Restrictive Lung Disease Flashcards
(100 cards)
Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment for acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema?
a. albuterol breathing treatment
b. PEEP
c. colloids to increase oncotic pressure
d. surgical intervention
b. PEEP
Definition of restrictive lung disease
any condition that interferes with normal lung expansion during inspiration
Principle feature of RLD
reduction in total lung capacity
normal FEV1/FVC ratio
the limit in lung expansion and chest excursion results in a
limited area for gas diffusion
increase in hypoxemia leads to changes in
pulmonary vasculature
Mild classification of RLD by TLC
65-80% of predicted TLC
Moderate classification of RLD by TLC
50-65% of predicted TLC
Severe classification of RLD by TLC
<50% of TLC
normal tidal volume
500 mL
normal IRV
3000mL
normal ERV
1100 mL
normal RV
1200 mL
TLC = ___ + ____
VC + RV
RV = ____ - _____
FRC - ERV
VC = ___ + ____ + ____
IRV + Vt + ERV
FRC = ____ + ____
ERV + RV
Acute intrinsic RLD
abnormal movement of intravascular fluid
ex. pulmonary edema
Chronic intrinsic RLD
pulmonary fibrosis
Chronic extrinsic RLD
traumatic vs non traumatic
Other classifications of RLD
Obesity, pregnancy
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
acute intrinsic RLD
pump failure
“butterfly” pattern on cxray
issue with hydrostatic pressure
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
acute intrinsic RLD
from aspiration, altitude changes, head trauma, chest trauma, poor anesthesia techniques
issue with hydrostatic pressure, permeability of capillary
Starling’s Law
Flow = K [(Pc - Pi) - o(nc - ni)]
net flow is out!
explains the flow of fluid and filtrates in and out of capillaries
Arterial end per starling’s law
net filtration pressure POSITIVE
water, oxygen, nutrients pushed OUT
