respiratory fx ppt 9 Flashcards
pneumonia
inflammation of lung parenchyma
CAP
community acquired pneumonia
occurs in community setting or WITHIN 48 hours after hospitalization
rate increases with age
HCAP
healthcare associated pneumonia
multi-drug resistant
occurs in non-hospitalized pt with extensive healthcare contact (SNF, chemo, dialysis, wound care)
HAP
hospital acquired pneumonia
develops 48+ hrs after admission
high mortality rate (33%)
immunocompromised at risk
VAP
ventilator associated pneumonia a type of HAP r/t endotracheal intubation; increases with duration of mech. ventilation under 96 hrs = antibiotic sensitive over 96 hrs = MDR bacteria
S. pneumoniae
most common cause of CAP in pts under 60 w/o comorbidities pts over 60 with comorbidities upper respiratory tract gram positive organism
H. influenzae
CAP that frequently affects older adults and pts with comorbidities
cough or low-grade fever may be present for weeks before diagnosis
COPD!!!!
M. pneumonia
mycoplasma pneumonia
CAP spread by DROPLET
affects respiratory tract, including bronchioles
earache and bullous myringitis are common
risk factors for pneumonia
CHF DM alcoholism COPD AIDS influenza CF
s/s streptococcal pneumonia
sudden onset chills fever pleuritic pain tachypnea resp distress
s/s viral, mycoplasma, legionella
bradycardia
general s/s pneumonia
resp tract infection headache fever pleuritic pain, myalgia rash pharyngitis
diagnostics
chest xray
blood culture
sputum culture
bronchoscopy
pneumococcal vaccincation
reduces incidence of pneumonia
reduces cardiac hospitalizations
reduces deaths among elderly
nursing assessment
vitals (tachypnea?) secretions cough inspect/auscultate chest mental status changes
