Restrictive Diseases
Definitions, etiology, Symptoms, Treatment
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)? | Excessive formation of connective (scar) tissue in the process of repairing chronic or acute tissue injury. |
| Etiology of IPF. | An immune reaction to inhaled substances like, Chlorine, Ammonia, PVC, smoke inhalation, Radiation. May also result from complications of other pulmonary diseases such as TB, unresolved pneumonia,fungal infections,& diseases of unknown etiology. |
| Pathophysiology of IPF. | Cellular infiltration, acute vasculitis, scar tissue, that can't be reversed. |
| What is Pnuemoconiosis? | A group of occupational diseases causing chronic inflammation of the lungs and interstitial fibrosis due to inhalation of dust or chemical fumes. |
| Types and causes of Pneumoconioses. | Silicosis(Silica dust),Farmer's lung(moldy hay), Silo-filler disease(Nitrogen dioxide), Coal miners pneumonia(coal dust), Asbestosis(Asbestos), Siderosis(Iron dust), Aluminosis(Aluminum) |
| Symptoms of IPF. | Progressive dyspnea, on exertion in the beginning stages then at rest as the disease progresses (PRIMARY SYMPTOM), nonproductive cough, hemoptysis, hypoxemia,chest pain. |
| Physical examination findings for IPF. | Increased WOB, tachypnea w/ shallow VT, accessory muscle use, breath sounds(diffused, dry, crackling rales) cyanosis, restricted chest wall movement, later stages show clubbing and cor pulmonale. |
| Chest x-ray findings for IPF. | elevated diaphragm, small lung, large heart, honeycomb appearance from fibrotic changes. |
| Diagnostics used to confirm IPF. | Bronchoscopy, biopsy, PFT, history. |
| Treatment of IPF. | No known cure. Limit exposure to causative, corticosteroids, O2 therapy, antibiotics, treat symptoms and complications, pulmonary hygiene, bronchodilators. |
| Perimeters for mechanical ventilation in IPF. | Vt = 8 to 12ml/kg b/c trying to compensate for diminished lung volume(5-8ml/kg is the norm) RR = 12-20 b/min I time = 1.0sec |
| What types of lung diseases are restrictive? | Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis(IPF), Pleural effusion, Pneumothorax, Pulmonary edema(cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic), ARDS, Pneumonia, Pulmonary embolism, Postoperative atelectasis. |
| What is pleural effusion (hemothorax)? | Presence of fluid in the pleural space causing compression of the lung on the affected side. If it is large enough the mediastinum will shift. Is is gravity dependent and may shift with changing of positions. |
| Etiology of pleural effusion. | Inflammation, malignancy, CHF(most common), infection pulmonary infarction, and trauma. |
| Diagnostics used to confirm pleural effusion. | Chest x-ray. |
| Types of pleural effusions. | Hydrothorax, empyema, hemothorax, chylothorax, fibrothorax. |
| What is hydrothorax? | Noninflammatory accumulation of serous fluid in one or both pleural cavities. |
| What is empyema? | Effusion consisting entirely of pus caused by a bacterial infection. |
| What is hemothorax? | Frank blood or fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity caused by, trauma, malignancy, or ruptured blood vessels. |
| What is chylothorax? | Chyle from the thoracic duct into the pleural space, usually caused trauma or tumor. |
| Symptoms of pleural effusion. | Dyspnea, tachypnea, chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, hypoxemia. Breath sounds are decreased or crackles over ther effected area. |
| X-ray findings. | location of effusion w/radiopaque homogeneous mass,obliteration of costophrenic angle, mediastinal shift away from affected area, possible atelectasis. |
| Treatment for pleural effusion. | Thoracentesis, chest tube drainage, O2, need to treat underlying cause, symptoms, and complications. |
| What is a pneumothorax? | Presence of air in the intrapleural space or within other areas of the thorax, can be spontaneous or traumatic. Pressure increases and decompresses lung tissue, resulting in atelectasis and ventilation becomes decreased on the affected side. |
| Two types of pneumothorax. | Open and tension. |
| Criteria for an open pneumothorax. | Trauma, penetrating injury, lung puncture, rib fracture, rupture of chest wall. |
| Criteria for a tension pneumothorax (spontaneous). | Acute medical emergency, air leaks into pleural space but can't escape, not from an injury, should see a shift in mediastinal. Increase in alveolar and intraplural pressure. |
| Characteristics of an open pneumothorax. | Pressure does not build up, gas is allowed to move freely in and our of the pleural space |
| Characteristics of a tension pneumothorax. | Gas allowed in but not out, significant increases in pressure. |
| Symptoms of a pneumothorax. | *sudden chest pain *tachypnea *tachycardia *hypoxemia *diaphoresis *temp *anxiety *absent breath sounds on affected side *trachea & mediastinum shift toward unaffected side |
| X-ray findings for a pneumothorax. | Hyperlucency and absent vascular markings at location, mediastinum shift. |
| Treatment for pneumothorax. | Place in Fowler's position, O2 therapy w/ nasal cannula (unless contraindicated), chest tube w/ chest drain system, thoracentesis, IPPB to reinflate the lung, and if respiratory failure place on ventilation. |
| What is a chest tube? | Drainage system used to remove air or fluid from the pleural space, allows negative intrapleural pressure to be re-established. |
| What are chest tubes used to resolve? | *Pneumothorax(air) *hemothorax(blood) *pleural effusion *empyema(purulent fluid) *cardiac tamponade following open heart surgery. |
| What do chest tubes comprise of? | *Sterile flexible catheter(sizes 7-40 French) *radiopaque stripe |

| X-ray findings for pulmonary edema. | Prominent vascular markings, diffuse fluffy infiltrates w/ butterfly pattern and possible cardiomegaly. |
| Cardiogenic Pulmonary edema process. | Alveolar edema; surfactant flushing which increases surface tension (alveolar collapse) a V/Q occurs (intrapulmonary shunting)and hypoxemia happens. |
| Treatment for cardiogenic pulmonary edema. | Lasix -to decrease fluid, Morphine -vasodilation to decrease vascular resistance, Digitalis -increase contractility of heart and increase CO, O2 therapy, CPAP/BiPAP, ventilation w/PEEP |
| Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. | Epithelial damage of alveolar allows fluid to enter the alveoli; CNS trauma, drug OD, high altitudes, re-expansion(rapid removal of pleural effusion fluid, >1000ml, may produce edema) Some consider to be early form of ARDS. |
| Diagnosis of Pulmonary edema. | Wet bubbly rales in lung fields, pink frothy secretions. |
| What is ARDS? | Severe pulmonary congestion. Reaction to the respiratory tract to high levels of physiologic stress. |
| Clinical signs of ARDS. | REFRACTORY HYPOXEMIA(main sign), decreased lung compliance, decreased FRC, atelectasis, shunting, PE, PF, respiratory failure. |
| Chest x-ray findings for ARDS. | Diffused alveolar infiltrated throughout lung "honeycomb", "ground glass" appearance. |
| Symptoms of ARDS. | dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, cyanosis, hypoxemia, resp. distress. Breath sounds: rales and/or wheezes, cough, SOB, increase WOB, decrease compliance and FRC. |
| Treatment of ARDS. | Treat underlying cause, ventilation(IS,IPPB,Ventilator w/PEEP),low O2 therapy, steroids, antibiotics, diuretics. |
