Q

Asthma pathophysiology

A

inflammation with increased Mast, Th2 and PMns that release histamine, luekotrienes, prostaglandins and cyotkines (IL4, 5, 9, 13) to cause bronchospasm, mucus secretion, structural changes

Q

LABA vs SABA

A

SABA: Albuterol is 4-6 hour duration and rapid action

31
Q

DLCO in emphysema vs. Chronic Bronchitis

A

emphysema has decreased but normal Bronchitis due to aveolar sparing

32
Q

Pink puffer vs Blue Bloater response to hypoxia

A

36
Q

Gold rating of COPD

A

Mild Ratio is 80

37
Q

Tx of COPD

A

smoking cessation, increase physical activity, overall health preseveration.
GOLd 1-2 that are low risk with low-mod symptoms have SAMB/SABA PRN or LAMA/LABA

38
Q

Bronchiectasis:

A

abnormal dilation of proximal bronchi due to muscular and elsatic components to decrease mucociliary clearance and increase colonization and infection.
Due to frequent bacterial infection in recurrent Px, CF,
Cuases foul smelling sputum, wheeze, hemoptysis, airflow limitation.
Airways are dialted but collapsed.
tx: airway clearance, Antibiotic
