obstructive lung disease Flashcards
what are symptoms of COPD
cough
dyspnea
sputum
wheezing
decrease physical activities
cardiac dysfunction
tachycardia
cyanosis
what is gold ABCD staging for
it includes spirometry evaluation of airway restriction as well as evaluation of symptoms and exacerbation
airway limitation=FEV1
evaluation of symptoms = COPD assessment test [CATs]
= Mmrc for dyspnea
Brachial asthma
heterogenous disease characterized by increase bronchial sensitivity, variable airways, obstruction and chronic airways inflammation, caused by allergies and environmental factors
symptoms of asthma
wheezing
shortness of breath
tightness of chest
cough
variable expiratory airway limitation
diagnosis of asthma
measured by spirometry to evaluate airway limitation
FEV1
FVC
peak expiratory flow
the spirometry measurement shows
severity
reversibility
variability
classification of asthma
-allergic
-non allergic
-late-onset
-asthma with chronic airflow limitation
-associate with obesity
bronchiectasis
abnormal irreversible dilation of one or more bronchi due to lungs chronic inflammation
clinical findings of bronchiectasis
chronic cough [productive cough]*
mucoid sputum
shortness of breath
wheezing
weakness/fatigue*
exacerbation with fever
pleuritic chest pain, hemoptysis and malnutrition
cystic fibrosis
autosomal recessive disease that develops as a result of mutation of transmembrane regulator protein
what does mutation in cystic fibrosis affects
-lungs
-pancreas
-sweat glands
-gastrointestinal system
-reproductive system organs
symptoms of cystic fibrosis
-fibrosis
-bronchiectasis
-pancreatic insufficiency
-increased electrolyte level in sweat
-respiratory tract obstruction and infection
chronic bronchitis
It is a clinical diagnosis in patients with
chronic cough and sputum production.
emphysema
It is an abnormal permanent enlargement of the respiratory bronchioles, alveoli, and air sacs.
