Q

Active process

Inspiration

A

Diaphragm: Convex at rest, flattens during contraction elongating the thoracic
cavity
- External Intercostals: Contraction lifts the ribs upwards and outwards,
expanding thoracic cavity, important for deep inhalations
- Accessory muscles of respiration: scalene, sternocleidomastoid

Q

Passive process

Expiration

A
  • Chest wall and lungs are elastic and naturally return to their resting state
  • Expiratory muscles used only during exercise, forced expiration and disease states
  • Abdominal muscles: rectus abdominis, internal and external obliques increases the abdominal pressure and pushes the diaphragm up, drawing air out of lungs
  • Internal intercostals muscles: pull the ribs down and inwards decreasing the thoracic volume.

Q

Mechanism of pulmonary ventilation

A
  • When no movement (pressure inside and outside is equal)
  • inhale (pressure inside decreases so air flows in)
  • exhale ( pressure inside increases so air flows out)

  • volume remaining in the lungs after normal tidal expiration
21
Q

A
  • volume that can be taken into lungs after maximal inspiration after normal expiration
22
Q

COPD pulmonary parameters

A

FVC: Normal/decreased
FEV1: decreased
FEV1:FVC ; decreased
FEF 25-75: decreased

23
Q

Restricitve pulmonary disease

A

FVC: decreased
FEV1: decreased
FEV1:FVC ; normal/increased
FEF 25-75: normal/increased/ decreased

24
Q

FEF 25-75

A

forced epiratory flow at 25-75% of FVC

25
FEV1:
forced expiratory volume in the first second of exhalation
26
Restrictive pulmonary disease
chest wall deformities, interstitial processes due to collagen-vascular disease, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and interstitial fibrosis
27
Obstructive pulmonary disease
asthma chronic bronchitis cystic fibrosis emphysema bronchiactasis
28
Spirometry patterns
Normal: ~80% FEV1:FVC Obstructive: <80% Restrictive: >80%
29
Asthma
- spastic contraction of the smooth muscle in the bronchioles - chronic inflammatory disorder - causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night and in the early morning
30
Intermittent asthma
Normal FEV1 between exacerbations; FEV1 > 80% predicted; FEV1/ FVC normal.
31
Mild asthma
FEV1 ≥ 80% predicted; FEV1/ FVC normal
32
Moderate asthma
FEV1 > 60% but < 80% predicted; FEV1/ FVCreduced 5%.
33
Severe asthma
- FEV1 < 60% predicted; FEV1/ FVC reduced > 5%
34
Drugs for asthma
- inhaled B2 agonist (bronchodilator) - SABA (albuterol) - LABA + inhaled corticosteroids
35
corticosteroids
- Block inflammatory reaction and effective in reducing asthma symptoms. - prednisone
36
Anticholinergics
- Block acetylcholine from causing smooth muscle contraction and producing excess mucus in the bronchi. - Ipratropium - tiotropium
37
ADR of B2 agonist
tachycardia, skeletal muscle tremor and hypokalemia.
38
ADR of corticosteroids
short-term use – weight gain, hypertension. long-term use – diabetes, muscle weakness
39
ADR of anticholinergic
Vision changes, dry mouth, heart rhythm disturbance, postural hypotension, and cognitive problems (confusion)
40
Emphysema
- Refers to the distention of the air spaces distal to the terminal bronchiole with destruction of alveolar septa. - Associated with cigarette smoking, urban living and pollution
41
chronic bronchitis
- persistent cough with sputum production for at least 3 months for 2 consecutive years. - Associated with Infections cigarette smoking, air pollution and genetic factors
42
Bronchiectasis
abnormal permanent dilatation of airways due to chronic necrotizing infection and obstruction
43
Pulmonary fibrosis
- replacement of lung tissue with fibrous connective tissue, making the lungs stiff and difficult breathing - Caused by exposure to asbestos, silica, coal dust etc.
44
Cystic fibrosis
- Is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the gene for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) - Lack of ion transport prevents water from entering the mucus making it viscous and thus increasing likelihood of infections - Sweat of CF patients contains high level of NaCl
45
Pneumonia
- - Lung parenchyma/alveolar inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid. - Caused by bacteria like Strep. Pneumonia, H. influenza, Klebsiella, staph viruses
46
Restrictive pulmonary disease
- cannot fully fill their lungs with air. Their lungs are restricted from fully expanding - results from a condition causing stiffness in the lungs themselves.
47
COnditions that can cause restrictive lung disease
- Interstitial lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - Sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease - Obesity, including obesity hypoventilation syndrome - Scoliosis - Neuromuscular disease, such as muscular dystrophy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
