What are PFT findings in obstructive disease
FEV1 is diminished because of increased airway resistance to expiratory flow
AND
FEV1/FVC ratio less than 85%
what are PFT findings in restrictive disease
FEV1 and FVC are both reduced proportionally and the ratio may be normal or even increased as a result of decreased lung compliance
what should be the FEV1/FVC ratio of a normal child?
> 85%
what PFT test is more sensitive for obstructive small airway disease
FEF25-75% or FEF25-50%
What is FEV1 useful for?
FEV1 can be an indicator of current obstruction and predict risk for future exacerbations
how is reversibility determined?
Reversibility is determined either by an increase in FEV1 of at least 12% from baseline
what is CCAM?
cystic adenomatoid malformation
what are features of CCAM
CYSTIC
dysplastic lung tissue mixed with normal
usually in only one lobe
3 types
how do CCAM present?
newborn or early infancy:
resp distress
infections
PTX
what are CXR findings consistent with CCAM?
Cystic
mediastinal shift AWAY
how do we manage CCAM
needSx before 1 yr
may have Ca changes
What are CF of congenital lobar emphysema?
neonate - 6 mo
spectrum of resp distress
if bad - cyanosis
how do we Dx congenital lobar emphysema?
many Dx antenatal LUL MC ( upper/middle lobe) Overdistended lobe mediastinal shift away atelectasis of good side
what is pulmonary sequestration?
lung tissue in a sequestration
INTRALOBAR mc
SOL
has own bld supply
may have gastric or pancreatic tissue in it
usually associated with diaphragmatic hernia
where are pulm sequestraton usually found
left
lower
