What are the parts of the upper respiratory tract?
Nose, Paranasla sinuses, Pharynx, Tonsils, Adenoids, Larynx, and Trachea.
What are the parts of the lower respiratory tract? (6)
Lungs, Pleura, Mediastinum, Bronchi, Brochnchioles, and Alveoli.
What is the function of the respiratory system? (4)
Oxygen transport, respiration, Ventilation, and Gas Exchange.
,GI
What is a group of upper GI disorders, that cause ersoion of the gut wall from an imbalance
between mucosal and aggressive factors?
Peptic Ulcer Disease
What is an NSAID?
Non steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs; decreased blood flow, mucus, and bicarbonate.
What are the defensive factors of the GI?
Mucous, Bicarbonate, Blood flow and Prostagladins.
What is H. plyori?
A gram negative bacillus that can colonize in the stomach an duodenum. Lives between the
epithelial cells and the mucus barrier.
How common is H.pylori?
60 - 70%
How would you treat H. pylori?
Eradication.
, What are aggressive factors of the GI?
NSAIDs, Gastric acid, Pepsin, and smoking.
What are the goals of treating Peptic Ulcer Disease?
Alleviate symptoms, promote healing, prevent complications, prevent recurrence
What are the 5 major groups of antiucler drugs?
Antibiotics, antisecretory agents, mucosal protectants, antisecretory agents that enhance
mucosal defenses, anatacids.
What examples of Antibiotics for Peptic Ulcers?
Flagyl, Achromycin (Tetracycline), Biaxin, Bismuth (Pepto-Bismol)
Why is Pepto-Bismol used as an antibiotic?
Prevent H.pylori form sticking to the gastric wall where it will multiply and cause damage;
therefore decreasing/ inhibiting bacterial growth.
What are the guidelines?
At least two anitbiotcs, Ant-secretory agent.
