NYU Patho- Week 6- respiratory
disorders Exam with Guaranteed Pass
Solutions 2025 Updated.
Diagnostic measures for testing respiratory health - Answer 1. spirometry test to test
exhalation capacity
2. ABGs (check CO2, check oxygen, bicarb, PH)
3. exercise tolerance test (put on a tread mill-used often for patient with COPD)
4. Chest x-ray/CT/MRI
5. physical assessment
6. bronchoscopy
7. culture and sensitivity tests
Tidal volume - Answer amount of oxygen expelled in normal inspiration and expiration
Residual Volume - Answer air in lungs after max exhalation
Inspiratory Reserve Volume - Answer maximum amount of air you can breathe in after taking a
normal breath
Expiratory reserve volume - Answer maximum amount of air you can breathe out after
breathing out normally
Vital capacity - Answer maximum amount of air that can be expired after maximum inspired.
Total lung capacity - Answer greatest amount possible in lungs (Residual+ maximum
FEV1- Forced expiration Volume 1 - Answer amount you can expire in 1 second
Eupnea - Answer normal inhale exhale (breath out longer than inhale)
apnea - Answer no breathing
, tachypnea - Answer fast and shallow breaths
cheyne-stokes breaths - Answer deep periods, shallow periods, and apnea, waxing, waning
Kussumal's - Answer with diabetes ketoacidosis, deep sighing with increased rate (specific
form of pursed lip breath)
atoxic - Answer completely irregular breaths with intermittent apneas
apneusis - Answer long gasping inspiration with short expiration
What bacteria causes Tuberculosis - Answer mycobacterium tuberculosis
how is TB spread - Answer airborne droplet
which populations are most vulnerable to TB - Answer 1.immunocompromised (HIV)
2. densely populated areas
3. malnourished
4. alcoholics
5. chronic disease
pathogenesis of TB in patients with high resistance - Answer 1. inhale mycobacterium
2. inflammatory response
3. immune response kills cells to create a tubercle around infection, which eventually turns into
a granuloma known as a Ghon Complex
4. patient stays asymptomatic until their immune system is compromised again at which point
the infection can reactivate and spread
pathogenesis of TB in patients with low resistance (both in primary and secondary forms of TB) -
Answer 1. mycobacterium overwhelms hosts defenses
2. causes cavitation (large areas of necrosis
3. highly contagious
