Question
Answer
At what point is a cough considered chronic?   6 weeks  
🗑
Coughing up blood from the lungs   Hemoptysis  
🗑
What is the number one cause for dyspnea?   Anemia  
🗑
What are general causes of dyspnea other than an obstructive or restrictive lung complication?   Anemia, Metabolic Acidosis (compensated for by breathing out CO2), pregnancy, etc.  
🗑
What are cardiac causes for dyspnea?   CHF, pulmonary HPT  
🗑
What pulmonary diseases are identified as Obstructive?   Asthma, COPD, Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis, Bronchiolitis  
🗑
What pulmonary diseases are identified as Restrictive?   Infections, Occupational disorders, Drugs disorders, Sarcoidosis, Kyphoscoliosis  
🗑
What happens to each of the following in Obstructive Pulmonary Disease? VC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, RV   VC: decreases FEV1: decreases FEV1/FVC: decreases RV: increases  
🗑
What happens to each of the following in Restrictive Pulmonary Disease? VC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, RV   VC: decreased FEV1: decreased FEV1/FVC: no change RV: decreases  
🗑
What identifies a cough as productive?   If something is coughed up  
🗑
What are the 3 common causes of chronic cough?   Post Nasal Drip Reflux Asthma  
🗑
What are the two possible sources for hemoptysis? How do they differ?   Pulmonary circulation which is low pressure and develops slowly. Bronchial circulation which comes directly off the aorta has high pressure and is the cause of quick and dangerous bleeds.  
🗑
If an individual has a hemoptysis caused by a bronchial circulation bleed roughly how much blood will be coughed up?   about 600ml/day  
🗑
What conditions would be responsible for pulmonary or bronchial hemoptysis?   Pulmonary: Lung infx, Bronchitis, Small Pulmonary embolism. Bronchial: Cancer, Mycetoma, Vasculitis  
🗑
Why don't small pulmonary embolisms cause lung infarcts?   Because of two blood sources in the lungs, and anastomoses between the two, should the pulmonary circulation be clogged the bronchial circulation can substitute.  
🗑
What conditions tend to be found in the lungs of smokers?   COPD Lung Cancer Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis Desquamatous Interstitial Pulmonitis Eosinophilic Granuloma  
🗑
What pulmonary conditions can be related to an individual's occupation?   Asthma Pneumoconioses from asbestos, silica, mining Farmer's lung  
🗑
What pulmonary conditions tend to run in families?   Asthma & allergies Cystic Fibrosis Emphysema (alpha antitrypsin deficiency) Pulmonary Embolism (thrombophilias) Sarcoidosis Pulmonary HPT Bronchiectasis  
🗑
What is normal for FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC?   FVC: >80% FEV1: >80% FEV1/FVC: >70%  
🗑
If the FEV1/FVC ratio is less than 70% what is this indicative of?   Obstructive Disease  
🗑
How does the right bronchus differ from the left bronchus?   Right is wider, steeper, shorter and tends to be the location that foreign bodies get stuck. The left is narrower, longer, and horizontal  
🗑
What makes up the acinus of the lung?   Distal to the terminal bronchiole. It is made up of Respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolus.  
🗑
What type of cells are found proximal to the respiratory bronchioles in the airways?   Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium  
🗑
What makes up the defense mechanism in the major airways?   Mucin and cilia  
🗑
Type II pneumocytes produce 4 types of surfactant. What does each do?   A & D set off innate immunity B & C reduce surface tension  
🗑
When does a baby's body begin making surfactant   Week 28  
🗑
A state in which the lung, in whole or part, is collapsed or without air?   Atelectasis  
🗑
What are the four types of atelectasis   Resorption Compression Contraction Loss of surfactant (neonatal)  
🗑
What is the cause of resorption atelectasis?   complete airway obstruction. The distal trapped air is reabsorbed through pores of kohn leading to collapse of portion of the lung.  
🗑
What type of atelectasis is the most common cause of fever 24-36 hrs following surgery?   resorption atelectasis  
🗑
resorption atelectasis results in what clinical findings?   Ipsilat. deviation of the trachia and diaphragm elevation. Absent breath sounds and vocal vibrations (tactile fremitus) in that region.  
🗑
What is the cause of compression atelectasis?   Air or fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity leading to collapse of the underlying lung.  
🗑
What clinical findings are associated with compression atelectasis?   trachea and mediastinum shifting away from the affected side  
🗑
What are the two components of surfactant?   Lipoproteins (lecithin & phosphatidylylycerol) and surfactant proteins  
🗑
What hormones increase surfactant production? Decrease it?   Increase = cortisol and thyroxine Decrease = insulin  
🗑
What conditions/situations might lead to RDS development in babies?   Prematurity Maternal diabetes Cesarean section (stress of vaginal birth increases cortisol which increases surfactant)  
🗑
How do alveoli begin to appear histologically in neonatal atelectasis?   Become smaller due to the genesis of hyaline membranes forming  
🗑
What clinical findings are found in neonatal atelectasis?   distress respiratory acidosis ground glass appearance on Xray  
🗑
What is the danger of respiratory acidosis in neonates?   acidosis is a negative inhibitor of surfactant production. It also leads to vasoconstriction and then endothelial and epithelial damage. Hyaline formation begins at this point.  
🗑
What is the cause of contraction atelectasis   fibrotic changes (not reversible)  
🗑
How is acute and chronic pulmonary edema differentiated histologically?   Acutely it will appear as a pink fluid in the alveoli; however, in chronic edema heart failure cells are present  
🗑
What are the injuries that can result in pulmonary edema?   Cardiac complications that increase hydrostatic pressure or a nephrotic/liver complication that decreases osmotic pressure.  
🗑
What type of fluid is found in pulmonary edema?   transudate (little protein)  
🗑
What is the cause of ARDS?   Non cardiogenic pulmonary edema resulting from acute alveolar capillary damage. Most commonly: Sepsis Lung infection Gastric aspiration Trauma  
🗑
What is the prognosis of ARDS?   60% mortality rate  
🗑
What cells and cytokines are involved in ARDS?   Neutrophils being attracted into alveoli Macrophages secreting PAF, Leukotrienes, Proteases, TNF, IL-8  
🗑
In ARDS what is mainly seen in: first 24 hours first week second week   First 24 hours: edema First week: formation of hyaline membrane second week: interstitial inflammation and fibrosis  
🗑
