Untitled Deck Flashcards
Silica can cause restrictive lung diseases
True
An asthma attack is severe when patients demonstrate:
- Breathlessness at rest
Wheezes are loud, Speaks in phrases, Increased respiratory rate
Alveolitis is characteristic of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
True
Frequent respiratory infections can predispose to the development of COPD
True
Most likely deranged pulmonary parameter among COPD patients
FEV1
Effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD patients
- Reduce the frequency of hospitalizations
Increase survival
No effect on symptoms and complications
All of the above
Airflow limitation in COPD is completely reversible
False
FVC is the primary lung function significantly affected in acute attacks of asthma
False
Least likely true of bronchial asthma
Irreversible airflow limitation
Bronchial asthma can be outgrown
True
Airflow limitation in COPD is
Generally irreversible
The primary pathology in chronic restrictive lung disease is reduced lung compliance
True
When daytime symptoms of asthma attacks occur once a month while on salbutamol, severity is
Mild persistent
True of sarcoidosis
- A multisystemic disease
Most commonly affects the lungs
Asymptomatic in many
All of the above
Causes of restrictive lung diseases
- Primary lung diseases
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Kyphoscoliosis
All of the above
Genes are a host factor considered a risk to develop COPD
True
Least likely cause of bronchial asthma attacks
Warm air
Not all that wheezes is asthma
True
Heart failure can mimic asthma
True
True about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Alveolitis is characteristic
Clinical manifestations of COPD include pursed-lip breathing, cor pulmonale, and digital clubbing
True
The ultimate structural consequence in chronic restrictive lung disease is affecting lung parenchymal interstitial lung fibrosis
True
Total lung capacity is reduced in chronic restrictive lung disease
True
Pathologic findings in acute exacerbations of bronchial asthma, except
Alveolar dilatation and destruction
FEV1 is increased in COPD
False
Least likely a risk factor for the development of COPD
Age
True of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Short median survival
Components of a pulmonary rehab program
- Nutrition counseling
Support groups
Breathing retraining
All of the above
Wheezing may be absent when asthma is severe
True
