ILDs, Pulmonary Edema and Pleural Effusions... oh my! - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Characteristics
        
        Thin and watery
        
        few blood cells and little protein
      - Causes
        
        CHF/pulmonary embolism
    - - Characteristics
        
        high protein count
        
        cellular debris
        
        Inflammation/infection/malignancy
      - Causes
        
        Malignant pleural effusions
        
        Bacterial Pneumonias
        Parapneumonic Effusion
    - - Pus
      - Loculated
        
        Not free flowing
        Confined to one or more fixed pockets
    - - Blood
    - - Chyle = milky liquid produced in small intestine
      - Damage to thoracic duct
- - - - IF the heart is the reason
  - - - Adequate 02 and ventilation
      - CPAP!
    - - Preload reduction
      - Afterload Reduction
      - Inotropic Support
- - - - exercise intolerance
  - - - Overall, recognize that what we breathe in every day matters
      - Asbestosis
        
        Pleural Plaques
    - - Overall, recognize that extrapulmonary signs matter
      - Sarcoidosis
        
        Asymptomatic hilar adenopathy
        
        increase in ACE test and IgM, IgG and IgA
    - - Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
        
        no known cause
      - COP
        
        connective tissue plugs and
        inflammation in the small airways
        
        looks like an acute pneumonia
        but doesn't respond to antibiotics
    - - Know the members of the
        pulmonary vasculitides
        
        Churg-Strauss Syndrome
        
        Adult onset asthma
        
        Wegener's Granulomatosis
        
        Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis
    - - Focus in on
        Goodpasture's Syndrome
        
        Unique anti-GBM antibodies = unique treatment
        (plasmaphoresis)
  - - - Stiff Lungs = high PIPs
