Restrictive and Obstructive Lung Dysfucntion Flashcards

bronchitis
Severe hypoxemia
<75% SaO2
<40 mmHg PaO2
Tuberculosis S & S
if symptomatic,
- usually cough (unproductive)
- and fever,
- night sweats,
- weight loss;
- poss dyspnea;
- crackles w/poss bronchial BS is consolidation
Abnormal permanent dilation of bronchi and bronchioles. Destruction of elastic & muscular bronchiole walls:
Bronchiectasis
Hypocapnia:
Low PaCO2 = hyperventilation
Blood clot lodges in pulmonary artery
Pulmonary Embolism
Mild hypoxemia:
90 - 94% SaO2
60-79 mmHg PaO2
Symptoms of COPD:
- Dyspnea on exertion (DOE)
- Chronic cough
- Expectoration of mucus
- Wheezing
types of bronchiectasis
● Cylindrical (longitudinal)
● Varicose
● Saccular (cystic)
(chronic condition where the walls of the bronchi are thickened from inflammation and infection)
In restrictive diseases, what are the most marked lung volumes decreases?

IRV and ERV

true or false: both restrictive and obstructive pulmonary diseases may present with cor pulmonale.
true
Hypercapnia S & S:
- Increased HR and BP
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Confusion or loss of consciousness
- Muscle twitching and tremor
Altered expiratory flow rate, increased RV, increased airflow resistance, loss of elastic recoil, increased work of breathing (WOB):
result of the COPD’s inflammatory response
Moderate hypoxemia:
75 -89% SaO2
40 - 59 mmHg PaO2
Signs of hyperinflation can be seen in which three COPD diseases?
emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma.
True or false. V/Q mismatch can be a cause of impaired oxygenation
true
An increase in CO2 in the body will:
● ____________ pH
● ____________ ventilation
- decrease PH (acidosis)
- increases ventilation (to get rid if CO2)
Hypocapnia S & S
- Lightheadedness
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Inability to concentrate
- Tingling
- Impaired conciousness
Describe the characteristic pathologic changes in emphysema.
- Destruction of septal walls of alveoli
- Loss of elastic recoil
- Destruction of vascular bed
- Fusion of adjacent alveoli producing large abnormal airspaces (blebs or bullae)

emphysema
Normal persons use ___VO to support work breathing
<5%
In tuberculosis, the immune system usually surrounds the TB to form a____
granuloma
Decrease in the size of the bronchial lumen
causes increased resistance to airflow resulting in hyperinflated lungs – air gets trapped behind
collapsed bronchial walls
COPD

Nomal hypoxemia range :
>95%
80-100 mmHG PaO2
