Types of Disorders of Ventilation & Diffusion - Coggle Diagram
Types of Disorders of Ventilation & Diffusion
all chronic obstructive lung problems
COPD
inflammation & narrowing of airways
Asthma
inflammation & excess mucus production
Chronic Bronchitis
destruction of alveolar walls & decreased lung elasticity
Emphysema
inflammation & consolidation of lung tissue
Pneumonia
Altered Ventilation
alveolar collapse & consolidation
decreased lung compliance & gas exchange
Altered Diffusion
acute lung injury
inflammation/damage to alveolar-capillary membrane
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
genetic disorder
thick, sticky mucus production
Cystic Fibrosis
Altered Ventilation
airway obstruction & decreased lung compliance
increased air trapping & difficulty exhaling
