RESTRICTIVE THORACIC DISEASE

Thoracic Restriction due to causes out with the lungs

• Skeletal :Vertebrae-eg Thoracic kyphoscoliosis , Ribs –eg Traumatic multiple rib #s

• Muscle Weakness - Intercostal or Diaphragmatic (due to Myopathy/Neuropathy/Myelopathy) –eg Myaesthenia Gravis ,Guillan Barre, Motor neurone disease ,Poliomyelitis

• Abdominal Obesity/Ascites –compression of thoracic contents

• Results in Chronic alveolar under ventilation with low PaO2 (( SaO2) and raised PaCO2 and reduced lung volumes

–ie Interstitial Lung Disease –ie Interstitial Lung Disease

• Disease of alveolar structuresDisease of alveolar structures- alveolar walls/lumen ( lung interstitium )- alveolar walls/lumen ( lung interstitium )

• PathophysiologyPathophysiology impaired alveolar gas exchangeimpaired alveolar gas exchange- alveolar barrier to O- alveolar barrier to O22 exchange exchange

(ie Alveolar-Arteriolar barrier )(ie Alveolar-Arteriolar barrier )- CO- CO22 exchange unimpaired as alveolar ventilation exchange unimpaired as alveolar ventilation

Aetiology of ILD

• Fluid in the alveolar air spaces

• Cardiac Po oedema (in alv walls and lumen) due to raised Po venous pressure –ie LVF

• Non Cardiac Po oedema –Normal Po venous pressure with leaky Po capillaries -due to sepsis or trauma (Shock lung or ARDS)-due to Altitude sickness
