Unit 3: Restrictive Disease Flashcards

1
Q

What are the common problems with Restrictive Lung Disease?

A
  • Dec compliance due to:
    • stifnes of lung, alveolar compression, thoracic changes, limited diaphragmatic displacement
  • Dec lung volumes and capacities
  • Inc WOB (work of breathing)

Q

What is the treatment for Respiratory Distress?

A
  • Mechanical ventilation → leads to bronchopulmonary dysplasia
  • Supplemental oxygen
  • COntinuous airway pressure
  • Surfactant replacement
  • Medications (sedation and pain relief)

Q

What is Bronchiolitis Obliterans?

A
  • Result of having something else - being exposed to previous infection
  • Fibrotic lung disease that affects smaller airways
  • Can cause both restrictive and obstructive lung disease

Q

What are the two different clinical symtpon presentations? How are they different?

A
  • Bacterial - typically pools and isolates in one lobe (PT’s can treat)
    • rapid onset
    • high fever
    • chills
    • tachypnea
    • dyspnea
    • productive cough
    • leukocytosis
    • pleuritic pain
  • Viral - secretions diffused (PT’s dont treat)
    • moderate fever
    • dyspnea
    • tachypnea
    • Nonproductive cough
    • patchy diffuse infiltrates

Q

How do you treat viral and bacterial Pneumonia?

A
  • Bacterial
    • # 1 Hydration!
    • Antibiotics
  • Viral
    • supportive measures
17
Q

What is Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?

A
  • Fluid & proteins leave capillaries and enter the interstitial fluid and alveoli → as pressure builds up it can damage alveoli
  • Idiopathic - life threatening
  • Variety of causes
    • trauma
    • shock
    • blood transfusion
    • pneumonia
18
Q

What do you treat Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?

A
  • Treat underlying cause
  • Usually put on ventilator
19
Q

What is Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?

A
  • Localize alveoli inflammation → progresses to scarring and fibrosis
  • Alveoli become irregular shape and capillaries damaged
20
Q

What are the clinical signs of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?

A
  • Dyspnea and non productive cough
21
Q

How do you treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?

A
  • Corticosteroids
  • Lung transplant
22
Q

What systems cause Restrictive Lung Dysfunction?

A

All of them

You are ALWAYS a pulmonary therapist!
