Q

Pathophysiology of PE? (3)

A
  1. Capacity of the lymphatics to absorb and drain interstitial fluid is exceeded
  2. Architecture of the alveolar epithelial cells breaks down
  3. Fluid entering the alveolar spaces reduces or halts gas exchange

Q

What is the pathophysiology of ARDS? (6)

A

Q

What is exercise induced asthma?

A

People who experience asthma in exercise, but not other circumstances. Could be due to sensitivity to changes in temperature and humidity of air entering lungs—air is not warmed and humidified with rapid breathing rate

25
What are characteristics of Cystic Fibrosis?
1. Atelectasis 2. Obstruction v restriction 3. COPD 4. Restrictive Pulmonary Diseases 5. Reduced compliance 6. Diffuse- increase fluid secretion in exocrine glands--defective ion transport
26
Particle sizes for pneumonconiosis--most dangerous
1-5 micrometers
27
What is silicosis?
Most common chronic occupational disease due to inhalation of TETRAHEDRAL (shape increases chemical activity) silica crystals that damage epithelial cells and macrophages causing inflammatory response---fibroblasts proliferate
28
What would you see on CXR for silicosis?
Eggshell calcification of hilar lymph notes 1-2 cm in diameter with walls 2 mm thick (typically upper lung)
29
What is Asbestosis?
A diffuse parachymal disease; asbestos fibres are engulfed by macrophages and cause infllatory reaction in airways
30
What 2 cancers are associated with asbestosis?
Bronchiogenic carcinoma and mesothlioma
31
What is Sarcoidosis?
systemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause that may involve many different tissues and organs---presents with bilateral hilar LA, no known cause-disease of exclusion
32
Why is pulmonary HTN a vicious cycle?
Alveoli become wider and arterioles become narrower, increases pulmonary blood pressure and enlargement of right ventricle which causes right sided heart failure Narrowing causes HTN and HTN causes narrowing
33
Pneumonia v Pneumonitis?
Pneumonia is bacterial infxn and pneumonitis is caused by inhalation of particulates
34
Risk factors for pneumonia? (5)
1. Any condition leading to diminished gag reflex 2. Mucociliary elevator dysfunction/damage causing to decreased clearance of defective agents 3. Accumulation of secretions 4. Decrease in phagocytic or bactericidal action of alveolar macrophages 5. Pulmonary congestion and edema
35
What organism is responsible for most cases of community acquired pneumonia worldwide?
Streptococcus pneumoniae
36
Gram staining for streptococcus pneumoniae?
Gram +
37
What are ssx of pneumonia
1. cough 2. fatigue 3. myalgia 4. incerased sputum production 5. Pleuritic chest pain
38
How are signs and sx different depending on lobar, viral or bronchopneumonia?
lobar viral broncho
39
Difference between congestion and consolidation?
Congestion: leaky dilated capillaries- protein rich exudate into interstitium/intra-alveolar fluid with few neutrophils, exudative rxn---not solidification Consolidation: Exudative rxn and subsequent solidification
40
4 stages of lobar pneumonia
1. congestion 2. Red hepatization 3. grey hepatization 4. Resolution
41
Characteristics of red hepatization (3)
1. Red cell exudate, neutrophils, and fibrin in alveolar spaces 2. Red, firm, airless 3. consistency: liver tissue
42
Gray Hepatization characteristics (4)
1. Red cell disintegration, shift to increased fibrinization 2. Persistent neutrophils, fibrin and supperative exudate 3. Alveoli still consolidated 4. appears grayer and browner and drier
43
In which populations is Haemophilus Pneumonia most prevalent? (2)
1. Children under 2 with otitis media, URI, meningitis, cellulitis or osteomylitis 2. Adults with COPD
44
How does Haemophilus Pneumonia gram stain?
Gram -
45
Antibiotic for haemophilus pneumoniae
Bactrim
46
2nd most Common cause of pneumonia in people with COPD?
Moraxells Catarrhalis
47
Gram staining of Moraxells Catarrhalis?
negative
48
Which population most often get Klebsiella Pneumoniae? (2)
1. Debilitated/malnourished | 2. Alcoholics
49
Klebsiella gram staining properties?
negative
50
Cystic Fibrosis patients with pneumonia presumably have which bacteria?
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
51
Gram staining properties of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa?
negative
52
How is legionella transmitted?
inhalation of aerosolized organisms or aspiration of contaminated water
53
What is unusual about Legionella?
?
54
What are the atypical pneumonias
viral (influenza) mycoplasmal (mycoplasma pneumoniae (obligate intracellular) not bacterial
55
What is walking pneumonia?
``` cell wall deficient bacteria cause walking pneumonia legionella coxiella burnetti mycoplasma pneumoniae chlamydia pneumoniae ```
56
Are cultures helpful for atypical/walking pneumonia
NO
57
What findings in tympanic membrane of a person with pneumonia might indicate the causative organism
Bullous myringitus | blisters on tympanic membrane
58
What is unusual about the original location of viral versus bacterial pneumonia?
Viral- interstitial | bacterial- alveolar
59
What is the most common viral overall
Influenza A/varicella zoster
60
Most common viral in children
RSV/ respiratory synctal virus
61
What is an oxygen tent
enclosure/high oxygen. helps them breath better
62
What is virus responsible for SARS
Corona virus
63
How is SARS identified
by PCR, giant cells present
64
What most common causes of nosocomial pneumonia?
hospital acquired, bugs resistentant to antibiotics | MRSA or psuedomonias
65
What are the characteristics of aspiration pneumonia?
Aspiration of gastric contents prolonged bed rest posterior lobes leads to abscesses
66
Common organisms of aspiration pneumonia
aerobic--Strep, Staph, H FLu. Pseudomonas---normal oral flora anaerobic bacteroides and fusobacteriam
67
What is the difference between pleural effusion and empyema?
Pleural effusion- fluid in between visceral and parietal lung layers empyema- pus not fluid---will be cloudy on CXR
68
What is bronchoplueral fistula?
pus filled empyema/fistula/sinus tract from bronchus to pleural space
69
What 4 organisms associated with chronic pneumonia?
tb, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidiomycosis
