Cards

Term
Starling relationship
Definition
net filtration = (permeability x surface area) + (difference in hydraulic pressures - difference in oncotic pressures)
Term
definition of pulmonary edema
Definition
accumulation of fluid in interstitium and alveoli
Term
what is the cause of cardiogenic pulmonary edema in terms of the Starling relationship?
Definition
increased permeability
Term
stage 1 of cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Definition
subclinical, symptomatic only with exercise; widened mediastinum, some hilar infiltrates; dry alveoli, wet interstitium
Term
stage 2 of cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Definition
wet alveoli, wet interstitium; dyspnea, orthopnea, hypoxemia, crackles, frothy sputum
Term
4 causes of cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Definition
MI, hypertensive attack, mitral valve disease, fluid overload
Term
most common causes of pulmonary edema
Definition
left heart failure, ARDS
Term
most common cause of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Definition
ARDS
Term
5 causes of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Definition
ARDS, re-expansion from hanging, re-expansion from drainage, high altitude, neurogenic
Term
signs and symptoms of ARDS
Definition
onset in a few hours or 1-3days; dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, hypoxemia, altered mental status
Term
diagnostic criteria for ARDS
Definition
bilateral infiltrates on CXR, hypoxemia refractory to oxygen (PaO2/FiO2<200), no heart failure
Term
differential diagnosis for diffuse bilateral infiltrates that looks like ARDS
Definition
diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and cancer
Term
6 complications of ARDS
Definition
barotrauma, infection, MODS, DVT, PE, DIC
Term
treatment/management for ARDS
Definition
treat underlying cause + mechanical ventilation at low tidal volume and high PEEP
Term
pathophysiology of ARDS
Definition
inflammation (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-a), type II>type I alveolar cells, increased permeability, less surfactant, more coagulation
Term
end result of pathophysiology of ARDS
Definition
atelectasis, impaired gas exchanged, decreased compliance -> respiratory failure
Term
direct lung injury associated with ARDS (5)
Definition
near drowning, inhalation, aspiration, pneumonia, reperfusion
Term
indirect lung injury associated with ARDS (4)
Definition
opiates, blood transfusion, sepsis, tissue necrosis
