    Study Notes

    Lung Volumes and Capacities

    • Lung volumes are the amount of air in the lungs at specific points in the respiratory cycle
    • Lung capacities are the sum of two or more lung volumes

    Respiratory Function Tests (PFTs)

    • PFTs are tests that measure the mechanical function of the lungs
    • They assess the volume of air inspired and expired, flow rates, and gas exchange

    Diffusion Capacity

    • Measures the rate of gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane
    • Factors influencing diffusion capacity include membrane thickness, surface area, and ventilation/perfusion ratio

    Pulmonary Circulation

    • The pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system that moves blood through the lungs for gas exchange
    • Blood circulation starts at the right ventricle of the heart and travels through the pulmonary arteries, capillaries, and veins before returning to the left atrium

    Pulmonary Mechanics

    • Pulmonary mechanics involve the forces and pressures involved in breathing
    • Factors affecting mechanics include lung compliance, airway resistance, and respiratory muscle strength

    Control of Breathing

    • Neural control of breathing involves the respiratory centers in the brainstem and the nerves that innervate the respiratory muscles
    • Chemical factors, such as blood levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen, also regulate breathing

    Pulmonary Defense Mechanisms

    • The lungs have several defense mechanisms to protect against infection and foreign inhalation
    • These defenses include the mucociliary system, alveolar macrophages, and the immune system

    Pulmonary Infections

    • Types of pulmonary infections include bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections
    • Diagnosing and treating these infections requires careful consideration of the patient's symptoms, risk factors, and medical history

    Lung Cancer

    • Lung cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related death globally and is associated with smoking and other environmental factors
    • Diagnosing and staging lung cancer involve various imaging modalities and tissue sampling procedures

    Interstitial Lung Diseases

    • Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a diverse group of disorders affecting the interstitium of the lung
    • ILDs manifest in various ways and are often accompanied by an inflammatory response and scarring of the lungs

    Pulmonary Hypertension

    • Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by elevated pressures within the pulmonary artery
    • Its etiologies, diagnosis, and management are complex, incorporating genetic predisposition and environmental factors

    Pulmonary Vascular Disorders

    • Pulmonary vascular disorders affect the blood vessels of the lung, encompassing various conditions that affect its function

    Lung Transplantation

    • Lung transplantation is a complex procedure involving surgical replacement of diseased lungs with healthy ones
    • Factors influencing efficacy and success include pre-operative patient assessment, surgical expertise, and post-operative care
