-
Cystic Fibrosis
- Genetic Disorder
- S&S: chronic cough, failure to gain weight, grequendt reps infection, fatigue, decreased endurance, decreased exercise tolerance
- Diagnosis Sweat test, xray, blood gasses
- Treatment: Monitor hydration, diet
- Chest PT percussion and posteral drainage
- Bronchodilator meds, Prophylactic antibiotics
- Humidification
- Exercise
-
Lung Cancer
- Patho: Common site of 1st or 2nd CA. Metastasis from other locations presence of tume obrtructs airflow-inflammation, response & frequenct infections
- Etiology: cigarette smoking, exposure to pollutants
- Local S&S: persistent cough dyspnea, wheezing hoarseness, facial and arm edema, HA, dysphagin
- Systemic S&S: decreased weight, anemia, Fatigue
-
Apiration
- passage of food or fluid, vomit, drugs or other foreing matierial into the trachea and lungs
- S&S: coughing choking marked dyspnea
- stridor or hoarseness wheezing tachycardia, tachpnea, nasal flaring, chest retractions, makred hypoxia large obstruction can lead to respirtatory or cardia arrest
-
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Repeated and momentary cessation of breathing during sleep
- more frequent in men incidence increases with age and obesity
- Can lead to chronic hypoxia with many complication including daytime sleepiness
- Treatment: CPAP machine delivers humidified air at a pressure that maintains an open airway
-
Asthma What is it, Etiology, and Precipitating factors
- A disease tat involves periodic episodes of severe but reverible bronchial obstruction in pt with hyperresponisve airways
- Etiology: genetic tendecny allergic type response
- Precipitating Factors: exertion stress strong emation smoke dust smells
-
Asthma Partial Obstruction and Total Obstruction
- Partial Obstruction: leads to air trapping hyper-inflation, mucous, coughing
- Total obstruction: Lead to atelectasis, non aeration distal to the obstruction
-
Define Status Asthmaticus
Severs and non-responsive can be fatal
-
Asthma S&S
- S&S: cought, syspnea, tightness in chest agitation thcik mucus, wheezing use of accossory muscles tachycarid
- Treatment: avoid trigger
-
Define Atelectasis
Collapsed or airless condition of the lung
-
Define Aspiration
Passage of food or fuild ect into trachea or lungs depending on size location can directly obstruct airflow of set up inflammatory response or bronchospasm
-
Emphysema Patho and Etiology
- Destruction of alveolar walls - large permanently inflated lungs.
- Release of destructive enzymes air trapping
- genetic tendency smoking
-
Emphysema S&S and Medical management
- S&S: dyspnea first with exertion later at rest. barrel chest
- Increased redidual volume prolonged expiratory phase use os accessory muscles
- Fear & anxiety easily fatigues
- Medical Management: Bronchodilators anitbiotics 02 therapy
- Maintain nutrition hydration and ventilation
-
Pulmonary Edema Etiology, S&S, and Treatment
- Etiology: may result from may primary conditions such as left sided CHF, hypoproteinemai due to do kidney or liver disease, tumors blocked lymphatic drainage
- S&S: cough orthopnea, rales
- As condition worsens hemoptysis labored breathing cyanosis
- Treatment: treat causative factors supportive care
- upper body eleveated when possibel
-
Define Atelectasis
nonaeration collapse of lung or part of lung
-
Define Pleural Effusion
- excess fluid in pleural cavity effects despend on amt ype and reate accumulation
- Dyspnea, chest pain Increased RR and HR
-
Define Pneumothorax
- Hole in chest wall air or gas admitted lung collapses
- Simple/spontaneous
- Open (sucking wound)
- Tension (emergency)
-
Simple/ spontaneous
Tear in surface of lung allows air to excape from inside or lung to pleural cavity
-
Open (suckin wound)
injury vreates opening in chest wall, sucks air into pleural space with each inspiration caues mediastinal shift
-
Tension
- Creats a one way valve effect
- opening is sealed so nthing can escape with inspiration
- DANEROUS
-
Flail chest
fractured ribs chest wall rigidity is lost resulting in parodoxial movement in taht area
-
Infant Respiratory Distress syndrome
- Lack of surfactand due to prematurity
- S&S: respiratory difficulty at birth or shortly after less than respiratons per min nasal flaring intercostal retraction decreased body temp
- can lead to death
-
Adult Respiratory Distress syndrome
- AKA: shock lung, wet lung, stiff lung. postperfusion lung and others
- usually onet - 1-2 days after injury or precipitating event
- often accociated with multipule organ dysfunction or failure secondary to severe insult to the body
- Etiology: injury inflammation increased interstitail fluid damages lung tissue necrosis fibrosis
-
Acute Respirtatory Failure
Etiology:results from other oulmonary disorders
