Q

Explain Restrictive Lung Disease:

A

Restrictive: Interstitial problem that causes trouble breathing in (small stiff lungs)

Chest X-Ray: reticulonodular pattern, ground glass appearance
Most common cause of death is Cor-pulmonale
Treatment: PEEP ventilator, increased O2, increased respiratory time
