hydration, supplemental O2, clear secretions, postural drainage & suctioning

24
Q

Incomplete expansion (primary) of lung OR loss of volume (obstructive/compressive). Partial or complete collapse of lung due to deflation of alveoli or fluid-filled alveoli causing difficulty with taking deep breaths and coughing effectively

A

Atelectasis

25
Q

Treatment of Atelectasis

A

Deep breathing, incentive spirometry, coughing

26
Q

Inflammatory process of lung parenchyma caused by bacteria/virus/fungi/mycoplasma that begins in LOWER respiratory tract. Most commonly acquired through INHALATION or ASPIRATION

S/S: Decreased lung volume/capacities/compliance, chills, dyspnea, tachypnea, PRODUCTIVE cough, PLEURITIC pain

  4. Ventilator associated
30
Q

SEVERE HYPOXEMIA and widespread inflammation affecting pulmonary tissues. Alveoli become filled with fluid, decreasing compliance and volume (increase workload).

32
Q

Three Phases of ARDS

A
  1. Exudative - Alveoli fill with fluid
  2. Proliferative - Chronic inflammation
  3. Fibrotic - Scar formation due to inflammation
33
Q

Malignant growth of abnormal epithelial cells in bronchus (squamous, small, adenocarcinoma, or large cell). Primary cause is SMOKING or occupational agents

S/S: Chest pain, CLUBBING, dyspnea, UNEXPLAINED weight loss, hypoxemia

35
Q

What is a Pack-Year in regards to smoking?

A

Pack year = 20 cigarettes (1 pack) everyday for 1 year
Ex: 10 cigarettes (1/2 pack) per day for 10 years = 0.5 x 10 = 5
Ex: 20 cigarettes (1 pack) per day for 5 years = 5

Calculate by multiplying # of packs smoked per day by the # of years the person has smoked

36

A

CHF!

Other causes: LVF, cirrhosis, pericardial disease, PE, atelectasis or systemic issues

39
Q

Exudative pleural effusion

A

Increase permeability of pleural spaces leading to fluid leaking between cells. Caused by bacterial or viral pneumonia, infection, SLR, or RA

40
