The underlying reason for airway collapse is thought
to be due to destruction of the surrounding alveolar
______ which in the normal lung exerts traction on the
periphery of the airway, holding it open.

death

diameter and not associated in its early stages with
emphysema, bronchitis, asthma or bronchiectasis.
2

arthritis
rheumatoid
Permanent dilatation of bronchi.

It is generally recommended that patients with resting O2
arterial tensions of less than 55mm Hg as well as patients
with arterial desaturation during exercise receive ____

three stages of ARDS
exudative
proliferative
organizing
ARDS: What stage?

There is an initial injury involving all
layers of the alveolar wall: epithelial, interstitial and
endothelial. Edema fluid collects within the interstitium
and the capillaries leak plasma proteins leading to
formation of hyaline membranes.
exudative
ARDS: what stage?

The type I pneumonocytes are
replaced by type II. Fibroblasts proliferate within the
edematous interstitium and fibrous tissue may be seen
within 10-15 days.
proliferative
ARDS: Wht stage?

More fibrous tissue is produced,
alveolar spaces enlarge, and with time may form
prominent cystic spaces (honeycomb lung).
organizing

and hypocapnia... what's that?
respiratory alkalosis

as a result of
hyperventilation perhaps secondary to scarring &
involvement of the stretch receptors.
FEV1,/ FVC in Chronic Interstitial and infiltrative disorders:
FEV1,/
FVC is often increased.
Chronic Interstitial and infiltrative disorders:

hypoxemia at rest in these patients is a disparity in ventilation/perfusion, with functional ______ shunting through fibrotic lung.
