Lung Path Flashcards
which bronchi is straight
right
what size particles are most dangerous
.5-5um
lobule
cluster of terminal bronchioles w/attached acini
acinus
respiratory bronchiole and all attached alveolar ducts and sacs
pulmonary hypoplasia
common 10% neonatal autopsy
seen w/fetal compression and other anomalies
congenital foregut cysts
detached section of maldeveloped foregut presents as mass or incidental finding, possibly in adulthood mediastinal and hilar locations not connected to airway usually bronchogenic w/respiratory epi some esophageal, some enteric
cystic adenomatoid malformation
CPAM
Hamartomatous lesions w/abnormal bronchiolar tissue
types of CPAM
type I- large cysts good prognosis
type II- medium cysts, poorer prognosis since associated w/other congenital malformations
bronchopulmonary sequestrations
areas of lungs w/o normal connections to airways
blood supply is from systemic aa
extralobar bronchopulmonary sequesterations
external to lung
may have other congenital anomalies
intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestrations
w/in lung
associated w/recurrent local infection and/or bronchiectasis
most likely an acquired lesion
respiratory distress in newborn
excessive maternal sedations fetal head injury blood or amniomtic fluid aspiration intraunterine hypoxia from cord hyaline membrane disese
hyaline membrane diease stats
most common
1000 deaths in 2002, but 25000/year in 60s
hyaline membrane disease
can occur in term infants, but usually preterm
rate inversely proportional to gestational age
associated w/males, materal DM, multiple gestations, and c-section before onset of labor
immature lungs
deficiency of surfactant
alveoli development
20wks- glandular
30wks- saccular
term- alveolar
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
> 28 days of O2 therapy in infant >36weeks post mentrual age
alveolar hypoplasia and thickened walls
dysmorphic capillaries and decreasesed VEGF
cytokines (TNF, IL8, etc)
increased and may have role
cystic fibrosis
widespread disorder in epi transport affecting fluid secretion in exocrine glands and epi of resp, GI, and repro tracts
viscid secretions
autosomal recessive
CFTR gene chrom 7
most common lethal genetic condition in Caucasians
Dx criteria for CF
one or more characteristic phenotypic features or a Hx or CF in sibling or positive newborn screening test
AND
an increased sweat chloride on 2+occasions or 2CFTR mutations or demonstration of abnomral epi nasal ion transport
Tx of CF- pancreas
oral pancrelipase
may progress to DM
Tx of CF- vit deficiency
oral fat soluble vitamins
parenteral nutrition
Tx of CF- pulomonary
postural drainage and chest percussion bronchcodilators mucolytic agents Antibiotics hypertonic saline high dose ibuprofen slows lung disease progression
apparent life threatening event (ALTE)
if survive at risk for future respiratory death
prolonged apnea, diminished responses to hypercarbia or hypoxia
often premature or have mechanical disorders leading to compromise
no longer considered true SIDs
atelectatsis
incomplete expansion- neonatal
acquired collapse- adults can be due to: resorption/obstruction, compression, or contraction
ALL AT RISK FOR INFECTION
resorption/obstruction atelectasis
airway obstruction, mucus, foreign body, tumor
mediastinal shift toward involved lung
