Appearance of CXR in patient with Emphysema Hyperlucent lung fields
Depressed or flattened diaphragm
Narrow heart
Increased retro sternal air space (lateral film)


Arterial Blood Gas findings in patient with Mild to moderate Emphysema
Emphysema Acute alveolar hyperventilation with hypoxemia


Severe Emphysema
Chronic ventilatory failure with hypoxemia


Pulmonary Function Findings in patient with Decreased flow rates and Decreased DLco
Emphysema

CBC findings in a patient with Emphysema Increased RBC, Hb, HCT


Sputum findings in a patient with Emphysema May indicate bacterial infection


Treatment/Management of Emphysema Low Flow (FiO2) oxygen therapy 1-2 L/min (.24-.28)
Antibiotics as indicated by sputum culture
Pulmonary Rehab and Home Care
Aerosolized medications
Consider NPPV for acute exacerbation of ventilatory failure
Annual Flu injection
Smoking cessation
Pulmonary Hygiene


Chronic Bronchitis Daily productive cough for at least 3 consecutive month each year for 2
years in a row


Etiology of Chronic Bronchitis Cigarette smoking
Pollution
Infection
