Study Notes
Restrictive Pulmonary Disease
- Characterized by increased elastic recoil, decreased lung compliance, and reduced vital capacity with low lung volumes
- Examples include acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and interstitial lung diseases such as sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
Lung Function Measurements
- TLC (total lung capacity) is smaller than normal in restrictive pulmonary disease
- FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) is reduced, but FEV1/FVC (forced vital capacity) is often increased
- Critical distinction is low FVC with low FRC (functional residual capacity) and RV (residual volume)
Distinguishing between Obstructive and Restrictive Patterns
- Obstructive pattern:
- TLC and FRC increase
- FEV1 and FEV1/FVC decrease
- Restrictive pattern:
- TLC and FRC decrease
- FEV1 decreases, but FEV1/FVC increases or remains normal
Pulmonary Shunt
- Defined as blood passing through the pulmonary circulation without changing its chemical composition
- Occurs in areas of regional atelectasis, such as pneumothorax
- Characterized by PaO2 below pulmonary end-capillary PO2, widening A-a gradient, and no significant increase in PaO2 with supplemental oxygen
Ventilation-Perfusion Mismatch
- Alveolar ventilation (VA) necessary to saturate Hb with oxygen is 4L/min
- Pulmonary blood flow (Q) is 5L/min at rest
- Lower lung fields may be affected most severely due to greater perfusion
Emphysema
- Clinical features:
- Dyspnea and cough with minimal sputum
- Prolonged expiration with pursed lips to increase airway pressure and prevent airway collapse
- Radiographic findings:
- Increased anterior-posterior diameter of chest (barrel-chest)
- Flattened diaphragm
- Increased lung field lucency
- Complications:
- Hypoxemia and cor pulmonale are late complications
Asthma
- Pathogenesis:
- Type I hypersensitivity to various stimuli, including physical, chemical, and allergenic irritants
- lgE-bound to pulmonary mast cells
- Clinical features:
- Episodic and related to allergen exposure
- Presents in childhood, often associated with allergic rhinitis, eczema, and family history of atopy
- Causes:
- Direct pulmonary trauma or indirect non-pulmonary insults
- Pulmonary epithelial and/or endothelial injury
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- Clinical features:
- Hypoxemia and cyanosis with respiratory distress
- Respiratory failure within 1 week of alveolar insult
- Diagnosis:
- Abnormal chest X-ray (bilateral lung opacities)
- Decreased Pao2/Fio2 ratio (<300)
- Symptoms of respiratory failure are not due to heart failure or fluid overload
- Treatment:
- Address underlying cause
- Mechanical ventilation with low tidal volumes and high PEEP
- Recovery may be complicated by interstitial fibrosis
