Unit 9 - Restrictive Lung Diseases Flashcards
What are some general characteristics of restrictive lung disorders
Lung expansion is restricted
Deep inspiration is affected
Decreased lung volume
What are some extrapulmonary conditions that can effect lung expansion
Chest wall surgery NM disorders Pectus carinatum and excavatum Scoliosis Ankylosing spondylitis Diaphragmatic paralysis Obesity
Describe tidal volume
Amount of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal resting breath
Describe Inspiratory reserve
Max amount of air that can be inhaled above tidal volume
Describe expiratory reserve
Max amount of air that can be exhaled below tidal volume
Describe residual volume
Amount of air remaining below expiratory reserve
Describe total lung capacity
Combination of all 4 lung volumes
Describe inspiratory capacity
Combination of tidal and inspiratory reserve
Describe functional residual capacity
Combination of expiratory reserve and residual volume
Describe vital capacity
Combination of inspiratory reserve, tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume
Describe FVC
Amount of air with max breath in and out
Describe FEV1
Volume of air exhaled in 1 second
What is the normal range for FEV1 / FVC
75% - 85%
Describe the pathology of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
Chronic inflammation injures normal lung tissue
Tissue is replaced with fibrous tissue which impairs lung function
What are some symptoms of Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
Fatigue
Dyspnea on exertion
Tachypnea
Cough
