About Interstitial, Pleural and Pulmonary Vascular Disease and Respiratory Failure

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The unit sits in the Respiratory Medicine strand of Internal medicine, pathology and clinical semiology. It brings together three areas: lung tissue disease, pleural and pulmonary vascular problems, and respiratory failure with its ventilatory support.

Interstitial and pleural disease

Start with the flashcard deck Interstitial Diseases Associated with Granulomas. It covers sarcoidosis, its prognosis, and its skin, eye and heart findings. Then move to Interstitial Lung Disease - General and Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia. The mind maps COP, RB-ILD & DIP and Causes of Chronic ILD lay the patterns side by side. For the pleura, look at the note Pneumothorax, the Empyema map and the HYDROTHORAX quiz.

Pulmonary vascular disease

The Pulmonary Embolism Workup Flowchart is a good first stop, followed by the Pulmonary Emboli Treatment map. The quiz Clinical Medicine: Pulmonary Vascular Disease tests what you have read. The map on site directed therapy drugs in PAH looks at the physiology of pulmonary hypertension and the drugs aimed at it.

Respiratory failure and ventilation

The ARDS flashcards ask about the Berlin definition, direct and indirect causes, and the early phase. Next come Weaning MV and Extubation & Trach Weaning, then MV Complications, HFOV and the ventilator troubleshooting maps. The Severe COPD map sets out controlled oxygen targets and when to consider intubation. The several acute asthma maps show the mechanism from mast cell degranulation to bronchospasm.

How to study with it

  1. Try a quiz such as ILD first and note what you miss.
  2. Read the matching mind map to see the whole picture.
  3. Use the flashcards to fix the details.
  4. Repeat the quiz a few days later.

Teachers can lift a map or deck straight into a lesson. When you are ready, try making your own maps and flashcards on the topics you find hardest.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start on this page?

Pick a quiz first, such as the one on interstitial lung disease or the Pulmonary Vascular Disease quiz, to see what you already know. Then open the mind map on the same topic and finish with a flashcard deck. This order shows gaps early and lets you fix them.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover asthma exacerbations, COPD and severe COPD, ARDS, respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism treatment, empyema, pleural disease symptoms, and several interstitial diseases such as COP and RB-ILD and DIP. There are also maps on mechanical ventilation and ventilator troubleshooting.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to another.

Who is this page for?

It suits university students and professional candidates who want to practise recall, and teachers looking for ready-made material. Most of the resources are at university level, with a smaller share at professional level.

Is there anything on ventilators and weaning?

Yes. The flashcard decks Weaning MV, Extubation & Trach Weaning, MV Complications and HFOV cover this area. There are also mind maps on mechanical ventilation and troubleshooting the ventilator, plus a note called Ventilators.

What if I can't find my topic?

Try a related resource first, since many topics overlap, for example ARDS appears in decks, maps and the respiratory failure resources. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes for any gap.
