A

three or more features of partially controlled asthma present in any week

23
Q

what are the types of asthma

A
  • extrinsic (allergic)
  • exercise induced
  • intrinsic
  • drug induced
24
Q

describe intrinsic and other names for it

A
  • idiosyncractic, nonallergic, nonatopic
  • second most common
  • middle aged individuals
  • triggered by respiratory irritants (tobacco, air pollution, emotional stress, gastro reflux)
  • infrequently association with family hx
  • normal IgE levels
25
Q

what is the pathway for intrinsic asthma

A
  • allergen -> lymphocytes -> activation of mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils -> bradykinin, histamine, leukotrienes, interleukins -> bronchoconstriction
26
Q

what are the considerations for patients with asthma

A
  • medications
  • level of control/severity
  • how often do you use your inhaler
  • does your inhaler have a spacer
  • how many attacks per week
  • do you have any night time attacks
  • have you ever been to ER or hospitalized from an attack
  • do you have a spirometer to keep a record of your lung function
27
Q

what is status asthmaticus

A

severe prolonged asthma attack ( more than 24 hours ) -> life threatening

28
Q

what is the drug of choice for an acute asthma attack

A

short acting beta 2 adgrenergic agonist (inhaler)

29
Q

what drugs should you avoid with asthma

A
  • aspirin, NSAIDs, narcotics, macrolide antibiotics like erythromycin
  • sulfite (preservative) containing local anesthetic may need to be avoided
  • nitrous (better)
  • short acting benzodiazepine
30
Q

what is the presentation of an asthma emergency

A
  • respiratory rate greater than 25 breaths/min, labored breathing
  • tachycardio greater than 110 beats/min
  • flushed appearance
31
Q

what should you do with asthma attack emergency

A
  • stop treatment, inform supervising faculty, administer O2 and call 4444
  • remove all items from pt mouth
  • recrod the time attack began
  • raise the dental chair
  • give short acting beta 2 adrenergic agonist inhaler
  • administer O2
  • administer 0.3-0.5mL of 1:1000 epi - small doses are Sm dilators
  • call an ambulance
  • re administer short acting B2 adrenergic agonist every 20 minutes until EMS arrives
  • the emergency team will continue treating the pt with bronchodilators and oral systemic corticosteroids
32
Q

what are the types of COPD

A
  • bronchitis
  • emphysems
33
Q

what is bronchiolitis

A
  • chronic obstruction of small airways
  • excessive tracheobronchial mucus production to cause coughing and sputum production for greater than or equal to 3 months for greater than or equal to 2 consective years in the absence of infection or other causes of chronic cough
34
Q

what is emphysema

A
  • longterm chronic obstructive bronchiolitis leads to destruction of lung parenchyma and alveolar walls
  • decreased elastic recoil
  • difficulty in maintaining airway opening during expiration
35
Q

what is type II

A

type II is a progression of type I leading many to just use these as descriptive terms for COPD

36
Q

COPD is the ______ leading cause of death in the US

A

third

37
Q

what are the aggravating/complicating factors for COPD

A

  • cough
  • sputum
39
Q

what is the tx for COPD

A
  • inhaled long acting bronchodilators
  • corticosteroids if asthma also present and/or more reversible obstruction
  • smoking cessation is the only intervention that actually lessens disease progression
40
Q

what are the meds to treat asthma/COPD

A
  • short acting beta 2 agonists : albuterol
  • anti cholinergics: atrovent and spiriva

41
Q

what are the oral manifestations of COPD

A
  • dry mouth
  • steven johnson syndrome with theophylline
42
Q

dry mouth and steven johnson syndrome with theophylline exacerbate smoking side effects of:

A
  • halitosis
  • tooth staining
  • nicotine stomatitis
  • periodontal disease
  • oral potenitally malignant disorders: leukoplakia and erythroplakia
  • oral SCC
43
Q

when do you need a med consult for COPD

A

in mild to moderate COPD to determine the presence of respiratory failure right sides heart failure

44
Q

when do you consider dental tx in a hospital setting

A

COPD stage III or higher or who have respiratory and heart failure

45
Q

what do you do with greater than stage III COPD pt

A
  • place the pt in a semi supine position to avoid respiratory distress
  • avoid using a rubber dam
  • avoid treating if upper respiratory infection is present
  • local anesthetic with epi is accetable - may need to limit epi is CVD too
46
Q

what do you avoid in treatment of COPD pt

A
  • barbituates
  • narcotics
  • NO is contraindicated
  • benzodiazepines- low dose may be acceptable in certain situations- consult physician
  • erythromycin, macrolide ABs such as clarithromycin, azithromycin and ciprofloxacin should not be presscribed to COPD patients already taking theophylline
  • can cause theophylline toxicity
47
Q

what are the general, cardiovascular, respiratory, GI, and neurological symptoms of theophylline toxicity

A
  • general: agitation, irritability, restlessness
    -cardiovascular: sinus tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, hypotension, cardiac arrest
  • respiratory: tachypnea, acute lung injury, respiratory alkalosis
  • GI: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain
  • neurological: tremors, hallucinations, seizures
48
Q

what are the low level interventions

A
  • health/med eval
  • exams
  • dental prophy
  • radiographs
  • optical oral scans
49
Q

what are the moderate level interventions

A
  • SRP
  • simple restorative procedures; 1-2 teeth
  • simple extractions; 1-2 teeth
  • impressions
50
Q

what are the high risk interventions

A
  • complex restorative procedures on more than 2 teeth
