    Study Notes

    Respiratory Disorders - Part 2

    • Acute Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tree, typically thick secretions, often linked to respiratory infection or inhaled irritants.
    • Clinical Manifestations: Productive cough, wheezes, shortness of breath, chest pain, tightness, low-grade fever, and headache.
    • Diagnosis: Chest X-ray, cultures.
    • Management: Expectorants, antipyretics, analgesics, bronchodilators, antibiotics, and fluid intake—avoiding milk.
    • Legionnaires' Disease: Caused by L. pneumophila, thrives in water environments (e.g., AC units).
    • Clinical Manifestations: Life-threatening pneumonia, respiratory failure, renal failure, shock, and death; symptoms appear 2-14 days post-exposure, including high fever, headache, diarrhea, and malaise, non-productive cough, shortness of breath, chest pain.
    • Diagnosis: Blood sputum cultures, chest X-ray, urine tests.
    • Treatment: Antibiotics, supportive care.

    Additional Respiratory Disorders

    • SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome): Viral infection spread by close contact. Not Covid-19.
    • Tuberculosis: Infectious disease, usually affecting the lungs, but potentially other organs.
    • Clinical Manifestations: Fever, chills, night sweats, weight loss, weakness, chronic productive cough, swollen or tender lymph nodes.
    • Diagnostics: Tuberculin skin test, chest X-ray, acid-fast stain, sputum smear.
    • Management: Antibiotics, and other treatments for secondary infections.

    Pneumonia

    • Definition: Inflammation of the lungs caused by infection (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites) or aspiration.
    • Typical Symptoms: Productive cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, elevated respiratory rate, chest pain, crackles or wheezing.
    • Diagnostic Tests: Sputum cultures, chest X-rays, blood tests (CBC).
    • Management: Antibiotics (if bacterial), supportive care (e.g., oxygen, fluids).

    Other Respiratory Conditions

    • Pulmonary Edema: Fluid buildup in the lungs, often associated with heart failure.
    • Pulmonary Infarction (PE): Blood clot in the pulmonary artery, leading to lung damage, shortness of breath, chest pain.
    • Pleurisy: Inflammation of the pleura (membrane lining the lungs), can cause sharp chest pain exacerbated by breathing. Usually related to pneumonia or lung trauma.
    • Pleural Effusion: Fluid buildup in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall, can be secondary to other conditions.

    Management of Patients with Respiratory Disorders

    • Monitoring Vital Signs: Respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature.
    • Airway Maintenance: Assessment and maintenance of an unobstructed airway. Use oxygen at appropriate levels according to patient condition.
    • Positioning: Position changes promote drainage of secretions, assist with breathing.
    • Fluid Balance: Monitoring and managing fluid intake/output, administering fluids appropriately based on condition and the situation.
    • Cough and deep breathing exercises: Encouraging these to treat the secretions in the lungs and to promote healing.
    • Medication Administration: Administer medications as prescribed.
    • Respiratory Treatments: e.g., incentive spirometry, nebulisation, chest physiotherapy.
