croup
caused by subglottic inflammation and edema
acute laryngotracheobronchitis
kids 6 months - 5 years
commonly caused by parainfluenza virus
spasmodic croup
older children
sudden night onset with no prior illness
triggered by cold, allergies, or viral infection
croup occurs after
episode of rhinorrhea, sore throat, low grade fever, inspiratory stridor and hoarse voice
croup causes
seal-like barking cough
acute epiglottitis
sever infection of epiglottis and surrounding area
caused by haemophilus influenzae type B
Hib vaccine
manifestations of acute epiglottitis
high fever irritability sore throat inspiratory stridor muffled voice severe respiratory distress treatment: no throat exam, emergency airway and antibiotics
tonsillar infections
complication of infectious mononucleosis
can lead to upper airway obstruction
bacterial tracheitis
caused by S. aureus, H. influenzae or group A beta-hemolytic strep
treated with antibiotics and endotracheal intubation
bronchiolitis
associated pathogen: respiratory syncytial virus manifestations: rhinorrhea tight cough decreased appetite, lethargy, fever wheezing, tachypnea
obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
partial or intermittent complete upper airway obstruction during sleep most common cause in children is adenotonsillar hypertrophy manifestations: snoring laboured breathing daytime sleepiness chronic mouth breathing treatment: tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy or CPAP
respiratory distress syndrome
poor lung structure and lack of adequate surfactant
primary disease of preterm infants
caused by surfactant deficiency
causes widespread atelectasis resulting in hypoxemia
pulmonary hypertension
causes continued shunting of blood away from the lungs symptoms: tachypnea expiratory grunting nasal flaring and retractions cyanosis
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
poor formation of the alveolar structure with fewer and larger alveoli and decreased area for gas exchange
associated with premies, prolonged perinatal supplemental oxygen and positive pressure ventilation
bronchopulmonary dysplasia manifestations
hypoxemia hypercapnia elevated work of breathing brochospasm mucous plugging pulmonary hypertension
diaphragmatic breathing
focuses on using the diaphragm instead of accessory muscles to achieve maximum inhalation and to slow the respiratory rate
nutritional therapy
BMI between 21 - 25 kg/m2
use bronchodilator before meals
5-6 small meals a day

streptococci and staphylococci
pneumococcal pneumonia most common cause of bacterial pneumonia
viral pneumonia
most common one in children is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
also parainfluenza, influenza and adenovirus
aspiration pneumonitis
caused by foreign substance in the lungs resulting in inflammation of lung tissue
bronchiolitis obliterans
fibrotic obstruction of the respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts secondary to intense inflammation
usually sequelae to severe viral pulmonary infection

autosomal recessive inherited disease
affects lungs, digestive tract, and reproductive organs
mucous plugging, chronic inflammation, and chronic infection of small air ways
