This is the acute inflammation of the trachea and bronchi
Acute Bronchitis
The two most common causes of acute bronchitis
Chemical Irritation
Viral Infection
Diagnose the patient:
o Mild fever from 1-3 days o Malaise o Sore throat o Cough with sputum production, followed by wheezing o Possibly laryngitis
Acute Bronchitis
What is the Histological Hallmark in Chronic Bronchitis?
Mucous Membrane Hyperplasia
This disease is associated with prolonged exposure to nonspecific bronchial irritants.
There is swelling of the mucous membrane and thick sputum that obstruct the airways.
Patients exhibit wheezing.
Chronic Bronchitis
Diagnose the Patient:
o Persistent cough with production of sputum o Reduced chest expansion o Wheezing o Fever o Dyspnea o Cyanosis o Decreased exercise tolerance
Chronic Bronchitis
This is a chronic irreversible disease of the lungs characterized by alveolar wall damage and loss of normal elastic tension of the lungs.
emphysema
These are pockets of air in between the alveolar spaces
Blebs
Air sacs in the lung parenchyma
Bullae
What are the three types of Emphysema
- Centrilobular
- Paraseptal
- Panlobular
Type of emphysema where bronchioles are inflamed with intact alveolar sac
centrilobular
Type of emphysema where there is destruction of the distal alveolar walls
Panlobular
Type of emphysema where there is destruction of the distal alveolar walls resulting in isolated bleb formation along the periphery of the lungs
Paraseptal
What is the hallmark sign of emphysema
forced expiratory time more than 6 seconds indicating severe expiratory airflow obstruction.
Diagnose the Patient:
▪ Use of accessory muscle of respiration ▪ Dyspnea on exertion ▪ Peripheral cyanosis ▪ Barrel chest ▪ Malaise
Emphysema
Diagnose the Patient:
▪ Prolonged expiratory period ▪ Pursed-lip breathing ▪ Chronic cough ▪ Weight loss ▪ Wheezing
Emphysema
This is abnormal and permanent dilation of the bronchi
Bronchiecstasis
what is the most common cause of bronchiecstasis?
- Recurrent infection (Pneumonia and Cystic Fibrosis)
Hallmark sign of bornchiecstasis
Chronic cough, hemoptysis and recurrent pneumonia
Hypersensitive airways resulting to reversible obstructive lung disease
Asthma
What are the 6 triggers of asthma
- Respiratory infection
- Cigarette smoke
- Pollen, mold, animal hair, feather, dust insects
- Physical exertion
- Cold air, temperature change
- Strong emotions
What are the 3 categories of asthma
- conventional/standard asthma
- Occupational Asthma
- Exercise-Induced Asthma
other name of Severe bronchospasm
Status asthmaticus
Main treatment for asthma
Leukotriene modifiers (decreases inflammation and relaxes airways)
This is the first indicator from HIV to AIDS
Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia
An infection that inflames your lungs’ air sacs (alveoli)
Pneumonia
Common causes of pneumonia
o Aspiration of fluids, food or vomitus
o Inhalation of chemicals, dust, smoke or gas
o Bacterial or viral infection
Type of pneumonia caused by intra-alveolar bacteria
Bacterial Pneumonia
