Wheezing is not common
Chest pain is not common |
What is the worst grade of dyspnea | dyspnea at rest |
What are the two divisions of extrinsic restrictive lung disease | nonmuscular-eg kyphoscoliosis
neuromuscular- |
What will you find on physical exam of intrinsic restrictive airway disease | velcro crackles- common in most with interstitial lung disorders
Digital Clubbing- common with IPF
Extrapulmonary findings- Erythema nodosum-sarcoidosis; Raynauds- scelroderma |
What will you typically find on Physical Exam in extrinisic restrictive airway disease | severe kyphoscoliosis
massive obesity
pleural disorders- Decreased tactile fremitus, dullness on percussion, decreased breath sounds
Neuromuscular diseases- accessory muscle use, rapid shallow breathing |
What labs would you order for intrinsic Rest. airway disease | Anemia-Vasculitis |
What labs would you order for ext. rest. airway disease | elevated CK may indicate myositis |
what will you see on chest x-ray if the restrictive disease is intrinsic | reticular pattern "ground glass" increased interstitial markings, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy w/ sarcoidosis |
What will you possibly see on chest x-ray if the disease is extrinisc restricitve | chest wall deformities |
why would you perfrom a bronchoalveolar lavage | to get cells to narrow diagnosis |
If you needed to get a tissue sample for anaylysis from the lung what would you likely perform | lung biopsy |
what is the tx for restrictive airway disease | corticosteroids, immunosuppresive agents and cytotoxic agents
Extrinsic- may need help breathing especially at night and if obese lose weight |
What is IPF | diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
also calle idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis |
What is the pathology of IPF | thickening of interstitium
initially, infiltration with lymphocytes and plasma cells.
later fibroblasts lay down thick collagen bundles
Changes occur irregularly in lung eventually leads to honeycomb lung with destruction of alveolar architecture |
what is the etiologic cause of IPF | unknown may be immunological rxn |
How does it present clinically | affects adults in late middle age
progressive extertional dyspnea, later at rest
non productive cough
on PE, clubbing, fine inspiratory crackles both lungs
develop respiratory failure terminally
disease progression is insidious survival <3yrs |
lung disease characterized by granulomatous tissue is a systemic disease which involes eyes, brain, lungs, bones, kidneys, skin, liver and spleen. non-caseating granuloma composed of histiocytes, giant cells, and lymphocytes | sarcoidosis |
what is the etiology of sarcoidosis | uk, likely immunological basis |
What are the clinical features of sarcoidosis | stage 0: no intrathoracic involvement
stage 1: bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy often w/ arthritis, uveitis, erythema nodosum
stage 2: pulm parenchyma is involved changes in mid and upper zones
stage 3: pulm infiltrates and fibrosis w/o adenopathy |
also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, occurs in response to inhaled organic dust. exposure may be occupational or environmental | Hypersensitivity pneumonitis |
