Middle RI
How? Who?
URI extension = young children
Middle RI
S/s
Laryngitis, epiglottitis
Mucosal swelling w/ laryngospasm
Epiglottitis cause
H. Influenza B
Strep Group A
Strep Pneumo
Histology
Alveolus , Bronchiole, Bronchi
Alveolus = 1 cell thick
Bronchiole = cilia Bronchi = cilia, mucus
Pleural effusion
effect on lung
collapses lung (atelectasis)
Pleural effusion
Transudate seen in…
- CHF
- Nephrotic Syndrome
- Cirrhosis
Pleural effusion
Exudate seen in…
- Inflammatory
- Infectious
- Reactive (embolus, diaphragm)
- Malignant
Pneumothorax
Parietial pleura …
- Trauma
* Needle/catheter insertion
Pneumothorax
Visceral pleura…
- subpleural rupture
* subpleural lung necrosis
Pleuritis
Fluid effusion
Empyema
Pus effusion
Fibrothorax
Connective tissue
Obstructive lung disease
examples
Chronic bronchitis Emphysema Asthma Bronchiectasis Small Airway dz
Obstructive dz
s/s
- airflow limitation
- progressive
- not reversible
- possible inflammation
- Neutrophils, CD8 T cells, macrophages
Restrictive Dz
ex
- interstitial inflammation
- Interstitial fibrosis
- fibrosing alveolitis
- Pneumoconioses
- collagen/vascular dz
- Drug/radiation
Emphysema
Interstitial fibrosis?
NO
Bullous Emphysema
s/s
- Subpleural emphysema
- bullous change
- pneumothorax (no elasticity, so will break)
Emphysema
S/S
- Dyspnea
- late cough
- Minimumal sputum (NO inflammation)
- NO infection
- loss of elastic recoil + hyperinflation
