acquired immune deficiency syndrome
-
restrictive pulm disease w/ nonspecific lung response to stresses or injuries of pulm or nonpulm nature. aka noncardiogenic pulm edema, shock lung, wet lung, white lung, and ventilator lung
acute respiratory distress syndrome
-
obstructie pulmonary disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction,
hyper-reactive airways,
bronchospasms,
mucosal edema,
inflammation,
narrowed airways,
increased mucous secretions,
mucous plugs,
asthma
-
poor aeration, poor expansion, collapse of portions of the lung
atelectasis
-
(blue bloater) inflammation of bronchial mucosa that can be acute or chronic. classified as COPD.
cough w/ mucous production most days, for 3 months or longer, for 2 successive years
bronchitis
-
emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis, cf, and bronchopulm dysplasia.
copd
-
chronic inflammation and bulbous enlargement of the fingers and toes.
common w/ chronic hypoxemia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, pulm infections and congenital heart defects.
clubbing, digital clubbing, or hypertropic pulm osteroroarthropathy
-
hypertrophy and thickening of the right heart ventricle.
cause by pulm htn.
cor pulmonale
-
hereditary disease of the autonomic nervous system that causes exocrine glands to produce excess abnormal secretions, resulting in tissue and organ damage, esp in lung tissue and organ damage
cf
-
(pink buffer) dilation, enlargement, and destruction of air spaces beyond terminal bronchioles. aka COPD.
3 pathologic types: centrilobar, panlobular, and bullous
emphysema
-
presence of purulent fluid in the pleural space. similar to pleural effusion
empyema
-
fracture of two or more ribs in more than one location, resulting in unstable area of the chest wall. unstable portion of chest wall moves in opposite direction of the rest of thorax
flail chest
-
polyneuropathy is ascending from FEET UPWARD. muscle paralysis due to simultaneous malfunction of many nerves throughout the body, including nerves of the autonomic nervous sys
guillain-barre syndrome
-
presence of blood in the intrapleural space
hemothorax
-
contagious viral resp tract infection commonly know as the flu
influenza
-
disease in the interspace area of lung tissue. many causes, ARDS, bronchiolitis, fibrosis, pulm edema, pneumonia
interstitial lung disease
-
neuromuscular disorder causing weakness and easy fatigability of muscles. most frequently involves FACE, THROAT, and muscles of ventilation
myasthenia gravis
-
neuromuscular disease causing progressive atrophy of the hands, forearms, and legs. withering of muscles throughout the body, including muscles of ventilation. 80% of pts dies within 5 years
lou gehrigs
-
medical complications resulting from exposure to high concentration oxygen over extended period of time
oxygen toxicity
-
presence of fluid in the pleural space
pleural effusion
-
inflammation and infection of the lungs
pneumonia
-
presence of air in the intrapleural space or within other areas of the thorax
pneumothorax
-
accumulation of excessive fluid in the alveoli and interstitium
pulm edema
-
sudden partial or complete blockage of pulm artery blood flow
pulm embolism
-
blood pressure in the pulm arteries is abnormally high.
pulm htn
-
classified as hypoxemic resp failure. inability to maintain adequate oxy delivery to tissues
resp failure
-
granulomas and inflammation in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, other tissues
sarcoidosis
-
obstruction of the upper airway during sleep
osa
-
bacterial infection usually affecting the pulm system but can also affect other parts of the body.
