Week 8 Flashcards
4 endotypes of COPD
- eosinophilic

- persistent bacterial colonisation
- persistent systematic inflammation
3 COPD phenotypes
- frequent exacerbations
- persistent breathlessness
- chronic bronchitis
3 T1RF signs

pleural abrasion
staple blebs
3 pleural effusion examination signs
clubbing
ascites
lymphadenopathy
3 features of parapneumoic effusion
- LDH over 1000
- Glucose less than 2.2
- ph less than 7.2

5 clinical signs of pleural effusion
- decreased chest expansion
- decreased tactile fremitis

OSA defintion
recurrent partial or complete airflow obstruction during sleep, intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation
measure for OSA
apnoea hypoxia index
ap+hypop / total time asleep
normal 0-4
moderate 15-29
OSA symtoms
excessive daytime sleepiness with 2 +: choking decreased concentration recurrent awaking fatigue unrefreshing sleep
apnoea
decreased airflow of over 90% for at least 10 seconds
hypopnea
dressed airflow of over 30% for at least 10 seconds
pathophysiology of OSA
pharyngeal narrowing
negative thoracic pressure
increases BP
decreases sleep
epworth sleepiness score
0 to 10 = normal range of sleepiness in healthy adults.
11 to 14 = mild sleepiness.
15 to 17 = moderate sleepiness.
18 to 24 = severe sleepiness
2 quizzes in OSA
stop bang
berlin
oxygen desaturation index
no of times per hour that spo2 goes less than 4% from baseline
compliance in CPAP
over 4 hours for over 70 days
what is wheeze
narrowing
allergy
what is stridor
whistling inspiration
4 histological changes in asthma
- subepithalial fibrosis
- smooth muscle hypertrophy
- thick BM
- mast cell
