Inflammation of the bronchi caused by viral infection.
What is acute bronchitis
self - limiting: it usually resolves on its on.
couging
Signs of Acute Bronchitis Fever
malaise (generalized laziness)
lining of bronchial tubes are inflammed (constriction)
Patho of Acute Bronchitis produces thick mucus (inhibits ventilation)
Cilia is damaged (unable to clear debris)
series of over 200
viruses self limiting
What is the common cold?
cough, congestion, and headaches
What is tuberculosis? A highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs.
Droplets (sneezing, and coughing)
How is tuberculosis transferred and
treated? 6 months of antibiotics
leading cause of curable disease
Compliance - ability to expand to move air in and out
-if the chest can't expand ventilations are affected.
Resistance - Anything that obstructs your airway
The 4 Pulmonary Functions are? C. R. E.
Elasticity - Ability for lungs to recoil to a relaxed state
W.
- COPD causes loss of elasiticiy
Work of Breathing - energy expended to breathe. how much ATP and calories are
used to breathe.
What is dyspnea difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Productive (mucus production or blood)
A cough can be....
Dry
Mucus coughed up from lower airways
What is sputum?
normal color should be clear
coughing up blood
What is hemoptysis ?
ex: trauma or TB
deep, rapid respirations characteristic of acidosis
What are Kussmaul respirations?
using accessory muscles like intercostals
end of life breathing
What are Cheyne-Stokes respirations?
breathe....apnea.. breathe (agonal breathing)
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
structures of the lower respiratory tract
alveolar are lined with surfactant that prevents
them from collapsing
Ventilation - mechanical movement of air in and out of the lungs.
Respiration - gas exchange in the alveoli - swapping O2 for CO2.
3 functions of the lungs
Perfusion - providing adequate blood flow to the lungs and peripheral
extremities.
looking at the rate, rhythm, and depth of the breathing.
How do you assess ventilation?
look for signs of distress - work of breathing - accessory muscles.
