|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radiographic finding of DAD | Diffuse alveolar and interstitial infiltrates in all lung fields. Radiographic characteristics overlaps with images of severe bilateral pneumonia or severe pulmonary edema.
🗑
|
||||
| Pathological hallmark of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) | Diffuse Alveolar Damage (DAD)
🗑
|
||||
| Pathophysiology of DAD | Process is initiated by an insult to capillary endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells, which results in V/P shunting, atelectasis, pulmonary edema/hemorrhage, and hyaline membrane formation that impairs gas exchange leading to severe hypoxia.
🗑
|
||||
| Describe the relationship between pressure, alveolar radius, and surface tension | P (pressure) = 2T(Tension)/r (alveolar radius). Surfactant lowers T as r decreases during expiration, so that less P would be required to rexpand the alveoli
🗑
|
||||
| What percentages of patients survive ARDS with little or no residual disease? | 25%
🗑
|
||||
| Favorable Prognostic Factors in ARDS | (1) High PaO2 on room air (2) Increase in PaO2 with 10 cm of PEEP
🗑
|
||||
| Indications for Mechanical Ventilation | (1) PaO2 < 60 mmHg (on O2 mask) (2)A-a gradient >400 on 100% FIO2 (3) RR> 35/min (4) TV < 4 ml/kg
🗑
|
||||
| What does an increased A-a gradient indicate? | It is a value used to help determine the cause of hypoxemia. Normal value < 5mmHg (ranges 5-20 mmHg). Increased A-a gradient suggests either (1) diffusion defect (2) V/Q(ventilation/perfusion) defect (3) right to left shunt.
🗑
|
||||
| Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) | A syndrome of airflow obstruction consisting of two pathologic processes: Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
🗑
|
||||
| A pulmonary disease characterized by persistent cough with sputum production for at least 3 months in at least 2 years. Chronic exposure to irritants leads to hypersecretion of mucus. Inflammatory response is sustained by secondary infections. | Chronic Bronchitis

🗑
|
||||
| Complication of chronic bronchitis | Cor pulmonale
🗑
|
||||
| A lung pathology characterzied by abnormal permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to terminal bronchials, accompanied by destruction of the wall supporting those air spaces. | Emphysema
🗑
|
||||
| Etiology of chronic bronchitis | Inhalation of chronic irritants. Cigarette smoke is the most common irritant followed by air pollution.
🗑
|
||||
| Histological findings of emphysema | Loss of alveolar parenchyma characterized by free floating fragments or attenuated alveolar septa and alveolar walls
🗑
|
||||
| (T or F) Severity of COPD is not dose-dependent | False
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Type of emphysema that occurs in young non-smoking patient with an early clinical onset of COPD or has a family history of emphysema. | Hereditary anti-protease enzyme deficiency
🗑
|
||||
| Inheritance pattern of anti-protease enzyme deficiency | Autosomal recessive
🗑
|
||||
| Anatomical distribution of emphysematous changes seen in the lung in smokers | Centrilobular distribution. Predominantly the upper lobes and apices.
🗑
|
||||
| What area of the lung are emphysematous changes most apparent in anti-protease enzyme deficient patients? | Lower lobe
🗑
|
||||
| What are the effect of tobacco smoke on immune cells and alpha1 antitrypsin enzymatic activity? | (1)Tobacco smoke particles are phagocytozed alveolar macrophages. (2) Neutrophils are recruited and elastases are released by neutrophils (3) Alpha1 antitrypsin is inactivated by oxidants and free radicals in tobacco smoke.
🗑
|
||||
| Function of Alpha1 anti-trypsin | Antiprotease enzyme that inhibits actions of elastases released by neutrophils
🗑
|
||||
| A pattern of lung injury seen in patients with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency especially in conjunction with cigarette smokingon of emphysematous changes | Panlobular Distribution of emphysematous changes
🗑
|
||||
| A pattern of lung injury characterized as emphysematous changes limited to the distal acinus. Usually seen adjacent to scarring and fibrosis. Tends to localize subadjacent to the pleural, which can cause a spontaneous pneumothorax. | Paraseptal Distribution of emphysematous changes
🗑
|
||||
| What is Irregular Emphysema? | Irregular involvement of the acinus with scarring. Usually a complication of various inflammatory processes (TB or histoplasmosis). These findings are usually not clinically evident.
🗑
|
||||
| Pulmonary Function Test Abnormalities characteristic of COPD | (1) Dec FEV1 (2) Dec Vmax (3) Dec MMEF
🗑
|
||||
| (T or F) Peptic ulceration is a complication of COPD | True
🗑
|
||||
| Lung disease characterized as wide spared narrowing of the bronchi and small airways which change in severity over short periods of time | Asthma
🗑
|
||||
| A variant of asthma characterized by reactions mediated by type I hypersensitivity involving IgE. Begins in childhood and is associated with hay fever and eczema. | Extrinsic type Asthma
🗑
|
||||
| A variant of asthma not associated with history of allergy. Begins at any age. Induced by psychogenic factors, cold, infection, or exercise. | Intrinsic type Asthma
🗑
|
||||
