Term
Definition
Atelectasis   Loss of lung volume. Decreased or absent air in the entire or part of the lung.  
🗑
Dyspnea   difficulty breathing (mild, moderate, severe)  
🗑
DOE   dyspnea on exertion.  
🗑
Hypoxia   below normal levels of O2  
🗑
Anoxia   absence or almost complete absence of O2  
🗑
Hemoptysis   cough with bloody production (sputum)  
🗑
Hemoptysis originates   below the vocal cords. Above is not a true hemoptysis  
🗑
Atelectasis   Loss of lung volume. Decreased or absent air in the entire or part of the lung.  
🗑
Dyspnea   difficulty breathing (mild, moderate, severe)  
🗑
DOE   dyspnea on exertion.  
🗑
Hypoxia   below normal levels of O2  
🗑
Anoxia   absence or almost complete absence of O2  
🗑
Hemoptysis   cough with bloody production (sputum)  
🗑
Hemoptysis originates   below the vocal cords. Above is not a true hemoptysis  
🗑
An Intrapulmonary hemoptysis is   bright red  
🗑
An extrapulmonary hemoptysis is   dark tarry = GI  
🗑
When assessing pulmonary complaints orders that can be considered are?   CXR (PA + lat), CT chest or HRCT, PFTs, Spirometry (measure lung volumes and capacities), ABGs  
🗑
The four lung volumes are?   Inspiratory reserve volume, Reserve volume, Tidal volume, Expiratory reserve volume.  
🗑
The four lung capacities are?   Inspiratory capacity, functional capacity, vital capacity, and total lung capacity  
🗑
All capacities are composed of two or more volumes: Inspiratory capacity   IRV + TV  
🗑
Functional reserve capacity is composed of:   ERV + RV  
🗑
Vital capacity is composed of:   IRV + TV + ERV +RV  
🗑
Total lung capacity:   IRV + TV + ERV + RV  
🗑
Residual volume is   The amount of air left in the lungs after exhalation  
🗑
Expiratory reserve volume   Amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation  
🗑
Tidal Volume   Amount of air inspired during a normal inspiration -TV satisfies resting metabolic needs -TV not entirely used for gas exchange - 70% reaches resp bronchioles/ 30% reaches anatomic dead space.  
🗑
Inspiratory reserve volume   Amount of air that can be inspired after a normal inspiration  
🗑
Total lung capacity   Volume of air in the lung at maximum inspiration -limited primary to restriction of lung (ex: emphysema) RV + ERV + TV + IRV - 5- 8 L  
🗑
Inspiratory capacity   Maximum volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation. (TV + IRV)  
🗑
FRC functional residual capacity   Volume of air that remains in the lung after a normal exhalation (RV + ERV)  
🗑
Peak expiratory flow rate   assessment of flow variability (objective) ---> Quantifies disease severity *  
🗑
Peak expiratory flow rate is used in the assessment of what type of airway dz   Asthma (acute)  
🗑
Peak expiratory flow rate occurs during the ____ part of exhalation   early  
🗑
Normal peak flows for healthy females   300-500 L/ min  
🗑
Normal peak flows for healthy males   400- 600 L/min  
🗑
Decreased peak flow indicates   obstruction  
🗑
Spirometry is the   assessment of capacity and volume -useful in small and large airway dz  
🗑
Spirometry is used to predict   1) airflow obstruction 2) if airflow obstruction is immediately reversible  
🗑
While performing spirometry educate your patients to not   cough or hesitate (causing extra breaths)  
🗑
FEV1 decrease indicates   obstruction of larger airways  
🗑
Flow volume loop is   a graphical representation of spirometry results: a measurement of inspiratory and expiratory flows and volumes  
🗑
In 6 seconds the flow loos shows when   the patient inspires, expires, and inspires again  
🗑
Intrapulmonary sources of hemoptysis includes   Infections, structural, vascular, cardiac, wegners granulomatosis, connective tissue, and idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis  
🗑
Extrapulmonary sources of hemoptysis includes   Upper resp ( epistaxis, nasopharygeal lesions, oral), GI, systemic coagulopathies, cocaine  
🗑
Pink frothy sputum   Pulmonary edema  
🗑
Blood streaked, purulent   Chronic bronchitis  
🗑
Frank blood   Rupture of bronchial arteries from inflammation, trauma, malignancy  
🗑
When assessing hemoptysis lab/diagnostic studies you want to order include   CBC w/ diff, PT/PTT, INR, sputum for C & S, Gram stain, AFB, cytology, fibrinogen level, D-dimer, PA/lat CXR, CT chest or angiogram, bronchoscopy is a MUST (malignancy)  
🗑
If a patient presents with hemoptysis and has history of smoking, is elderly, has hx of a prior malignancy, or family hx of a malignancy what diagnostic study SHOULD you order?   Bronchoscopy  
🗑
If a patient presents in your clinic with bleeding > 200 mL in 24 hours   ADMIT to hospital for further workup  
🗑
A pt presents with massive hemoptysis you should treat as   hypovolemic shock, obtain surgery and pulmonary consults.  
🗑
