Restrictive lung disease Flashcards
In RLD lungs are —–, difficult to —–, and lung compliance is —-
- stiff
- difficult to expand
- decreased
These 4 Lung volumes are decreased in RLD
IRV
tidal volume
ERV
residual volume
In RLD these 3 capacities are reduced
Total lung capacity
vital capacity
Functional residual capacity
breathing is increased due to greater —– pressure
transpulmonary
T or F: RLD is not a disease
True
it’s a dysfunction
PFT in RLD: FVC
FVC ≤ 80%
PFT in RLD: FEV1
FEV1 = low but FVC decline greater than FEV1
PFT in RLD: FEV1/FVC ratio
FEV/ FVC ≥ 80%
clinical signs of RLD are decreased breath sounds, lung volumes and capacities, —– ( related to R sided HF), hypoxemia, —— (related to the thing with R sided HF), and tachypnea
cor pulmonale
pulmonary HTN
symptoms of RLD
( how will this pt. population present)
Dyspnea
cough
weight loss
muscle wasting
Infant respiratory distress syndrome is caused by
not enough surfactant produced
Some causes of RLD
all these intuitively reduce the space in the lungs / decrease airflow
- pulmonary embolism
- pulmonary edema
- pneumonia
- atelectasis
- pleural effusions
- sarcoidosis
Which is more common small lung cell cancer or non small cell cancer ( NSCLC) ?
NSCLC
small cell = super aggressive
which type of cancer is divided into subcategories: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell cancer
non small cell cancer
T or F: pregnancy is a cause of RLD
true
decreased chest wall compliance due to downward excursion of diaphragm
