nephrotoxic and ototoxic
What is the patho behind chronic bronchitis?
Chronic sputum with cough production on a daily basis for a minimum of 3 months in each of 2
consecutive years
chronic hypoxemia, cor pulmonale
increase in mucus, cilia production
increase in bronchial wall thickness which obstructs air flow
reduced responsiveness of the respiratory center to hypoxemic stimuli
Assessment of a patient with chronic bronchitis
Generalized cyanosis "blue bloater"
Right-sided heart failure
distended neck veins
crackles
expiratory wheezes
Patho behind Emphysema
Reduced gas exchange surface area
Increased air trapping - increased AP diameter "barrel chest"
decreased capillary network
increased work, increased O2 consumption
Assessment of a patient with emphysema
Normal skin pigmentation "pink puffer"
Barrel Chest
