Week 3 - Restrictive Respiratory Disease/Lung Transplant/P. HTN Flashcards
What is the hallmark of Restrictive Lung disease?
Inability to ↑ lung volume relative to ↑ in alveolar pressure
In Restrictive lung disease:
Lungs are restricted from fully expanding
Principle feature of RLD?
↓ in TLC
What measures of RLD result in Mild, Moderate, or Severe disease?
- Mild: 65-80% of predicted TLC
- Moderate: 50-65% of p. TLC
- Severe: < 50% of p. TLC
Difference between Restrictive Vs. Obstructive LD?
- Restrictive: Cannot fill their lungs
- Obstructive: Cannot exhale all air out
Two characteristics of RLD?
- ↓ in TLC(Lung volume)
- ↑ or normal FEV1/FVC
Two characteristics of OLD?
- ↑ in TLC
- ↓ in FEV1/FVC
What lung volume changes are there in RLD?
↓ in ALL volumes, especially TLC
What are examples of acute intrinsic disease in RLD?
- Alveolar/Interstitial pulmonary Edema
What are examples of extrinsic RLD?
4 + 1
Disorders of the chest wall, pleura, mediastinum
* Mediastinal Mass
* Pneumothorax
* Ankylosing spondylitis
* Muscular Dystrophy
What are some Other examples of RLD?
- OBCT
- Ass-kites
- Pregnancy
Obesity, ascites
What is the acronym and definition for causes of RLD?
- P: pleural
- A: alveolar
- I: interstitial
- N: neuromuscular
- T: thoracic cage abnormalities
Pt population(s) @ risk for RLD?
5
- > 75 years
- African-American
- Females due to sarcoidosis
- Obese
- Smokers
Volume and defnition of FVC?
Forced Vital Capacity (~4,500mL)
* Amount of air forcefully exhaled in one breath
Volume & definition of FEV1
Forced Expiratory Volume over 1 second (3-4L)
What does a FEV1/FVC represent and how is it measured?
Amount of FVC able to expire in 1 second (75-80%)
What kind of disease is present if the FEV1/FVC is normal/↑
FVC & TLC is ↓
DLCO is ↓
Interstitial RLD (inside the lungs)
What kind of disease (& 3 examples) is present if the:
- FEV1/FVC is normal/↑
- FVC & TLC is ↓
- DLCO is normal
Extrinsic RLD
* Neuromuscular disease
* Kyphosis
* Obesity
Anesthetic management of RLD
4
- Avoid drugs w/ respiratory effects in PACU
- Monitor for Pneumothorax
- Cautious use of regional above T10
- Mechanical ventilation improves O2 & ventilation
What factors ↓ FRC?
- General Anesthesia
- Supine Position
- Controlled Ventilation
Anesthetic considerations for pts w/ Chronic ILD?
3
- Caution w/ factors that ↓ FRC
- ↑ uptake of volatiles 2/2 ↓ FRC
- Keep Ppeak/Pplat < 30cmH20 to avoid barotrauma
What are some diseases that qualify as acute intrinsic RLD?
7 +1
The Edemas
* Pulm. edema
* Neurogenic PE
* Cardiogenic PE
* Drug-induced PE
* High-Altitude PE
* Re-expansion PE
* Negative Pressure PE
Two causes of Pulm. edema?
- ↑ capillary pressure (Hydrostatic)
- ↑ capillary permeability
S/s of Aspiration PNA?
5
- Arterial Hypoxemia
- Tachypnea
- Broncospasm
- Acute P. HTN
- ↑ airway pressure
Tx of Aspiration PNA?
4
- O2
- PEEP
- Bronchodilators
- +/- ABX, Steroids
How does neurogenic pulmonary edema occur?
4
Acute brain injury -> inflammatory reaction -> ↑ SNS release -> ↑ pulmonary hydrostatic pressure
