    7 Obstruc Airway Dse

    Derrick Gramata
    Restrictive lung disease is characterized by reduced total lung capacity, where the lungs are restricted from fully expanding. It can be intrinsic, originating from within the lungs from conditions like pneumonia or tumors. It can be extrinsic, originating from outside the lungs from things like ascites or rib fractures. Or it can be neurologic, from issues like paralysis of the diaphragm. Obstructive lung disease in infants and children can cause life-threatening emergencies and includes conditions like asthma, bronchiectasis, and COPD. It is generally characterized by inflamed and collapsible airways, obstruction to airflow, difficulty exhaling, and increased residual volume and air trapping.

    Obstructive Airway

    Diseases In Infants &


    Children
    Restrictive Lung Disease

    Characterized by reduced TLC


    Characterized predominantly by inflammation
    and fibrosis of the pulmo. connective tissue
    Lungs are restricted from fully expanding=
    person is having difficulty taking a full breath
    May be intrinsic, extrinsic or neurologic
    Restrictive Lung Disease

    Intrinsic
    Inherent to the lungs themselves
    Sarcoidosis
    Pneumonia TB
    Pneumonectomy
    Restrictive
    Extrinsic
    Lung Disease
    Originates from outside the anatomical
    boundaries of the lungs
    Scoliosis, kyphosis
    Pleural effusions
    tumors
    ascites
    pleurisy
    Rib fractures
    Restrictive Lung Disease

    Neurologic
    Paralysis of diaphragm
    Myasthenia gravis
    Muscular dystrophy
    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
    Obstructive Lung
    disease
    Airway obstruction in infants and children can
    produce rapidly progressive life-threatening
    emergencies.
    An understanding of the common symptom
    complexes associated with regional obstructive
    abnormalities allows rapid evaluation and
    appropriate therapy
    Obstructive Lung
    disease

    Includes:
    Asthma
    Bronchiectasis
    COPD -Bronchitis and Emphysema
    Obstructive Lung
    disease
    Generally characterized by:
    Inflamed and easily collapsible airways
    Obstruction to airflow
    Difficulty exhaling
    Increased RV= air trapping and hyperinflation
