Restrictive Lung Disease (CP Revised) Flashcards
in basic terms, what is restrictive lung disease
lungs cannot fully expand
in restrictive lung diseases, what is flail chest
3 or more adjacent ipsilateral ribs (/sternum) are fractured in at least 2 different segments
initial signs of restrictive lung diseases
chronic hyperventilation
what is hyperventilation
blow off too much CO2
in restrictive lung diseases, what does exertional dyspnea move to
dyspnea at rest
is cough effective in restrictive lung diseases
no it is ineffective
what is the breathing pattern like in restrictive lung diseases
rapid and shallow
what type of medication can be used for restrictive lung diseases
corticosteroids
progression in restrictive lung diseases starting with pulmonary artery hypertension (4 total)
pulmonary artery hypertension –> cor pulmonale –> severely decreased oxygenation –> ventilatory failure
what type of disease is pulmonary fibrosis
restrictive lung disease
pulmonary fibrosis is AKA
interstitial lung/pulmonary disease
pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis
chronic inflammation of lung tissue, leading to lung scarring
2/3 patients with pulmonary fibrosis can attribute ____ to the etiology
idiopathic
the other 1/3 can attribute their to… (pulmonary fibrosis)
s/p reactive airway disease due to healing scar tissue
because fibroblasts increase in activity in pulmonary fibrosis, what happens to the lobe at the alveoli
increased fibroblast activity distorts and shrinks lobe at the alveoli = decrease lung compliance
in pulmonary fibrosis, “stiff lung” referes to difficulty…
difficulty diffusing gases across
initial signs of pulmonary fibrosis
SOB and dry cough
is response predictable for pulmonary fibrosis
nope
pneumonconiosis is AKA
Dusty Lungs/Black Lung Disease
what is pneumonconiosis caused by
inhalation of large amounts of industrial substances
pathophysiology of hypersensitivity pneumonitis
exposure to organic dust
what is affected in hypersensitivity pneumonitis
alveoli and distal airways
signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity pneumonitis
quick onset of dyspnea, fever, chills, nonproductive cough
prognosis for hypersensitivity pneumonitis
poor with repeated exposure
what is the most common resultant from noxious gases, fumes, smoke inhalation
local irritation
what is atelectasis
collapse of a normally expanded lung
in atelectasis where can the lung collapse
any level of the lung/all of the lung
primary cause of atelectasis
bronchus obstructed
primary cause of bronchus obstructed in atelectasis
mucus membrane
in atelectasis, what happens to alveolar gas
absorbed in blood
because alveolar gas is absorbed in the blood, what happens to alveoli
it can’t stay open
pulmonary edema AKA
pulmonary congestion
what is pulmonary edema
excessive fluid in the lungs
in pulmonary edema, where does fluid accumulate
interstitial tissue
the incidence of pulmonary edema increases with age in those with…
heart failure
what part of the heart experiences failure with pulmonary edema
left ventricle
pathophysiology of pulmonary edema
fluid from pulmonary vessels leaks into alveolar spaces
because fluid from pulmonary vessels leaks into alveolar spaces, what happens to space of gas exchange with pulmonary edema
decrease space of gas exchange
in pulmonary edema, tissue injury leads to…
fibrosis
in general terms, what is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS)
acute respiratory failure
the incidence of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS) increases with…
new life sustaining measures for serious injury/illness
are any specific ages effected more by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS) than others?
nah
etiology of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS)
systemic or pulmonary insult
in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS), what is inactivated
surfactants
in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndome (ARDS), what happens to fluids, proteins, and blood cells?
they leak
what is atelectasis
collapse of a lung
