Study Notes

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

COPD is a progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation, which worsens over time.
Key intervention for patients with COPD: Pulmonary rehabilitation with exercise training to improve exercise tolerance and quality of life.
Emphysema is a type of COPD where destruction of alveolar walls leads to decreased surface area for gas exchange.
Bronchodilators are used to relax smooth muscle and improve airflow in COPD patients.
Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a test for functional exercise capacity in COPD patients, measuring the distance they can walk in six minutes.
Pursed-lip breathing is a breathing technique to release trapped air in the lungs, helpful in COPD management.
BODE Index is an outcome measure for COPD patients, using BMI, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity to predict mortality risk.

Restrictive Lung Disease

Common finding in restrictive lung disease is reduced Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).
Reduced Total Lung Capacity (TLC) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in PFTs are most likely associated with restrictive lung disease.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation aims to improve exercise tolerance, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases.

Asthma

Trigger management and medication adherence are preventive measures in asthma.
Diaphragmatic breathing reduces energy expenditure during breathing, improving breathing for patients with respiratory conditions.

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is primarily caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene.

Other Key Concepts

Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a persistent, productive cough.
Long-term smoking is the primary risk factor for COPD.
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a surgical intervention used to remove damaged lung tissue in severe emphysema.
Physical therapy guides patients through safe exercise routines and teaches breathing techniques in managing chronic pulmonary dysfunction.
Chronic hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels) is often managed with long-term oxygen therapy.
A decreased FEV1/FVC ratio in pulmonary function tests typically indicates obstructive lung disease.
