common S&S of pulmonary disease
|
cough
dyspnea chest pain cyanosis digital clubbing altered breathing patterns |
|
dry cough
|
hypersensitive airways
congestion tumor |
|
productive cough
|
purulent sputum indicates infection
non-purulent sputum indicates non-specific irritation hemoptysis indicates pathologic condition |
|
dyspnea
|
feature of pulmonary disease
occurs seondary to inadequate ventilation and/or lack of O2 in circulating blood occurs mainly with diffuse, rahter tahn localized disease orthopnea - dyspnea when lying down, secondary to fluid shifts and decreased efficiency of the respiratory muscles |
|
chest pain
|
substernal, over involved lung field
may mimic angina, including readiation in neck or UE pleural irritation may result in sharp pain that is reduced by lying on the affected side, limiting movement (autosplinting) |
|
cyanosis
|
bluish coloring of the skin and mucous membranes
occurs secondary to reduced O2 saturation of the blood and/or reduced hemoglobin content |
|
digital clubbing
|
loss of the normal angle between the nail and nail-bed on the fingers and toes
results in a club-like appearance thought to be caused by a chronic perfusion deficit secondary to pulmonary disease may also occur with certain cardiac, liver, and GI disorders |
|
altered breathing patterns
|
change in the normal rate, depth, regularity, and effort of breathing
read 557 in GFB Cheyne-stokes, Kussmaul, Biot, Apneustic |
|
Pulmonary change with Aging
|
decreased resp muscle strength and endurance
decreases in number of elastic fibers in the lung tissue increase chest wall stiffness decreased in overall lung function increase work of breathing increase susceptibility to respiratory infections increase complications during anesthesia |
|
PT implications
|
expect reduced exercise capacities in older adults
be aware of S&S of pulmonary disease, including abnormal breathing monitor vitals at rest and during activity, including pulse oximetry if available educate on importance of regular aerobic exercise to reduce the age-related changes in cardiorespiratory function |
|
pneumonia
|
acute lung tissue inflammation
symptoms (chills/fever, elevated WBC, respiratory distress, sputum changes, cloudy areas on chest x-ray) middle age alcoholics |
|
pneumonia etiology
|
bacteria/virus
hypostasis aspiration fungus |
|
pneumonia etiology virus
|
50% of all types
influenza A, B, C adenoviruses |
|
pneumonia etiology bacteria
|
diplococcus pneumoniar (pneumococcal)>50%
Klebsiella pneumoniae -typically seen in middle aged alcoholics |
|
Lobar pneumonia
|
self limiting
involves an entire lobe produces an intra alveolar exudate 10 day course pneumococcus and Klebsiella consolidations of the affected lobe healthy adults |
|
Bronchopneumonia
|
pleural effusion and hydrothorax
may result in atelectasis (collapsed lung) diffuse patchy consolidation pattern usually bilateral occludes small airways longer recovery - permanent damage elderly and infants may result in pleurisy staphylococcus and streptococcus |
|
chronic bronchitis
blue bloater |
progresisve disease
hyperactive airway component high incidence in England smoking history |
|
emphysema
|
progressive destruction of distal airways or alveoli(airways collapse, air trapping, difficult to get air out)
irreversible pulmonary infections "end stage" lung disease males have a greater incidence than females |
|
types of emphysema
|
centrilobular
panlobular mixture |
|
centrilobular emphysema
|
destruction of respiratory bronchioles
affects the central acinus poor ventilation causes V/Q imbalance (vent/ perfusion) cyanosis, bradypnea (depressed breathing), well nourished cor pulmonale (right sided heart failure) not a good exchange of gas, stagnant air, build up in residual volume |
|
panlobular emphysema
pink puffer |
affects all of the alveoli of an acinus
increased pulmonary dead space diffusion block (passage of O2 from blood to alveoli is impaired) compensation by tachypnea (rapid breath) spontaneous pneumothorax-Blebs (collapsed lung) bullae formation (bubble out, taking up space, no effective gas exchange, filled with air or puss) |
|
pink puffer
|
hypertrophy in trapezius and SCM
work to get air in (use lots of E) pursed lip breathing (breathe in through nose, blow out like blowing in straw, creates back pressure in airways to keep them open so they don't collapse) |
|
bronchiectasis common causes
|
pertusis (immunised as children, whoopin cough)
measles (immunized as children) bronchopneumonia chronic bronchitis |
|
carcinoma of the lung
|
airway blockage
hemoptysis (spitting/coughing up blood) mestasis (spreads to other parts of the body) |
|
cystic fibrosis
|
genetic
early mortality (80% -first 2 decades) recessive trait much mucus-pancreas (malabsorption -take enzymes to help with reabsorption from the gut, intestinal blockage - life threatening) |
|
clinical picture of cystic fibrosis
|
thin, asthenic
barrel chest protruding abdomen elevated shoulders |
|
PT implications with cystic fibrosis
|
postural drainage
exercise, breathing exercies pursed lip breathing antibiotic and O2 laryngeal control |
|
chronic restrictive pulmonary disease
|
implies respiratory depth restriction
no blockage of air flow pulmonary volume reduction pulmonary underinflation |
|
tidal volume
|
air moved in and out in one breath
|
|
inspiratory reserve volume
|
air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal breath
|
|
expiratory reserve volume
|
air that can be forcefully expired after a normal breath
|
|
residual volume
|
part of air in lung that can't be exhaled, volume of air still in lungs at end of forced expiration
|
|
total lung capacity
|
maximum amount of air the lungs can hold when they are fully inflated
|
|
atelectasis
|
collapsed alveoli, can't ventilate certain parts of lung
|
|
lung parenchyma
|
pneumoconiosis
fluid builds up in lungs, restricts that area from filling up with air (chronic irritation/inflammation, extensice fibrosis, silicosis, anthracosis, asbestosis) |
|
othopaedic disorders
|
scoliosis, expand chest wall on one side and compressed on the other side, impaired ventilation
|
|
sarcoidosis
|
high incidence in African Americans
deposits of gamma globulins increased B lymphocytes decreased T lymphocytes |
