Q

Types of pulmonary sequestration

A

Extralobar
Common in infants
Associated with congenital annomalies
Intralobar
Occurs in lung
Common in older children
Due to recurrent localized infections or bronchiectasis

Q

Resorption or obstructive atelectasis features

A

It’s reversible
Occures at bronchial level due to excess secretion of mucus or exudates or due to tumors in bronchial asthma
Bronchitis etc..
Clinical feature is mediastinum moves towards the affected lung

16
Q

Compression atelectasis

A

It’s due to accumulation of fluids in Pleural space
Clinical feature, mediastinum moves away from affected lung

17
Q

Contraction atelectasis

A

Focal pulmonary atelectasis or fibrosis of pleura
Prevents full expansion
Irreversible

18
Q

Pulmonary edema features and causes

A

Excessive interstitial fluid in alveoli
Hemodynamic disturbances
Increased capillary permeability due to microvascular injury
Pulmonary congestion

19
Q

Causes of hemodynamic edema

A

Increase in hydrostatic pressure
Most common in left sided heart failure
Initially seen in basal region of lower lobes
Hemosiderin laden macrophages are seen

20
Q

Non cardiogenic or microvascular or alveolar injury causes

A

Injury in alveolar septa

21
Q

Acute lung injury

A

Abrupt onset of hypoxemia and bilateral pulmonary edema

22
Q

Acute interstitial pneumonia is common and has worst prognosis seen in

A

Chronic alcoholic and smokers

Q

Cells injured in ALI

A

First endothelial cells
Pneumocytes

24
Q

Hyaline membranes are formed from
