DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+||BRAND NEW
VERSION!!
Pulmonar Disease - (answer)*classified into 2 broad categories
-restrictive vs obstructive
- infectious vs non-infectious
Restrictive disorders - (answer)*unable to breath air in
* these ppl have low lung volumes on PFTs
*lung volumes are the amount of air the lungs contain at a given time during ventilation.
*Examples= aspirations, pulmonary fibrosis, atelectasis, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, and pulmonar edema
Obstructive disorders - (answer)*unable to exhale the air that has been inhaled
* have high volumes on PFTs
* Examples= asthma and COPD
Infectious Disorders - (answer)* Pneumonia and TB
Non-infectious pulmonary disorder - (answer)pulmonar fibosis, lung cancer, and pulmonary
hypertension
Acute Respiratory Failure - (answer)* 2 main types= hypoxemia and hypercapnia
* may result from direct injury
* may be triggered by an injury or dysfunction to one or more body systems or organs
* may occur post-operatively secondary to anesthesia or narcotics
* in either case the main dysfunction is an impairment in diffusion which result in low oxygen levels or
retained CO2
* most pulmonary diseases can cause respiratory failure as can brain or spinal cord injuries
Hypoxemia respiratory failure - (answer)* PaO2 less than or equal to 50mmHg
* from inadequate diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli to the capillaries

* disorder examples= pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolus, and pneumonia
Hypercapnic respiratory failure - (answer)* PaCO2 greater than or equal to 50mmHg
* from inadequate alveolar ventilation
* cause= depression of respiratory function from meds, abnormal spinal cord, disorders of the medulla,
disease of neuromuscular junction, chest wall injury, COPD, and obstruction or large airways.
Pneumothorax - (answer)* presence of air or gas in the pleural space
* air may press against the lungs and cause the lung to collapse
* 2 main types= spontaneous and secondary
* clinical manifestations= sudden pleural pain, tachypnea, dyspnea, decreased breath sounds, and
HYPPEROSANCE TO PERCUSSION
Spontaneous pneumothorax - (answer)* occurs in males 20-40 years of age that are tall and thin
* may occur in bleb ruptures in ppl with emphysema
* smoking increases the risk
* bleb ruptures may be at rest or exercise and in the apexes
* may be a genetic component or family history
Secondary pneumothorax - (answer)* caused by trauma
* tension pneumothorax occurs when air becomes trapped and can't escape
* site of injury acts as a one way valve only letting air in
* pt may experiene a complete lung collapse
* signs are a deviated trachea, shortness of breath, and hypotension
Pulmonary Edema - (answer)* accumulation of water in the pulmonary alveolar sacs
* prevents proper exchange of gas
* leads to dyspnea, chest pain, and hypoxia
