Emphysema Pathophysiology ~~~ Emphysema is a pathologic diagnosis defined by permanent enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles. This leads to a dramatic decline in the alveolar surface area available for gas exchange. Furthermore, loss of alveoli leads to airflow limitation by 2 mechanisms. First, loss of the alveolar walls results in a decrease in elastic recoil, which leads to airflow limitation. Second, loss of the alveolar supporting structure leads to airwa...

TMC CHAPTER 7 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2023 (VERIFIED ANSWERS) 1. Pursed-lip breathing would be most beneficial in which of the following lung disorders? A. Emphysema B. Pulmonary edema C. Pneumonia D. Pleural effusion ANSWER - A; The airways of patients with emphysema collapse during exhalation, which traps air in the lungs. If pa- tients exhale through pursed lips, back pressure is gen- erated in the airways, keeping them open longer so that more air is exhaled and less air stays trappe...

LATEST 2023 Module 5 5.1 : Introduction to Pulmonology The main function of the respiratory system is two-fold: (1) to deliver oxygen to the cells of the body and (2) remove carbon dioxide from the body. This is accomplished through the combination of the upper respiratory tract working in communication with the lower respiratory tract. A diagram of the anatomy of the respiratory tract is shown in Figure 5.1. The upper respiratory tract (URT) is outside the chest cavity and includes the nose...
