Question | Answer |
---|---|
What lab values indication obstructive pulm fxn | decreased FEV1 and decreased FEV1/FEV ratio less than 56% |
What lab values indication restrictive pulm fxn | FEV1/FVC ratio greater than 70% |
what are the two types of asthma | Intrinsic and extrinsic |
What causes intrinsic asthma | anxiety, no exposure to atigen |
What causes extrinsic asthma | exposure to atigen in environment |
What medication is prescribed for mild intermittent asthma | Beta 2 agonists inhalers |
What is considered mild persistent asthma | night s/s 3-4 days/month |
How to dx COPD | with H&P, CXR, PFT and ABG |
What do PFTs show in COPD | decrease FEV1 without response to bronchodialators |
Where does the damage occur in lung with emphysema | At alveoli, causes issue with expansion |
Where does the damage occur in lung with C. Bronchitis | at the airway, due to mucus |
S/s of emphysema | Air trapping, increased AP diameter, barrel chest |
S/s of chronic bronchitits | wheezing, rhonchi, cyanosis at skin and MM |
What is FVC | the volume that can be exhaled, amount of air that the patient can forcefully inspire and expire |
What is FEV1 | Amount forcefully exhaled in 1 second |
What does the FEV1/FVC ratio determine | Normal, obstructive or restrictive |
What equals total lung capacity | Residual volume, and FVC |
How do you deterime restrictive pulm fxn | Look at TLC if less than 80%, restrictive |
Normal lung should be able to exhale what % of the forced vital capacity (FVC) in the first second | 80% |
imple spirometry can be used to measure any of the following EXCEPT | Residual Volume |
How many % must the FEV1 increases after bronchodialtors to show that it is reverseable | 12% |
What is the normal range for FEV1 | 80-120% |
What is normal range for FVC | 3-5L |
What destroys the lung’s elastic resulting in decreased recoil | Inflammatory process due to lack of surface area |
What is umber one cause for emphysemas inflammatory reactions | Irritant, smoking |
What contributes to airway damage and mucus production | Cytokines from Inflammatory process |
Which obstructive plm disease is typically reversible | Asthma |
Which obstructive plm disease is non-reversible | COPD |
How do you determine if something is reversible | PFT, after bronchodialtor has been given, increase of 12% |
What happens to tissue in restrictive plm disease | Reduced compliance with lung tissue |
What prevents lung from expanding in restrictive | typically scar tissue formation or structrual damages |
What are common diseases associated with restrictive lung disease | ILD, obesity, neuromuscular causes and scoliosis, pulmonary fibrosis |
spirometry results indicate restrictive lung disease | FEV1, FVC, and total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio normal. |
