Types of Disorders of Ventilation and Diffusion
Acquire O2 needed for cell metabolism, remove CO2 needed to maintain pH & optimal cell functioning
Ventilation
Altered by
Obstruction or restriction of airflow
Pneumonia
Treatment
Macrolide + antibiotic
Macrolide: azithromycin
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Emphysema
Smoking cessation & lung therapy
Maintenance of optimal lung function
Bronchodilators, steroid anti-inflammatories
Chronic Bronchitis
Bronchodilator therapy
Smoking Cessation
Treatments
Pulmonary rehabilitation
Steroid anti-inflammatories
Mucolytic agents
Supplemental oxygen
Asthma
Pharmacologic therapy to reverse inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucous secretion
Controlling environmental factors
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Treatments
Administration of 100% oxygen
Removal of causative factors that are triggering the inflammatory response
Inhibition of neuronal stimulation + mechanics of breathing
Exchange O2 + CO2 at the cell alveolar capillary junction
Diffusion
Altered by
Increased thickness of ACJ, Decreased usable surface area of ACJ
Emphysema
Mucolytic agents
Asthma
Pharmacologic therapy to reverse inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucous secretion
Cystic Fibrosis
Liquefying and clearing the airways of mucus
Avoiding and controlling respiratory infections
Reducing inflammation and promoting bronchodilation in the airways
Decreased partial pressure, Decreased solubility
Metabolic acidosis
Pneumonia
Treatment
Macrolide + antibiotic
Macrolide: azithromycin
Hypoxia
Asthma
Treatments
Controlling environmental fectors
Pharmacologic therapy to reverse inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucous secretion
