Слайд 1Pathology of Respiration
24 March 2015
Слайд 2Respiratory failure
Lungs are unable to provide:
an adequate supply of
O2
and/or to remove CO2 efficiently
In arterial blood: pO2 - 95 - 100 mm Hg
pCO2 - 43 - 46 mm Hg
Classification:
Acute failure – minutes to hours (bronchial asthma attack, acute pneumonia).
Subacute –days to weeks (pneumonia, bronchitis).
Chronic – months to years (emphysema of lungs, disseminated lung fibrosis).
Слайд 3Respiratory failure classification
Type 1 – hypoxia without hypercapnia
low oxygen in
the air
ventilation/perfusion mismatch
pnemonia, lung edema
gases diffusion disturbances
Type 2 – hypoxia with hypercapnia
reduced breathing effort;
increased resistance to breathing (asthma);
? in the area of the lung that is not available for gas exchange (COPD,emphysema).
Слайд 4Reasons of respiratory failure
Disturbances of lungs function
ventilation,
perfusion,
alveolar
ventilation-perfusion ratio,
gases diffusion through alveolar-capillary membrane.
Слайд 5Reasons of respiratory failure
Extra-lungs disturbances of:
nervous regulation of respiration (brain stroke
or trauma, tumour, drugs overdose),
respiratory muscles function (myasthenia, poliomyelitis),
chest respiratory movements (fracture of ribs or spinal column, chest wall deformities),
blood circulation in the lungs (cardiac failure, severe anemia).

VIOLATIONS OF RESPIRATION
EXTRA-LUNGS REASONS
Alveolar hypoventilation
MIXED
Слайд 7Obstructive lung disorders
Obstruction of the upper respiratory ways:
embolism (foreign
substance),
compression (tumour),
spasm of larynx (neurogenous, inflammatory).
Decreased permeability of the lower respiratory ways:
increased bronchial muscles tonus (bronchospasm),
embolism of bronchi:
edema of bronchial mucous membranes
hypersecretion of mucus by bronchial glands (inflammation, asthma).
Violation of bronchi flexibility
lungs emphysema.
Слайд 8Restrictive lung diseases
Disturbances of lung’s expansion
Pulmonary reasons:
? area of lung
(resection, tuberculosis)
? elasticity of lung tissue (pneumosclerosis, lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis)
Alveolar or interstitial lung edema
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Deficiency of surfactant (premature infants)
Слайд 9Restrictive lung diseases
Extrapulmonary reasons:
Changes in pleura and mediastinum (exudative pleurisy, pneumothorax,
cardiomegaly).
Changes of thorax and respiratory muscles (deformation of thorax, paralysis of diaphragm).
Changes of abdominal cavity organs (hepatomegaly, ascites).
Слайд 10Disorders of perfusion
Hyperperfusion
Local - pneumonia.
Total - stress reaction
or asphyxia.
Erythrocytes have less time for normal gas exchange ?hypoxemia.
The diffusion of CO2– not altered.
Type 1 respiratory failure
Слайд 11Disorders of perfusion
Hypoperfusion
heart pathology (heart failure, valvular disorders)
vessels pathology (atherosclerosis,
thromboembolism).
Pathogenetic mechanisms:
low cardiac output
opening of shunts between arteries and veins of pulmonary circulation
obstruction of lung vessels
Type 1 respiratory failure
Слайд 12Mismatching of ventilation and perfusion
Ventilation/perfusion ratio differs in lungs physiologically
Reason of
pathological mismatch:
Problems with ventilation
Collapsed airways (emphysema)
Bronchoconstriction (COPD, asthma)
Inflammation (bronchitis, pneumonia)
Lung diseases (fibrosis, pulmonary vascular congestion)
Low oxygen in alveoli ↓ perfusion
Carbon dioxide is increased
Type 2 respiratory failure
Слайд 13Diffusion impairment
↑ distance for diffusion (lung edema, inflammation, fibrous changes).
↓
permeability of the alveolar capillary membrane ( ARDS, pulmonary edema, emphysema).
Type 1 respiratory failure
Слайд 14Manifestations
of respiratory failure
Hypoxemia - pO2 < 50 mm Hg
Hypercapnia - pCO2 >50 mm Hg.
Hypoxemia Manifestations.
resulting from impaired function of vital centers
resulting from activation of compensatory mechanisms
Слайд 15Hypoxemia Manifestations
impairment of mental performance and behavior
peripheral vasoconstriction
diaphoresis (sweating)
central or peripheral cyanosis
↑ blood pressure
↑ heart rate, hyperventilation
Слайд 16Hypercapnia Manifestations
↓ pH and respiratory acidosis
compensated by renal bicarbonate retention
vasodilating effect of CO2 :
increase in cerebral blood flow and cerebral spinal fluid pressure (headache);
hyperemic conjunctivae;
warm and flushed skin.
Nervous system effects of CO2 -progressive somnolence, disorientation, coma.
Слайд 17Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Causes
aspiration of gastric contents, toxic
gases
trauma (with or without fat emboli),
sepsis
acute pancreatitis
pneumonia, alveolar bleedings
reactions to drugs and toxins.
Слайд 18ARDS pathogenesis and clinics
Injury and ↑ permeability of the alveolar-capillary
membrane? lung edema
Neutrophils - inactivate surfactant and ↑ damage of the alveolar cells.
lung becomes harder
Слайд 19ARDS clinical manifestation
rapid onset, 12 to 18 hours after initial event
↑
in respiratory rate
signs of respiratory failure
diffuse bilateral consolidation of the lung tissue
marked hypoxemia
multiple organ failure (kidneys, GIT, CNS, and cardiovascular system)
Слайд 20Pulmonary edema
cardiogenic (left-sided heart failure)
Слайд 21Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
alveolar walls damage by toxic compounds (Phosporus), proteolytic
enzymes (a. pancreatitis)
microbe affection of lungs (local – bacterial pneumonia, systemic – sepsis)
quick intravenous infusion of big amount of fluid (physiological solution, blood substitutes) – due to ”blood dilution”
anaphylactic allergic reaction – due to BAS influence
↑ catecholamines – generalized vasoconstriction ?lung hypertension and blood congestion.

“air hunger”
Слайд 25Dyspnea classification
According to pathogenesis
Cerebral dyspnoea (central) - violation of respiratory center
or cortex function.
Lung dyspnoea– diseases of lungs, bronchi, pleura.
Cardiac dyspnoea - heart diseases with cardiac failure.
Hematic dyspnoea - ↓ in blood oxygen capacity (anaemia), acidosis.
Слайд 26Dyspnea classification
Due to dyspnea character:
Hyperpnea
Tachypnea
Bradypnea
Apnoea
Due to altered phase of respiration:
Inspiratory dyspnea
Expiratory dyspnea
Mixed dyspnoea
Слайд 27Dyspnoe mechanisms
Humoral – increase of pCO2 and decrease of pO2, shift
of pH to the acid side.
Neuroregulatory – violated impulsion from chemoreceptors and baroreceptors.
Central – dysfunction of respiratory center, or cortex neurons.
Слайд 28Cerebral dyspnea
Excitation of respiratory centre - frequent deep respiration.
Inhibition
of respiratory center - frequent superficial respiration.
Periodic breathing appears at brain affections by:
trauma
stroke
tumour
inflammation
endogenous and exogenous intoxications
Слайд 29Cheyne-Stokes respiration

Слайд 34Asphyxia
a condition of severe deficiency of oxygen supply with severe
disorders of nervous system, respiration and circulation of the blood
Causes:
Insufficient environmental oxygen:
Inhalation of non-oxygen gases (helium, CO2 fire).
Loss of aircraft cabin pressure;
Exposure to a vacuum.
Слайд 35Asphyxia causes
Physical obstruction of air flow
Compressive asphyxia
Drowning (water or other
liquids).
Choking due to object in the airways or inhalation of vomit.
Narrowing of the airways (anaphylaxis, asthma).
Disturbances of respiration
CO inhalation.
Pulmonary agents (phosgene),blood agents (cyanide).
Drug overdose.
Слайд 36Asphyxia stages
1st stage - ↑ frequency of breathing, BP and heart
rate - phase of inspiratory dyspnea – compensation of acute hypoxia.
2nd stage- more rare respiration with enforced expiration, slowing-down of heart rate and BP - phase of expiratory dyspnea.
3rd stage - temporary (from several seconds to several minutes) stopping of breathing (preterminal pause); low BP, reflexes, loss of consciousness.
4th stage - terminal or agonal breathing (rare deep convulsive «sighs» during several minutes); respiratory centre paralysis and death.
