Restrictive Lung Disease Flashcards
What does restrictive lung disease cause a decrease in
Total lung capacity
2 major categories of restrictive lung disease
Intrinsic
Extrinsic
What causes intrinsic restrictive lung disease
Lung parenchyma inflammation and scarring
What causes extrinsic restrictive lung disease
Abnormal function of chest wall, pleura, and neuromuscular apparatus
Which type of restrictive lung disease decreases alveolar-arterial gas transfer, and leads to exudate and debris in lungs
Intrinsic
Which type of restrictive lung disease causes impaired ventilator function and respiratory failure
Extrinsic
DPLD
Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases
Is interstitial lung disease a type of intrinsic lung disease or is intrinsic lung disease a type of interstitial lung disease
Interstitial is a type of intrinsic
3 major interstitial lung diseases
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Sarcoidosis
Pneumoconiosis
Are interstitial lung diseases usually common or rare
Rare
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis risk factors
Smoking
Chronic viral infections
Abnormal acid reflux
Family history
Why is breathing and oxygen exchange restricted in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Scarring/honeycombing of lungs
What causes scarring and honeycombing of lungs in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Collagen deposits and fibrotic plaques
What is believed to cause idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Decreased epithelial cell integrity
Accelerated age associated changes
Exaggerated fibroblast expansion
What lung changes are caused by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Traction bronchiectasis
Alveolar remodelling - collagen + fibrotic plaques
Parenchymal fibrosis
