    Study Notes

    Restrictive Pulmonary Disease Overview

    • Characterized by decreased lung volumes and reduced lung expansion
    • Can be caused by intrinsic lung disorders or extrinsic factors affecting the chest wall, pleura, or neuromuscular function
    • Gas exchange usually remains normal until the disease is advanced

    Types of Restrictive Pulmonary Disease

    • Acute Intrinsic Pulmonary Disorders
      • Pulmonary edema, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
      • Infectious pneumonia
      • Aspiration pneumonitis
    • Chronic Intrinsic Pulmonary Disorders
      • Interstitial lung diseases
    • Extrinsic Restrictive Pulmonary Disorders
      • Pleural effusions
      • Pneumothorax
      • Mediastinal masses
      • Kyphoscoliosis
      • Pectus excavatum
      • Neuromuscular disorders
      • Increased intraabdominal pressure from ascites, pregnancy, or bleeding
      • Marked obesity

    Clinical Features

    • Dyspnea on exertion
    • Nonproductive cough
    • Symptoms of cor pulmonale only with advanced disease

    Diagnostic Tests

    • Spirometry
      • FEV1/FVC is normal or increased
      • FEV1, FVC decreased
      • FV Loop shows a "witch's hat" pattern
    • Lung Volumes
      • TLC and RV are decreased
      • Lung compliance is decreased
    • DLCO
      • Decreased

    Chest Radiograph

    • Progression from "ground-glass" appearance to prominent reticulonodular markings, and finally, to a "honeycomb" appearance

    Arterial Blood Gases

    • Mild hypoxemia with normocarbia

    PFTs

    • Typical of a restrictive ventilatory defect

    Management of Acute Intrinsic Pulmonary Disorders

    • Elective surgery should be postponed
    • Optimize oxygenation and ventilation preoperatively
    • Treat fluid overload with diuretics
    • Consider drainage of large pleural effusions
    • Relieve massive abdominal distention with nasogastric compression or drainage of ascites
    • Persistent hypoxemia may require mechanical ventilation

    Anesthesia Management

    • Intravenous and inhalation agents combined with a neuromuscular blocking agent
    • Decreased lung compliance increases the risk of barotrauma and volutrauma during positive-pressure ventilation

    Ventilator Strategy

    • Tidal volume: 4-6 mL/kg
    • Respiratory rate: 14–18 breaths/min
    • Airway pressure: no more than 30 cm H2O
    • PEEP: High may be needed with caution
    • FiO2: High

    Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV)

    • May improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS
    • Superior to conventional ventilation modes
    • Reduces peak airway pressure without compromising oxygenation
    • Promotes alveolar recruitment and improves oxygenation
    • Allows for spontaneous breathing
    • Improves V/Q matching and oxygenation in severe ARDS
    • Allows for less sedation, improved cardiopulmonary function, and decreased time on ventilators
