Restrictive pulmonary disorders Flashcards
Restrictive disorders characterized by
- affects lung parenchyma, pleura or thoracic pump
- inspiration difficulty
- decreased lung or thoracic compliance
- diagnostic measure via decreased volumes or capacities related to reduction in ventilation, decreased lung volume or diminished expansion
Changes in lung volumes with restrictive pulmonary disorders
- TLV is reduced and all other volumes are reduced
- ratios are normal
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
common characteristics
- tachypnea/dyspnea
- hypoexmia
- diminished lung sounds often with dry inspiratory crackles
- decreased diffusing capacity
- decreasedlung volumes/capacity
- cough–usually dry and non-productive
- weight loss/muscle wasting
- pulmonary HTN, RV hypertrophy, COR PULMONARE
- increased work of breathing
- abnomral chest X-ray
- can be a portion of the lung
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Supportive measures
- corrective measure related to the root of problem
- supplemental O2
- nutritional support
- interventions to promote appropriate physical activity
- interventions to prevent accumulation of secretions/infections
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Interventions to promote appropriate physical activity and ventilation
- posture (can be a RPD –scoliosis, kypohsis)
- soft tissue mobilization
- deep breathing/respiratory muscule training
- incentive spirometer
- airway clearance
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Interventions to prevent accumulation of secretions/infection
- airway clearance - postural drainage, percussion, vibration and cough
- antibiotic therapy
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Extrinsic factors
- obesity/pregnancy
- ascites
- surgery/chemo/radiation
- trauma, surger
- flail chest
- pleural-pneumothorax/pleural effusion
- conntective tissue diseases
- neuromuscular dysfunction
- musculoskeletal dysfunction
- pharmaceutical causes
- radiation therapy
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Flail chest
- FX of 2+ ribs with 2 fx on each
- one segment is floating
- move in a peridoxal manner - suck in
- medical emergency
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
pharmaceutical causes of restrictive disorders
- drug supresses drive to breathe
- radiation for cancer can cause scar tissues
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Inrinsic factors
- atelectasis
- pulmonary edema (cardiogenic/noncardiogenic/adult respiratory distress disorder
- maturational causes: abnormalities of fetal development - infant respiratory distress disorder/aging
- idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- environmental or occupational fibrosis
- infection –pneumonia
- cancers
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
trauma causes of restrictive disorders
- crush injuries: results in rib fx, flail chest lung contusions
- penetrating wounds: pneumothorax, hemothorax, pulmonary laceration
- Theramal trauma: burns to thorac/inhalation burns
- surgery: anesthesia, incision, pain
*pneumothorax: penetrate pleural space = air rushes in
air changes the pressure
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
Respiratory changes with aging: changes in the chest wall
- decrease strength of respiratory muscles and chest compliance
- decreased MVV, and increased O2 consumption in respiratory muscles
- increased minute ventilation and work of breathing
- increased respiratory muscle fatigue
- Results in decreased pulmonary efficiency
Restricitive pulmonary disorders
respiratory changes with aging: changes in the lung
- increased alveolar compliance and decreased pulmonary capillary bed
- increase RV, increased physiological deadspace
- decreased VC/decrese V/Q matching
- decreased flow rates and PaO2
- look at picture in powerpoint
abnormalities in fetal development–infant respiratory distress syndrome
- immature lungs and decreased surfacant
- can impact them as they are older due to their development
- infants born less than 36 weeks are at higher risk fo RDS related to immature lungs
- dysplagis/fibrotic changes can occur
Adult respiratory distress syndrome
- increased permeability at the alveoli/capilary membrane
- related to barriers between capilary and alveoli
- noncardiogeneic - failure of microvascular endothelum (increased permability)
abnormalities in fetal development
- Hypoplasia/Aplasia refers to decrease or lack of organ development. Reduces amounts of lung parenchyma
- Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome (hyaline membrane disease)-insufficient maturation of lung tissue/insufficient surfactant development leads to alveolar collapse. Infants born at ˂36 weeks are at high risk forIRDS. Incidence of this is 75% for infants born 26-28 weeks
What does pulmonary edema impact
- alveoli expansion in early stages due to fluid in interstitial space
- then progresses to fluid within alveoli
- OVERALL restricts ventilation
acute respiratory distress syndrome/acute lung injury
- serious clinical syndrome caused by acute lung injury (trauma, sepsis, drug overdose, inhaled toxins, massive blood transfusion, pneumonia)
- characterized by increased permeability at alveoli/endothelial interface, leading to severe hypoxemia, pulmonary edema, and atelectasis
- Damage occurs to the alveolar cells and the vascular endothelium
- Patient develops edema, narrowing of airways, increasedfluid production into alveoli, decreased surfactant production
Sameas adult respiratory distress syndrome
Triggers of ARDS
- pneumonia
- inhalation injury (smoke/toxins)
- aspiration injury
- chest trauma
- near drowning (fluid within alveoli)
- sepsis
- major trauma
- burns
- hypovolemia
- transfusion-related acute injury
Pulmonary Fibrosis disrders:
discrption
- idiopathic, environmental, occupation, viral, genetic causes
- changes within alveoli and between alveoli
- scarring/destruction of lung architecture characterizes the condition
- irreversibly enlarged damged bronchioles and disotred alveoli
- “honeycombing” clustered cystic air spaces
- greatly decreases gas exchange, reducing oxygen transfered into blood

What makes up COVID
- RNA
- nucleoproteins: give virus its structure and enable replication
- Viral envelope: protects the virsu when it is outside host cell
- Spike proteins: allow it to grab onto things like hooks
ACE2 and COVID
- a glycoprotein that resides on the cell surface serves as a receptor site for COVID
- broadly distributed throughout the human body including the kidney, intestine, lung, CV system
- possible endothelial cell dysfucntion
- allows virsl entry and ACE2 normal function is blocked
ACE-2 receptor is the site of cell entry for
- matrix products
- antithrombotic factors
- procoagulant factors
- growth factors
- vasoconstricting factors
- vasodilator factors
- inflammatory mediateors
- lipid metabolism
Post-acute COVID/chronic covid
- originally post-covid was thought to be the short period after ilness
- considered impact of being hospitalized
- Post intensive care syndrome or hospital acquired waekness
- in July 2021 is was recognized as long COVID
- post-covid conditions are a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems that people experience for 4 or more weeks after first being infected with the virus
Long haul COVID
- can be vaired but may appear to have symtposm similar to myalgic encephalitis/chronic fatigue syndreom (MECFS) and postural tachycardiac syndroem (POTS)
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
- long term illness that affects many systems
- etiology unclear
- people with ME/CFS are often not able to do usual activites

Post exertional malaise
- PEM
- symtpoms that exacerbate after physical, mental or emtional effort
Post exertional symptom exacerbation
- PESE
- worsening of symptoms 24-72 hours following exertion
- exertion refers to cognitive, emotional, or social acitvity and is often minimal or at a threshold previously tolerated
energy envelope
- used with PEM,PESE
- the area that one can consistently function without symptoms
Pacing
- strategies that reduce spikes in exertion
- avoid push followed by crash (PEM,PESE)
