Chapter 30, 31 Flashcards
the most common port of entry for cold viruses is
conjunctival surfaces of the eyes
influenza could lead to
pneumonia
3 types of pneomina
community acquired, hospital acquired and immunocompromised
community acquired pneumonia is what bacteria
streptococus
hospital acquired pneumonia is
VAP
immunocomprimised pneumonia
defects in cellular immunity predispose to infections with viruses, fungi, mycobacterium and protozoa
example of immunocomprimised pneumonia in AIDS
pnuemocystis carini
pneumonia is the most common cause of death from
infectious disease
pneumococcal _________ _______ most common,
streptococcus pneumoniae
pneumococcal virulence is a function of its ______ which prevents or delays _______ by phagocytes
capsules, digestion
people at risk of pneumococcal
elderly, trauma patient/immunocomprimised
spleen play a major rode in both _____ production and ______ activity
antibody, macrophage
symptoms of pneumococcal
malaise, severe shaking chill, fever, crackles
in elderly pneumococcal they may only have 2 symptoms
mental status change and appetite change
people who should get vaccine for pneumococcal
elderly, sickle cell and splenectomy
tuberculosis is an _______ disease
inhaled
tuberculosis anergy
false negative reaction
anergy in immunocomprmised people it can mean that the person
has a true lack of exposure to the tuberculosis or is unable to mount an immune response to the test
ghon complex
nodules in lung tissue and lymph nodes
initial TB infection results in granulomatous lesion or ______ focus containing
macrophages, T cells and inactive TB bacteria
Ghon
2 types of lung cancer
small cell and non small cell
one of the key manifestations of center is
ectopic hormones secreted by tumor cells (paraneiplastic disorders)
ADH
syndrom of inapprotipate ADH
ACTH
cushings
PTH
related protein hypercalecemia
clubbing
fingers swell by nail
respiratory disorders have in infants and children why?
immature musculoskeletal system
2 types of respiratory obstruction in children
extrathoracic airways (upper)
intrathoracic airways (lower)
extrathoracic airways (upper) have inspiratory retractions as ribs are moved outward and body wall
does not expand with rib cage
intrathoracic airways (lower) rib cage retractions as ribs are pulled inward but air
does not leave lungs
premature babies are deficient in
surfactant
when a premature baby has a lack of surfactant they are not strong enough to
inflate their alveoli
T/F: premature infants are at greater risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome than term infants
T (why? bc premies are lacking type 2 alveoli which leads to no surfactant)
epiglottis medical emergency how does the child apper
toxic, lethargic, difficulty swallowing, muffle voice, drooling, fever, distress
if you see a child presenting with symptoms of epiglottis medical emergency what should you avoid
aggressive examination (do not look at throat or lay down unless at the hospital)
hypventialtion causes
hypercapnia and hypoxia
hypoventialltion can be caused by
depression of respiratory center, diseases of respiratory nerves/muslces, thoracic cage disorders
causes of respiratory failure
hypoventilation, ventilation/perfusion mismatching, impaired diffusion
impaired diffusion leads to
hypoxemia (not hypercapnia)
impaired diffusion is caused by
interstitial lung diease, ARDS, pulmonary edema, pneumonia
hypoxemia is low
O2
hypoxemia may present with cyanosis but why should you NOT rely on cyanosis
may be late and is unreliable in dark skin tones
mild hypoxemia produces few manifestations a slight impairment of _______ performance, and visual activity, hyperventilation and impaired ________, a patient may have complete personality change where grandma is nice but becomes _________
mental, judgement, comabtive
hypercapnia is a increase in
CO2
hypercapnia is caused by
respiratory acidosis
hydrothorax
serous fluid
empyema
pus
