Lecture 25: Upper Airway and Pulmonary Parenchymal disease Flashcards
(85 cards)
What is considered upper airway
Nose to larynx
what is considered lower airway
trachea to alveoli
describe Stridor
continuous high pitched noise due to restriction of airflow
what phase of respiration is stridor heard
inspiratory most commonly but can be both
where does stridor localize to
larynx or extra thoracic trachea
stridor Is exacerbated with __ and __
exercise, panting
describe stertor
discontinuous low pitched sound
think _ and __ with stertor
snoring, brachycephalics
Stertor is more pronounced at
rest
describe crackles
discontinuous popping sounds most audible during inspiration
popping in crackles=__
alveoli opening
what causes crackles
due to fluid in alveoli leading to decreased surface tension—> collapse
what diseases is crackles associated with
lower airway disease; bronchopneumonia, pulmonary edema, pulmonary hemorrhage, pulmonary fibrosis
describe wheezes
continuous low volume high pitched sound on expiration
what are some diseases associated with wheezes
asthma, chronic bronchitis
if you hear no resp sounds ventrally what wrong
fluid accumulation
if you hear no resp sounds dorsally what wrong
air accumulation- pneumothorax
what is an obstructive respiratory pattern
increased airway resistance or pressure necessary to generate airflow
What are some causes of obstructive breathing pattern
- Extrathoracic obstruction- laryngeal mass, laryngeal paralysis, nasal/nasopharyngeal mass
- Intrathoracic obstruction- asthma/bronchitis, mucus plug, intrathoracic tracheal collapse
if there is an extrathoracic obstruction causing obstructive resp pattern what phase of respiration is affected
increase inspiratory effort, time and noise
if there is an intrathoracic obstruction causing obstructive resp pattern what respiratory phase is affected
increase expiratory effort, time and noise
what is a restrictive resp pattern
decreased lung compliance/difficulty expanding lungs during inspiration
what are some diseases associated with restrictive resp pattern
bronchopneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, pleural space disease, neoplasia
what is breathing like with restrictive resp pattern
rapid and shallow breathing, increased inspiratory and expiratory effort
