Study Notes
Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI)
- A common symptom of URTI is a runny nose.
- Children are more likely than adults to get URTI due to their immature immune systems and frequent exposure to viruses.
- A characteristic sign of severe URTI is difficulty breathing.
- The primary approach to treating URTI in adults is to manage symptoms and let the body fight off the infection.
Bronchiolitis
- Bronchiolitis results in the accumulation of mucus inside the respiratory passages, leading to breathing difficulties.
- It is more common in young children under the age of 2 and exhibits symptoms such as runny nose, coughing, and fast breathing with wheezing.
Respiratory Conditions
- Chronic bronchitis is characterized by narrowing of the bronchial lumens, coughing with phlegm, and shortness of breath.
- Bronchiectasis presents symptoms such as chronic cough lasting for over three weeks, recurrent chest infections, and discomfort in the chest region.
- Pneumonia causes swelling and fluid in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fever.
- Cystic fibrosis is characterized by excess mucus buildup, making the lungs more susceptible to infection.
- Tuberculosis is caused by airborne bacteria and presents symptoms such as coughing, fever, fatigue, and loss of weight and appetite.
- Asthma is a breathing disorder caused by inflammation and muscular stiffness around the airways.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by obstruction of the airways and associated breathing difficulties.
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) causes lung tissue to become dense and rigid due to unknown reasons.
- Pulmonary hypertension is a common symptom of IPF.
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by a sudden onset of respiratory failure.
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is often diagnosed using a CT scan or ventilation-perfusion scan.
Other Respiratory Conditions
- Bronchiolitis obliterans is a breathing disorder caused by inflammation and muscular stiffness around the airways.
- Emphysema is a respiratory condition that causes lung tissue to become damaged and is characterized by shortness of breath.
- Pneumothorax is a respiratory condition that causes air to leak into the space between the lungs and chest wall, leading to symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
Diagnosing Respiratory Conditions
- The primary diagnostic test for tuberculosis is a chest X-ray or Mantoux test.
- A chest X-ray or CT scan is commonly used to diagnose pneumonia.
- A spirometry test is commonly used to diagnose COPD.
- A bronchoscopy or biopsy may be used to diagnose IPF.
- An echocardiogram is commonly used to diagnose pulmonary hypertension.
- A chest X-ray or CT scan may be used to diagnose ARDS.
- A ventilation-perfusion scan or CT scan may be used to diagnose pulmonary embolism.
