What is something we can teach parents to help with their child’s asthma during the winter months?

A

Cover the mouth of the child with a scarf

31
Q

Describe how the bronchioles are narrowed in asthma.

Inflammatory response narrows the lumen, and mucus further occludes it.

Looks at the literature on a specific topic and an expert panel uses the information to inform practice

A

Cochrane review

33

Blue 1, Red 40, yellow 5 and yellow 6

36
Q

Which dyes are the most notorious for triggering asthmatic responses?

A

Yellow 5 (and 6)

37
Q

These internal triggers may trigger asthmatic response.

A

GERD and emotional stress

38
Q

Asthma treatment:

  • Limit exposure to ______
  • Educate patients and family
  • Drugs - which ones?
  • continuous asssessment of asthma control and severity
  • Have an action plan
  • Regular follow up with HCPs
A

triggers
Drugs - short-acting B2-agonist inhaled bronchodilators (e.g. salbutamol, terbutaline)
- inhaled or oral corticosteroids

39
Q

Why is the patient’s mouth rinsed after steroid inhalation?

A

To prevent oropharyngeal candidiasis

40
Q

What would an action plan entail for an person with asthma?

A

Having an epipen ready
if the temperature drops, warm up the child
Want to stress having a plan to the patient

41
Q

What is given first for asthma treatment, the bronchodilators or corticosteroids?

A

B before C

bronchodilators before corticosteroids

42
Q

How does one know if the bronchodilator canister is full?

A

Sumerge it in water - if it sinks it is full, if it floats it is empty

43
Q

What is the purpose of shaking the canister?

A

Evenly distributes the medication

44
Q

What is the person’s mouth washed with after corticosteroid inhalation?

A

diluted mouthwash or water

45
Q

When using an inhaler, where should it be positioned?

In what cases would this not be possible? What is done?

A

4cm or 2 inches away from mouth

For some patients with respiratory decline, will have to put mouth over inhaler or use a spacer

46
Q

If a patient will have a second puff, how long should they wait before taking the other?

A

1-2 minutes

47
Q

Describe the steps for teaching a client to use an inhaler.

A

Shake inhaler vigorously

Discharge a dose if inhaler has not been used in last 24 hr.

Breathe out to end of normal breath

Position inhaler 4 cm from mouth

Open mouth, tilt head slightly back, at the same time as you start to breathe in depress the inhaler

Continue breathing in for about 5 sec, hold for 8-10 sec, then breathe out.

Wait 1-2 min in between puffs

Oral rinse pc steroid inhaler to avoid oropharyngeal candida

Q

Describe the tongue position when using an aero chamber spacer

A

keep tongue down and relaxed

smoking (number one cause), reoccuring RTI, heredity and aging

50
Q

What are the cardinal symptoms of COPD?

Makes eating less labourous and makes eating more successful

56

Use lowest flow rate for oxygen therapy

57
Q

Describe the physical exercise plan for COPD patients.

provide exercises that are doable - e.g. walking

stop smoking

58
Q

What are some patient and family teaching we provide centered around COPD?

Q

What does CPAP stand for? IPAP?

A

Continuous positive airway pressure

inspiratory positive airway pressure

60
Q

Respiratory ventilation used primarily in the treatment of sleep apnea and for those critically ill in hospital with respiratory failure, and with neonates

A

PAP - positive airway pressure

61
Q

How does IPAP help?

A

Decreases work done by respiratory muscles

bronchioles and alveoli are prevented from collapsing at the end of expiration

62
Q

Autosomal recessive, multi-system disease of endocrine glands involving primarily the lungs, pancreas and sweat glands.
It causes abnormally thick, abundant secretions from mucus glands which can lead to obstructive pulmonary disorder.

A

CF

63
Q

CF genetics?
Carrier rate?
Found in what proportion of births?
Most children diagnosed by?

A

autosomal recessive
1:25 carrier rate
1:300 live births (1:2000 on slide)
Most diagnosed by age 2

64
Q

What are parents of CF children taught to do as a treatment?

A

Postural drainage - feet higher than head, drain mucus out of lungs - also use clapping back and anterior chest to help move secretions
Also taught how to suction mucus out

65
Q

What machines are used in CF treatment?

A

PEP - positive expiratory pressure breathing machines

66
Q

What type of drugs are CF patients on?

A

Bronchodilators, steroids, antibiotics (prophylactically) and handfuls of pancreatic enzymes (digest mucus)

vitamins as well due to malabsorption

67
Q

Why does a lung transplant not cure a patient?

A

There are still sweat gland and GI issues

68
Q

worn over the chest, vest is attached to an air generator that inflates and deflates the vest very quickly. This motion vibrates the chest and loosens mucus.
