Chapter 16 Phatho Flashcards
1
Q
- What is anatomic alterations of the lungs w/ pneumonia?
- Inflammation of the alveoli, alveolar consolidation, atelectasis.
- Infection is overwhelming, the alveoli become filled w/ fluid, RBC’s, leukocytes, and macrophages.
- COPD, asthma, smoke, heart disease, diabetes, or weakened immune system.
A
- Inflammation of the alveoli, alveolar consolidation, atelectasis.
2
Q
- What is inflammation caused by?
- Infection is overwhelming, the alveoli become filled w/ fluid, RBC’s, leukocytes, and macrophages.
- Aspiration pneumonia
- Fluid and RBC’s move in the alveoli. leukocytes move in to engulf and kill invading bacteria. (white blood cells). macrophages appear to removed debris.
- Insidious : develops slowly and gradually.

Q
- What is consolidation?
- Fluid and RBC’s move in the alveoli. leukocytes move in to engulf and kill invading bacteria. (white blood cells). macrophages appear to removed debris.
- COPD, asthma, smoke, heart disease, diabetes, or weakened immune system.
- If infection is overwhelming, the alveoli become filled w/ fluid, RBC’s, leukocytes, and macrophages

Q
- Pneumonia is what type of disease?
- Insidious : develops slowly and gradually.
- Limited to the segmental bronchi and surrounding lung parenchyma. usually involves both lungs, often in lower lobes.

10
Q
- What pneumonia symptoms can?
- Limited to the segmental bronchi and surrounding lung parenchyma. usually involves both lungs, often in lower lobes
- vary greatly based on type of pneumonia and underlying cause, often presents like a cold or flu, early recognition and treatment is important.

- Limited to the segmental bronchi and surrounding lung parenchyma. usually involves both lungs, often in lower lobes
- Community acquired pneumonia, pneumonia acquired from normal social contact.

12
Q
- What is Lobar pneumonia etiology?
- Limited to the segmental bronchi and surrounding lung parenchyma. usually involves both lungs, often in lower lobes
- Community acquired pneumonia, pneumonia acquired from normal social contact.
- Is often the end result of severe bronchopneumonia in which the infection spreads from one lung segment to another until the entire lobe is involved.
