Which pneumocytes produce surfactant
T2
Max development of surfactant IuL
35th week
HMD treatment
Mild- CPAP
Severe- IMV+ surfactant replacement
Types and pathology of PAP
Impaired clearance of surfactant by macrophage
Primary- GMCSF Ab ( x macrophages)
Secondary- silicosis (x macrophages)
Investigations in PAP
BAL- Milky white/ PAS +
CXR- Diffuse fine reticulo-nodular infiltrates radiating from the hilum**
CT- CRAZY PAVING
MC bronchus for BXIS
Left main bronchus
(Horizontal, narrow—stasis of secretions-inflammation )
MC in babies
Mc lobe for aspiration overall/supine
RLL Superior»_space; RUL Posterior
Mc lobe for aspiration standing/sitting
RLL Posterior
Mcc if hemoptysis
TB
Mcc if massive hemoptysis
BXIS
Massive hempotysis criteria
> 150ml/ episode
> 400-600ml/day
Mccd hemoptysis
Aspiration of blood clot
Mx persistent hemoptysis
Brochial artery embolization
Resection of affected lobe
Pulmonary artery embolization (rare)
Pneumocytes having dividing capability
T2
Majority of pneumocytes
T2
Pneumocytes covering maximum area of lung
T1
Airway obstruction is prominent during?
Expiration (exp wheeze)
Inspiration is an active process- can overcome obstruction easily comparatively
Factors preventing collapse of alveoli
During expiration
Elastase—(a1 antitrypsin)
Surfactant
Emphysema features
Early- bulla, air trapped in alveoli/ inc RV FRC TLV
Late-Complete encircling of inflammation—decreased oxygen transport to blood
Ideal o2 flow rate and sat for COPD
1-2L/min
88-92%
Mechanisms of hypoxia
VP mismatch (emph/pte)
Shunt (cardiac/pulmonary)
(Pulm= pneum/ILD/Fibrosis/Atelectasis—damaged alveoli)
Diffusion defect (T1RF)
Hypoventilation(T2RF)
Rx for Intra pulmonary shunt/ damaged alveoli
IMV
Supplementary oxygen doesnt work
DLCO normal range and formula
Inhaled CO-Exhaled CO
70-90%
Alveolar conditions causing decreased DLCO
Emphysema
ILD
Fibrosis
Pneumonia
