Pulmonary I

Question 1

Factors involved in maintaining adequate respiration

Answer 1

1. Adequate intake of air
2. Rapid diffusion along alveolar ducts through alveolar walls
3. Adequate perfusion of pulmonary vasculature

Question 2

Type 1 pneumocyte

Answer 2

A

Question 3

Type 2 pneumocyte

Answer 3

Produces surfactant

Question 4

Most common type of tracheal-esophageal fistula?

Answer 4

Type C

Question 5

Atresia

Answer 5

Broken off connection of a hollow viscous

Question 6

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome- primary defect?

Answer 6

Lack of surfactant and lungs won’t open

Question 7

Surfactant deficiency disorder

Answer 7

Hyaline membrane disease of newborn

Question 8

Surfactant deficiency disorder

Answer 8

• Alveoli don’t open because they were born before type 2 pneumocytes started producing surfactant
• membranes form as result of loss of surfactant… This is found in many conditions, not just this condition which is a congenital deficiency in premature babes

Question 9

Surfactant deficiency disorder tx?

Answer 9

Steroids

Question 10

Atalectasis

Answer 10

Finding of a disease process:

Something compresses the lung and no air flow-lung cannot expand

Secretions happen

Bacteria collects there-pneumonia

Question 11

Acinus

Answer 11

Fxnal unit of the lung consisting of the respiratory bronchiole and associated alveolar ducts and alveoli

Question 12

4 main pathologic mechanisms of pulmonary edema

Answer 12

1. Increased venous pressure
2. Increased oncotic pressure
3. Lymphatic obstruction
4. Alveolar injury
