Study Notes
Respiratory Disorders Overview
- Clubbing of the fingertips is linked to diseases causing chronic hypoxemia and pulmonary circulation disruption.
- Chest pain can result from inflamed pleurae, trachea, bronchi, or respiratory muscles.
- Hypercapnia is increased PaCO2 due to reduced minute volume.
- Hypoxemia is caused by decreased oxygen content, hypoventilation, diffusion abnormality, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, or shunting.
- Acute respiratory failure is due to inadequate gas exchange or ventilation.
- Deformed chest wall, trauma, immobilization, or obesity increase the work of breathing.
- Flail chest occurs due to rib or sternal fractures affecting breathing mechanics.
- Pneumothorax is air accumulation in the pleural space, often from weakened areas or trauma.
- Pleural effusion is fluid accumulation, usually from capillary disorders or lymphatic blockage.
- Pulmonary disorders include aspiration, atelectasis, bronchiectasis, and bronchiolitis.
- Pulmonary fibrosis diminishes lung compliance and oxygen diffusion.
- Obstructive pulmonary diseases include asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
Respiratory System Disorders
- Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia is a complication of bronchiolitis obliterans, where alveoli and bronchioles fill with connective tissue.
- Pulmonary fibrosis is an excessive amount of connective tissue in the lung, resulting in decreased oxygen diffusion and hypoxemia.
- Pneumoconiosis is caused by inhalation of dust particles in the workplace, leading to chronic inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis, and susceptibility to lower airway infection and tumor formation.
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an allergic reaction to various allergens.
- Pulmonary edema is the presence of excess water in the lung, often caused by left-sided heart failure.
- ALI/ARDS is an acute, diffuse inflammatory injury to the alveolocapillary membrane, resulting in pulmonary edema and atelectasis.
- Obstructive pulmonary diseases include asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
- Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the bronchial mucosa causing reversible airflow obstruction.
- COPD is the coexistence of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
- Upper respiratory tract infections, such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, and laryngitis, are common causes of short-term disability.
- Serious lower respiratory tract infections include pneumonia and tuberculosis.
- Pulmonary artery hypertension is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 25 mmHg at rest, caused by various factors.
