with 100% Error-free Answers.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) correct answers - Is a restrictive disease that causes lung volumes
to decrease
- primary pathologic change are Alveolar-capillary membrane structures replaced by fibrotic
tissue
- Causes increased mPAP & CVP
- Cause pleural friction rub and cor pulmonale
- consist of dull percussion notes
- Cough and dyspnea are the two most common symptoms
- The term refers to a broad group of inflammatory lung disorders characterized by fibrotic
infiltrates in the lower lobes
- If left untreated, the inflammatory process can progress to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis.
1. pleural effusion.
2. honeycombing.
3. cavity formation.
4. granulomas. correct answers - Chest radiograph findings in a patient with ILD can include?
Restrictive correct answers - Which pulmonary function pattern is seen in interstitial lung
diseases?
- The fibrin tissue that forms in the interstitial spaces causes lung volumes to decrease
Coarse inspiratory and expiratory crackles correct answers - Most common finding in ILD
patients when auscultating the chest
Non-productive Cough and Exertional dyspnea correct answers - are the two most common
symptoms in patients with ILD's
Progressive exertional dyspnea correct answers For what reasons do patients with ILD most
commonly seek medical care
Alveolar-capillary membrane structures replaced by fibrotic tissue correct answers - This is the
primary pathological change that occurs with ILD's
Chronic Interstitial lung disease (ILD) correct answers - Anatomical alterations at this stage of
ILD are: Honeycombing, granulomus & intersitial thinking with hypoventilation
Honeycombing correct answers - A classic radiograhic finding present in End-stage (Chronic)
Interstitial lung disease (ILD)
FEV1/FVC ratio correct answers - This pulmonary function value is increased or stays normal in
interstitial lung diseases
, - the larger decrease in FVC makes this increase.
sarcoidosis correct answers - A patient with this diseases will have the longest life expectancy
- One most common interstitial lung diseases
- granulomatous lesions of the lungs and other organs
- cause is unknown
asbestosis correct answers - Its is when you Inhale asbestos fibers
- connected with this and mesothelioma but not emphysema
Corticosteroids correct answers - These Anti-inflammatory medications are commonly used in
all ILDs.
idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) correct answers - ILD classification of these types of
pneumonia: Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, nonspecific
interstitial pneumonitis, and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia.
Pulmonary Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (PLCH) correct answers - This ILD is directly tied to
exposure to first and second hand tobacco smoke
- Increased number of polyclonal activated macrophages plus fibroblasts and eosinophils near
small airways;
- stellate (star-shaped) nodules destroy nearby lung tissue; HRCT shows stellate nodules and
cysts
hypersensitivity pneumonitis correct answers - symptoms of acute, subacute, and chronic may
include flu-like illness
- acute symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain fever, chills, malaise, rales & cough;
- Inflammatory reaction provoked by inhalation or organic dusts
- This ILD is also know as Extrinsic allergic alveolitis
- Antibodies that trigger the hypersensitivity reaction may be found in the blood.
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis correct answers - The classic chest radiographic findings in
interstitial lung disease (ILD) are considered to be those caused by which of its component
diseases
- formation of scar tissue in the lung without known cause
- The low lung volumes and resulting hypoxemia cause pulmonary vasoconstriction and
pulmonary hypertension
lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) correct answers - A rare ILD that causes a chylothorax in 1/3
of patients
- tends to affect women of childbearing age
- muscle cells that line the lungs' airways and blood vessels begin to multiply abnormally.
muscle-strengthening exercises (Pulmonary rehabilitation) correct answers - These treatments
are commonly used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- allows patients to use less energy to accomplish daily tasks
