Chronic asthma

Front

May develop irreversible damage to lungs 1. Bronchial walls thicken over time

Back

Obstructive

Front

stuff that cant get out

Back

Blue bloater

Front

chronic bronchitis

Back

Pulmonary edema

Front

Fluid collects in alveoli and interstitial area Fluid decreases amount of oxygen diffusing into blood Difficulty with lung expansion

Back

Asthma

Front

Severe/reversible bronchial obstruction Hypersensitive or hyper responsive airways

Back

Spirometry

Front

test volumes and airflow

alkalosis

Back

Emphysema

Front

Alveolar walls are destroyed permanently inflated air spaces Loses flexibility

Front

105 to 60mm Hg

Low pH

Front

acidosis

Back

Control of Ventilation: coordination

Front

Pons

Back

Asbestos

what are the main 4 chronic obstructive lung diseases?

Front

Cystic Fibrosis, Emphysema, Chhonicbronchitis, Asthma

Back

Vital Capacity

Front

IRV+TV+ERV-max air exhaled after max inhalation

Tripod position at rest

Back

Lung Cancer

Front

3rd most common cancer, most common to die from 90% lung cancer related to smoking

Back

Bronchogenic carcinoma

Front

Most common malignant lung tumor

Back

What 2 chronic obstructive diseases can come from smoking?

Front

emphysema , chronic bronchitis

Back

what is a restrictive lung disorder?

Front

impaired lung expansion, reduced lung capacity

Back

Acid base balance

Front

usually 7.35-7.45 pH

Back

Functional Residual Capacity

Front

expiratory reserve volume + residual volume -air left after normal exhalation

Back

Inspiratory capacity

Front

tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume

Back

Pneumonia

can expnd lungs

Back

lung diseases

Front

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Occupational lung disease Pulmonary edema Adult respiratory distress syndrome

Back

Cystic Fibrosis

Front

Hypoxia, fatigue, exercise intolerance Diagnose: sweat test

X-rays

Front

tumors and infections

Back

Atelectasis

Front

cant get air behind

Back

Minute ventilation
