Q

Risk factors of emphysema? 7

A
  • cigarette smoking, main cause active and passive
  • occupational chemicals and dust
  • air pollution
  • infection
  • hereditary
  • aging
  • genetic susceptibilites
17
Q

Lab and diagnostic testing for emphysema:

A

spirometry is the most common and the way to diagnose emphysema.
- chest xray
-PFT
-arterial blood gases
-later stages= low pao2, higher paco2, lower ph, high bicarb level
- complete blood count, increased hgb in later stages
-ekg

18

A

best way for them to sit is tripod
avoid smoke and pollution
bronchodialator
