32
Q

how many calories are needed for copd patients

A

3000 per day

33
Q

What are the benefits of Lung volume reduction surgery

A

parts are resected to reduce hyperinflation respiratory muscles can be more effectiv and incre mech effication

34
Q

What can Brethine be used for

A

Terbutaline
bronchodilator
used for bronchospams

35
Q

Can asthma be transfered throght genetic

A

yes

36
Q

What happens during asthma? (how is asthma discribed)

A

inflamations which casues edema, increase fluid leakage (mucus secreation)and smooth muscle thickening
leads to intermittent airflow abstruction
Hyperresponsiveness of airway

37
Q

CBC during asthma attack would show increase of what wbc

A

eosinophillia, serum igE sputum eosinophils

38
Q

Nonpharm strategies for asthma

A

smoking cessation
avoid NSAIDS
Remove sensitizer
encourage regular activity (advise to to use inhalier first)

39
Q

Treatment in special populations should asthma treatment be given to pregnancy

A

yes benefit out weigh risk

40
Q

Daily Controller Medications for step1

A
None needed
SABA prn ( no more than 3-4 x day)
41
Q

Daily Controller Medications for step2

A

low dose ICS

also Theophyline or cromone or leukotriene mods

42
Q

Daily Controller Medications for step3

A

low to medium ICS and LABA

43
Q

Daily Controller Medications for step4

A

High ICS plus LABA plus one or more of the following:

  • SR theophylline
  • Leukotriene modifier
  • Long acting oral beta2-agonist (brethine)
  • Oral glucocorticosteroid
44
Q

—indicates what % of the total FVC was expelled from the lungs during the first second of forced exhalation

A

FEV1/FVC

45
Q

Measures if treatment is effective in improving airway diseases such as COPD.

A

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR)

46
Q

A measure of how much air can be exhaled from the lungs. It is an indicator of large airway obstruction

A

Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF)

47
Q

This value represents the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first 25% of the total forced vital capacity test.

A

FEF25

48
Q

This measurement represents the total amount of air expelled from the lungs during the first half (50%) of the forced vital capacity test.

A

FEF50

49
Q

This measurement is representative of the total amount of air exhaled from the lungs during the middle half of the forced vital capacity test. Many clinicians refer to this value because of it’s indicative of an obstructive lung disease.

A

FEF25%-75%

50
Q

Functional Vital Capacity—normal is

A

80% or greater

51
Q

Force expiratory volume in one second FEV1%– normal

A

80 or greatter

52
Q

the FEV1/FVC % ratio

A

greater than 0.7 or 70% is normal

- If 69% or less indicated of obstructive disease

53
Q

PEF (peak expiratory flow)—

A

assesses ventilator capacity– index of the activity of the disease process (more in Asthma`

54
Q

forced expiratory flow at 25–75% of FVC (FEF25–75%)

A

commonly cited as an indicator of small airways obstruction

55
Q

complete PFTs can be ordered to assess

A

obstructive dysfunction
lung volumes,
air trapping,
gas exchange abnormalities

56
Q

Asthma Exacerbation that come into ED what should the steps be to treat

A

Duonebs every 20min for 3 doses then every 3 to 4 min

  1. provide O2 6-8L/min
  2. Brethine subq for bronchspasm
  3. iv/oral steroid
  4. Heliox
  5. Intubation
  6. ECMO (status asthmaticus with no improvement and po2 decreas)
57
Q

Most allergen are encountered where

A

indoors

58
Q

Ominous asthmatic signs

A

fatigue
cyanosis with increased PCO2 (normal or elevated)
paradoxical chest/abdominal movement
signs of impending failure

59
Q

the volume of gas contained in the lung at the end of maximal inspiration

A

total lung capacity

60
Q

the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation

A

residual volume

61
Q

measurement of the lungs ability to add oxygen to the blood and extract carbon monoxide from the lungs. The lower the value, the more likely you will become SOB during exertion

A

Diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide

62
Q

With asthma Hospitalization is recommended when FEV1 is

A

FEV 1 is less than 30% or less than 40% after hour of vigorous therapy

63
Q

Person having asthma attack comes in, peak flow is less than 60 liter/minute what should be recommended?,. After hour of treatment what should be recommend next

A

Hospitalization is recommended for patient with ashtma that has a peak flow less than 60 liters/min or doesnt improve over 50% after hour of treatment

initial labs of ABG showing respiratory alkalosis show

A

hypoxia on ABG
