Asthma (TH2) by Pauline Wong https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik NUR5923 Respiratory Pathophysiology en-us 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC 2023-03-15 23:53:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Instructions paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716828
  • Choose a spokesperson
  • All students in the group are to work on all of the following questions/sections included in the Padlet
  • You can use diagrams/images other visual resources to explain each respiratory condition.
  • When we come back to the whole class, the spokesperson will feedback the groups findings, with the teams support

Brief definition paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716829 Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by the inflammation and narrowing of the smooth muscles in response to triggers. ]]> 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716829 2. Is it obstructive or restrictive? Why? paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716832 Obstructive - narrowing of the smooth muscles, constricting the lumen, decreasing the diameter of the airway. Obstructing airflow]]> 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716832 3. How does the condition effect lung compliance and/or airway resistance? paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716834 Airway resistance is increases, as it involves constriction of the smooth muscles surrounding the bronchioles and mucosal hypersecretion within the lumen. This causes narrowing of the bronchioles and less space for the air to pass through. This causes higher airway pressure and therefore decreased ventilation. ]]> 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716834 4. Explain the role of V/Q mismatch in this condition. paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716837 Low V/Q mismatch: low ventilation, more perfusion]]> 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716837 5. How is oxygenation and ventilation affected? Eg. consider O2 content, O2 delivery, alveolar ventilation paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716840 same O2 concentration, less O2 delivery, decreased alveolar ventilation]]> 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716840 6. What type of respiratory failure would this condition lead to? paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716842 T1RF ]]> 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716842 7. What are the typical ABGs and why? paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716843 N to low pH
    PaO2 low
    PaCO2 high

    respiratory acidosis]]>     2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716843     8. What are the typical clinical manifestations/ patient assessment data? (relate these to pathophysiology concepts already described) paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716844 increased WOB
    expiratory wheeze
    drowsy and confused
    can't speak in full sentences
    tripoding
    Tachycardia 
    T1RF]]>     2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716844     9. OPTIONAL: Important vocabulary (include list of key vocabulary referenced; if you do not know the term(s), look up and add a definition for the word(s)) paulinewong1 https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716845 2023-03-08 00:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulinewong1/fyv4hv6f7k39vqik/wish/2507716845
