Restrictive Lung Diseases Flashcards
What are the four types of RLD?
- Acute intrinsic
- Chronic intrinsic
- Chronic extrinsic
- Other (obesity)
Define RLD
anything that interferes with normal lung expansion during inspiration
- affects both lung expansion & compliance*
- cannot increase lung volume in proportion to increased alveolar pressure*
Principle features of RLD (4)
reduction in TLC
decrease in all lung volumes & capacities
NORMAL FEV1/FVC RATIO
reduced DLCO
Classification of RLD by TLC
65-80 % = mild
50 - 65% = moderate
< 50% = severe

Acute intrinsic (define; anesthesia considerations)
abnormal movement of intravascular fluid
- lung volume:
- anesthetic considerations: not relieved by oxygen, HTN, tachycardia, diaphoresis
Chronic intrinsic
pulmonary fibrosis
- lung volume:
- anesthetic considerations:
Chronic extrinsic
traumatic vs non-traumatic
- lung volume:
- anesthetic considerations:
Pulmonary edema
ACUTE INTRINSIC
- cardiogenic pulmonary edema = butterfly pattern on CXR; hydrostatic
- non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema = hydrostatic, permeability
Starling’s Law
Q = K(Pc - Pi) - ( πc - πi)
flow = fluid filtration coefficient
capillary hydrostatic - ISF hydrostatic
oncotic pressure capillary - oncotic pressure ISF
S/S Cardiogenic PUlmonary edema
rapid, shallow breathing not relieved by oxygen.
htn, tachycardia, diaphoresis
Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Elevated Pc
K changed
causes: neurogenic, uremic, high-altitude, upper airway obstruction
Negative pressure pulmonary edema
Caused by an obstructed upper airway with a prolonged, forceful inspiratory effort against an obstructed upper airway in spontaneously breathing pt
S/S NPPE
SNS stimulation - increased afterload, HTN, central volume displacement (increased CVP, JVD, gallops)
- bradycardia b/c hypoxic
- seesaw breathing, tachypnea
- hypoxemia
NPPE RF
male, young, overzealous fluid admin, hx cardiac or pulmonary dx
NPPE onset
minutes - hours
Treatment of NPPE
oxygen will not help (but we still give it)
PEEP or CPAP
vasodilator to decrease preload
optimize fluids
Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema examples (4)
aspiration pneumonitis
pneumonia
ARDS
TRALI
What are the three aspiration syndromes?
chemical pneumonitis (mendelson’s syndrome), mechanical obstruction, bacterial infection
What is mendelson’s syndrome?
pneumonitis from perioperative aspiration producing an asthma-like syndrome
pharmacologic prophylaxis doesn’t change outcome
greatest frequency during intubation or emergence
RF for mendelson’s syndrome
abdominal pathology, obesity, hiatal hernia DM, neuro deficit lithotomy, c-section difficult intubation GERD inadequate anesthesia
Pathophys of mendelson’s syndrome
aspirated substance –> lung parenchyma injury –> inflammation –> secondary injury in 24h
Clinical features of mendelson’s syndrome
arterial hypoxemia give CPAP
anesthetic considerations for mendelson’s syndrome
RF, NPO standards, pharm prophylaxis, cricoid pressure, awake intubation, regional
Mendelson Treatment
- tilt head down or turn
- rapid suction of mouth/pharynx
- supplemental O2
- PEEP (APL valve)
- Abx not recommended
Acute Respiratory Failure
PaO2 < 60 mmHg despite O2 supplementation
PaCO2 > 50 mmHg in absence of respiratory compensation
most common cause –> ARDS
ARDS goals (3)
patent upper airway
correct hypoxia
remove CO2
ARDS physiology
insult to A/C membrane causing increased capillary permeability and subsequent interstitial and alveolar edema
ARDS RF
sepsis, pneumonia, trauma, aspiration
S/S ARDS (4)
dyspnea, hypoxia, hypovolemia, lung stiffness
