Restrictive Lung Disease Flashcards
restrictive lung disease affects the lung’s
expansion and compliance
hallmark of restrictive lung disease
inability to increase lung volume in proportion to an increase in alveolar pressure
restrictive lung disease is typically related to (5)
connective tissue disease, environmental factors, pulmonary fibrosis, conditions that increase alveolar or institial fluid, and diseases that limit excursion of the chest/diaphragm
with restrictive lung disease there is reduced surface area for gas diffusion causing
VQ mismatching and hypoxia
as the lung elasticity worsens, patients become symptomatic due to
hypoxia, inability to clear secretions, and hypoventilation
PFT results in RLD
FEV1?
FVC?
FEV1:FVC ratio
Diffusing Capacity?
reduced FEV1
reduced FVC
normal/increased FEV1/FVC ratio
reduced diffusing capacity
which volumes are decreased with RLD
all of them! Especially TLC
TLC is used to classify restrictive lung disease
whats the difference in mild, moderate, severe disease
MILD: TLC 65-80% predicted value
MODERATE: TLC 50-65% predicted value
SEVERE: TLC < 50% predicted value
pulmonary edema is caused by
intravascular fluid leakage into the interstitium and alveolar space
acute pulmonary edema can be caused by an increased
capillary pressure or increased capillary permeability
T/F on CXR, pulmonary edema appears as unilateral perihilar opacities
false - bilateral, symmetric peihilar opacities
the butterfly pattern on CXR with pulmonary edema is more commonly seen with
increased capillary pressure > capillary permeability
pulmonary edema caused by increased capillary permeability is characterized by a high concentration of
protein and secretory products in the edema fluid
diffuse alevolar damage is present with increased permeability pulmonary edema - and associated with what syndrome
ARDS
cardiogenic pulmonary edema is seen in
acute decompensated HF
characteristics of cardiogenic pulmonary edema
dyspnea
tachypnea
elevated cardiac pressures
SNS activation
when would you suspect cardiogenic pulmonary edema
pt has a decreased systolic or diastolic cardiac function
what increases risk of cardiogenic pulmonary edema
acute increases in preload
* acute aortic regurg and acute mitral regurg
increase afterload or SVR
* LV outflow tract obstruction - mitral stenosis and reno-vascular HTN
what can cause negative pressure pulmonary edema
laryngospasm, epiglottis tumors, obesity, hiccups, OSA
results after the relief of acute upper airway obstruction
T/F a paralyzed/mechanically ventilated patient is capable of creating a negative pressure to draw in fluid
false, spontaneous ventilation is necessary
how long after relief of airway obstructoion will the onset of pulmonary edema be seen
few minutes to 2-3 hours
what pathogenesis is related to the development of negative pressure pulm edema
hella negative intrapleural pressure against an obstructed upper airway
what is the body’s response to the negative pressure from spontaneously breathing against a closed airway
SNS activation, HTN, and central displacement of blood volume
treatment of negative pressure pulmonary edema
supplemental O2 and maintenance of patent upper aiway is usually suffiecint
this form of pulm edema is typically self-limited
mechanical ventilation may be needed for a brief period
how long does it take for negative pressure pulmonary edema to resolve
12-24 hours
neurogenic pulmonary edema develops in which patients
acute brain injury
how long does it take for neurogenic pulmonary edema to occur after CNS inijury
minutes to hours
and may mainfest during the periop period
why does neurogenic pulmonary edema occur
massive outpouring of SNS impulses from the injured CNS resulting in generalized vasoconstriction and blood volume shift into the pulmonary circulation
the increased pulmonary capillary caused by translocation of blood volume leads to transfer of fluid into the ______ & ________
what can occur to the blood vessels
intersitium and alveoli
pulmonary HTN and hypervolemia can injure the blood vessels in the lungs
what predisposes someone to re-expansion pulmonary edema
relief of a pneumothorax or pleural effusion
rapid expansion of collapsed lung
risk of re-expansion pulmonary edema is related to the duration of the collaspse… what time period increases the risk
greater than 24 hour
risk of re-expansion pulmonary edema is related to the amount of air/liquid in the plueral space…. how much air/fluid increases the risk
greater than 1L
what is a risk associated with re-expansion pulmonary edema when managing a patient with a pleural/pneumothorax
rate of re-expansion
what is the factor for development of re-expansion pulmonary edema
high protein content of pulmonary edema fluid suggests enhanced permability as a factor
drug induced pulmonary edema can occur following the administration of what drugs
heroin and cocaine
what causes the pulmonary edema in drug-induced
high permeability pulmonary edema
high protein concentration of pulmonary edema
why might cocaine not be ur best friend
alt Q: what can cocaine cause
causes pulmonary vascoconstriction
acute myocardial ischemia/infarction
T/F a patient that develops opioid induced pulmonary edema can be reversed quickly with Naloxone
false - no evidence shows that naloxone increases the resolution speed
if the pulmonary edema evident on CXR doesnt respond to diuretics what is the differential diagnosis
diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
