Restrictive vs Obstructice Lung Disease Flashcards
1
Q
Restrictive Lung Disease (RLD)
A
- Respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, resulting in decreased lung volume
- Can’t get air in
2
Q
Restrictive Lung Disease Findings
A
- Decreased chest wall expansion
- Feeling of not getting enough air
- Presence of secondary MSK or neuromuscular condition impacting breathing
3
Q
Restrictive Lung Disease Treatment
A
- Diaphragmatic breathing
- Segmental breathing (therapist place hands over part of lung area and ask patient to breath into hand to help patient breath properly)
4
Q
Restrictive Lung Disease Conditions
A
- Pleurisy
- Pleural fibrosis
- Pneumothorax/hemothorax
- Atelectasis
- Pneumonia
- Pulmonary Edema
- Pulmonary Fibrosis
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- High level SCI
- Burns
- Scoliosis
- Neuro conditions (MG, GB, ALS, PD)
5
Q
Pleurisy (Pleural Effusion)
A
- Fluid buildup between pleura
6
Q
Pleural Fibrosis
A
- Pleural space tissues thicken and stiffen
7
Q
Pneumothorax
A
- Lungs collapse and air leaks in
8
Q
Hemothorax
A
- Blood buildup in pleural cavity
9
Q
Atelectasis
A
- Lung collapse
10
Q
Pneumonia and Pulmonary Edema
A
- Fluid buildup in lungs
11
Q
Pulmonary Fibrosis
A
- Scarring of lung tissue
12
Q
Obstructive Lung Disease
A
- Narrowing of bronchial tree, destruction of alveoli, and resulting in air trapping and increased residual volume
- Can’t get air out
- Alveolar walls lose their elasticity which leads to air just spinning inside alveolar sacs, and air is unable to get out because walls are too elastic
13
Q
COPD Conditions (Obstructive Lung Disease)
A
- Asthma
- Bronchiectasis
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Emphysema
14
Q
Obstructive Lung Disease Findings
A
- Increased subcostal/costophrenic angle
- Hyperlucency on radiograph
- Depressed diaphragm on radiograph
- Barrel cheating (increased A-P diameter)
15
Q
Obstructive Lung Disease Treatment
A
- Pursed lip breathing
- Paced breathing
- Tripod breathing
