Study Notes
General Characteristics
- Predominant bronchitis typically manifests at 40-45 years of age.
- Predominant emphysema typically manifests at 50-75 years of age.
- Mild, late-onset dyspnea is associated with predominant bronchitis.
- Severe, early-onset dyspnea is associated with predominant emphysema.
Cough and Sputum Production
- Predominant bronchitis involves an early, copious sputum-producing cough.
- Predominant emphysema involves a late, scanty sputum-producing cough.
Infections
- Predominant bronchitis is more commonly associated with frequent infections.
- Predominant emphysema is more commonly associated with occasional infections.
Respiratory Insufficiency
- Predominant bronchitis is characterized by repeated respiratory insufficiency.
- Predominant emphysema is characterized by terminal respiratory insufficiency.
Cor Pulmonale
- Predominant bronchitis commonly leads to cor pulmonale.
- Predominant emphysema rarely leads to cor pulmonale, except in terminal stages.
Airway Resistance
- Predominant bronchitis is associated with increased airway resistance.
- Predominant emphysema has normal or slightly increased airway resistance.
Elastic Recoil
- Predominant bronchitis is associated with normal elastic recoil.
- Predominant emphysema is associated with low elastic recoil.
Chest Radiograph
- Predominant bronchitis is characterized by prominent vessels and a large heart on a chest radiograph.
- Predominant emphysema is characterized by hyperinflation and a small heart on a chest radiograph.
Appearance
- Predominant bronchitis is characterized by a blue bloater appearance.
- Predominant emphysema is characterized by a pink puffer appearance.
Dyspnea
- Predominant emphysema typically presents with dyspnea at an early stage.
- Predominant bronchitis typically presents with mild dyspnea at a later stage.
