Restrictive lung diseases Flashcards
Parenchymal lung disease
Alveolitis-extrinsic and intrinsic
interstitial lung disease
pulmonary fibrosis
chest wall diseases
Pleural
skeletal deformities
obesity
neuromuscular
Skeletal abnormalities
kyphoscoliosis scoliosis ankylosing spondylitis pectus excavatum pectus carinatum diaphragmatic paralysis obesity
chest wall diseases (physiological abnormalities)
increase WOB, restricted lung volumes, exercise limitations, VQ mismatch, hypoventilation
Kyphoscoliosis
twisting of spine, distortion of thoracic cage
idiopathic is the most common form
adolescence
poliomyelitis was most common cause
kyphosis
little effect on lung function
diaphragm and rib movement uniform
Kyphoscoliosis (physiological abnormalities)
gradual resp failure carbon dioxide accumulation chronic resp acidosis hypoxia corpulmonale
Kyphoscoliosis (general)
reduction in TLC and VC NO obstruction of airflow V/Q mismatch Hypoxemia, Corpulmonale Decrease chem drive to breath
Scoliosis (general)
lateral deviation of the spine
attention to good posture may be effective in preventing the disorder in children + adults
Scoliosis (etiology)
congenital - spina bifida
aquired
Scoliosis (types)
idiopathic - most common type (adolescence)
functional (postural) - develops temp, correctable
structural - changes in spine structure (by arthritis)
paralytic- develops by neurological disease, polio
Scoliosis (pathology)
localized/whole areas of the spinal column
curves are S or C shaped
Cardiac or pulmonary restrict possible
effects gait
Scoliosis (clinical)
slight, mild, severe
early deformity not obvious sometimes
clothing not fitting correctly.
no pain usually
Scoliosis (Postural/early)
amenable to exercise or exercise combined with traction - Cotrel’s traction
less than 40 degrees
milwaukee brace, risser cast or halofemoral or halopelvic traction
Scoliosis (management)
corrective surgery when curve exceeds 40 degrees and bracing fails Harrington rod instrumentation Dwyer instrumentation- Luque instrumentation Cotrel-Dubosset
Harrington rod instrumentation
series of rods and hooks that apply compression to the posterior spinal elements
Dwyer instrumentation
titanium cables passed though heads of titanium screws embedded in the vertebral bodies
Luque instrumentation
two L shaped rodes and a series of sublaminar wires that apply transverse traction to the vertebral bodies
used with Harrington rod instrumentation
