Test 3: Wk11: 2.3 Mechanisms of Ventilation - Dasgupta Flashcards
5 Obstructive diseases
emphysema
asthma
bronchitis
CF
COPD
5 Restrictive Diseases
Pulmonary fibrosis
sarcoidosis
silicosis
asbestosis
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Restrictive diseases characterized by
low lung compliance or increased stiffness of the lung and increased recoil
Obstructive Dz characterized by
high airway resistance
Asthma
chronic inflammatory disorder of airways characterized by airflow obstruction
Bronchitis
inflammation of mucous membranes of bronchi
Cystic Fibrosis
causes thick, sticky mucus build up in the lungs and GI
caused by mutation on CFTR gene
COPD
coexisting emphysema and chronic bronchitis
narrowing of airways and shortness of breath
pulmonary fibrosis
chronic dz that causes swelling and scarring of alveoli and interstitial tissue
scar tissue replaces healthy tissue and causes inflammation
Sarcoidosis
dz in which abnormal collections of chronic inflammatory cells form as nodules in the lungs or lymph nodes.
silicosis/ asbestosis
pulmonary fibrosis due to long term exposure to silica and asbestos
Wegener’s Granulamatosis
presence of pulmonary nodules
coin lesions
Wegener’s Granulamatosis
normal FEV1
80% FVC
FEV1 is an estimate of
airway resistance because it depends largely on flow rate
FEV 75% to 25% is
the slope between 75% and 25% on the FEV graph
Low FEV 1 and FEF 25-75% are diagnostic of
obstructive pulmonary disease
FEV1 / FVC normalizes FEV1 to
body size
in obstructive disease FVC is
lower
in obstructive disease FEV1 is
lower
FEV1 / FVC in obstructive
decrease
FEV1 / FVC in restrictive
normal to increased
why is FEV1 higher in restrictive disease than obstructive
in restrictive a small volume of air is expired quickly because of low compliance
