Restrictive Lung Disease Flashcards
Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment for acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema?
a. albuterol breathing treatment
b. PEEP
c. colloids to increase oncotic pressure
d. surgical intervention
b. PEEP
Definition of restrictive lung disease
any condition that interferes with normal lung expansion during inspiration
Principle feature of RLD
reduction in total lung capacity
normal FEV1/FVC ratio
the limit in lung expansion and chest excursion results in a
limited area for gas diffusion
increase in hypoxemia leads to changes in
pulmonary vasculature
Mild classification of RLD by TLC
65-80% of predicted TLC
Moderate classification of RLD by TLC
50-65% of predicted TLC
Severe classification of RLD by TLC
<50% of TLC
normal tidal volume
500 mL
normal IRV
3000mL
normal ERV
1100 mL
normal RV
1200 mL
TLC = ___ + ____
VC + RV
RV = ____ - _____
FRC - ERV
VC = ___ + ____ + ____
IRV + Vt + ERV
FRC = ____ + ____
ERV + RV
Acute intrinsic RLD
abnormal movement of intravascular fluid
ex. pulmonary edema
Chronic intrinsic RLD
pulmonary fibrosis
Chronic extrinsic RLD
traumatic vs non traumatic
Other classifications of RLD
Obesity, pregnancy
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
acute intrinsic RLD
pump failure
“butterfly” pattern on cxray
issue with hydrostatic pressure
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
acute intrinsic RLD
from aspiration, altitude changes, head trauma, chest trauma, poor anesthesia techniques
issue with hydrostatic pressure, permeability of capillary
Starling’s Law
Flow = K [(Pc - Pi) - o(nc - ni)]
net flow is out!
explains the flow of fluid and filtrates in and out of capillaries
Arterial end per starling’s law
net filtration pressure POSITIVE
water, oxygen, nutrients pushed OUT
Venous end per starling’s law
net filtration pressure NEGATIVE
veins pick up excess water, carbon dioxide, and wastes from ISF and excess enters the lymph
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema patho and S/S
Hydrostatic issue, pressure on arterial end excessive
left sided incompetence or failure = increased pulmonary capillary pressure until rate of transudation exceeds lymph drainage = alveolar flooding
S/S: rapid shallow breathing NOT relieved by O2, sympathetic stimulation (HTN, Tachycardia, diaphoresis)
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema patho
Filtration issue
caused by upper airway obstruction with a prolonged forceful inspiratory effort against an obstructed upper airway in spontaneously breathing patients
negative pressure = sympathetic stimulation = increase afterload = HTN = central volume displacement
commonly caused by laryngospasm following extubation
negative pressure pulmonary edema
predisposing factors: young males, long period of obstruction, overzealous fluid administration, hx of cardiac or pulmonary disease
onset: few minutes - hours
S/S: rapid shallow breathing
respiration deals with
gas exchange
ventilation deals with
the mechanics of breathing, movement of air
anesthestic management of pulmonary edema
oxygen, PEEP or CPAP, meds to decrease preload (vasodilators), fluid balance (diuretic)
non cardiogenic permeability issues
aspiration pneumonitis, pneumonia, ARDS, TRALI
3 aspiration syndromes
chemical pneumonitis, mechanical obstruction, bacterial infection
mendelson’s syndrome
pneumonitis from perioperative aspiration
produces asthma like syndrome
pH and volume of gastric material (1.5mL/kg for humans, pH <2.5)
predisposing factors for mendelson’s syndrome
abdominal pathology, obesity, diabetes, neuro deficit, lithotomy position, difficult intubation, reflux, hiatal hernia, inadequate anesthesia, c-section
greatest frequency is during intubation or emergence
mendelson’s syndrome patho and anesthestic considerations
patho: aspirated substance causes lung parenchyma injury, inflammatory reaction (2nd injury w/in 24 hours)
anesthetic considerations: risk factors, NPO, pharm prophylaxis, cricoid pressure, awake intubation, regional
Treatment of mendelson’s syndrome
tilt head down or turn, rapid suction of mouth, supplemental O2, PEEP
Acute respiratory failure
inability to provide adequate O2 and eliminate CO2
PaO2 < 60 despite O2 supplementation
PaCO2 >50 in absence of respiratory compensation
ARDS common cause
three principal goals of acute respiratory failure
patent upper airway, correction of hypoxia, removal of excess CO2
ARDS definition and risk factors
insult to the alveolar capillary membrane causing increased capillary permeability and subsequent interstitial and alveolar edema
risk factors: sepsis, pneumonia, trauma, aspiration pneumonitis
