SARS-CoV 2/ Covid-19 Disease Barrel Chest Dyspnea, OVERVIEW Cough may be present This module tackles various discussions on the clinical manifestations involved in the selected diseases of the CHRONIC BRONCHITIS Respiratory System. Acute and Chronic Obstructive Manifestations Pulmonary Diseases, Acute Respiratory Distress Blue bloater Syndrome, Pneumonia, Pneumothorax, and the recent Productive Cough COVID-19 Disease will be discussed thoroughly Thick, gelatinous sputum highlighting the nature of the disease, pathophysiology, Wheezing might be present defining characteristics, management, and relevant Notable dyspnea nursing care. Diagnostic Procedures: The respiratory diseases mentioned above entail Spirometry immediate management to prevent serious health ABG levels complications. Death may arise if nurses will not Chest X-ray immediately respond to the needs of the patients thus, Alpha1-antitrypsin assay thorough understanding on all the principles involved is a must to achieve the intended preservation of life. Early MEDICAL MANAGEMENT detection on the important defining characteristics will pave way on the recovery of patients. Drugs Bronchodilators to relieve bronchospasm The care of patients with respiratory diseases will Inhaled and systemic corticosteroids include health care collaboration. Nurses must be aware Alpha1-antitrypsin augmentation therapy that other members of the health care team will be Antibiotic Agents involved to help various clients recover faster. Multi- Mucolytic agents therapies will be instituted uniquely based on the Antitussive agents individual needs of the patients. With the complexity of Vasodilators and various health care management as planned, Nurses Narcotics must execute these complex interventions in a precise and competent manner. Surgical Management Bullectomy Though secondary and tertiary level of care are usually Lung Volume Reduction Surgery involved in emergency cases, primary level of prevention must still be included to as part of the NURSING CARE MANAGEMENT Teaching-coaching and helping role of Nurses. 1. Pulmonary rehabilitation to reduce symptoms, Mastering the basic tenets on the care of critically-ill improve quality of life, and increase physical patients with respiratory diseases using the nursing and emotional participation in everyday process will be end point of this module. activities 2.

Administer low flow of oxygen (1-2L/min) as unit ordered Assess the patient’s status frequently to 6. Administer bronchodilator as prescribed evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment 7. Adequately hydrate the patient Turn the patient frequently to improve 8. Instruct the patient to avoid bronchial irritants ventilation and perfusion in the lungs and 9. If indicated, perform CPT in the morning and at enhance drainage secretions night as prescribed Rest is essential for patient to limit oxygen 10. Encourage alternating activity with rest periods consumption and reduce oxygen needs 11. Teach relaxation technique or provide a Adequate nutritional support is vital, 35 to 45 relaxation tape for patient kcal/kg/day is required to meet caloric 12. Enroll patient in pulmonary rehabilitation requirements program where available Identify problems with ventilation that may 13. Monitor respiratory status, including rate and cause anxiety reaction to the patient pattern of respirations, breath sounds, and signs and symptoms of acute respiratory distress PNEUMONIA Inflammation of the lung parenchyma ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS Two types: SYNDROME o Community Acquired Pneumonia Is a severe form of acute lung injury. This clinical (CAP) syndrome is characterized by a sudden and progressive o Ventilatory Acquired Pneumonia pulmonary edema, increasing bilateral infiltrates on (VAP) chest x-ray, hypoxemia unresponsive to oxygen supplementation regardless of the amount of MANIFESTATIONS: Patients often demonstrate reduced lung compliance Sudden onset, rapidly rising fever of 38.3° C to 40.5° C MANIFESTATIONS Cough productive of purulent sputum Typically develops over 4 to 48 hours Pleuritic chest pain aggravated by deep severe dyspnea, severe hypoxemia respiration/coughing Arterial hypoxemia that does not respond to Dyspnea, tachypnea accompanied by supplemental oxygen respiratory grunting, nasal flaring, use of chest x-ray are similar to those seen with accessory muscles of respiration, fatigue cardiogenic pulmonary edema Rapid, bounding pulse increased alveolar dead space Orthopnea Severe crackles and rhonchi heard on Rusty, blood-tinged sputum auscultation Poor appetite Labored breathing and tachypnea Diaphoresis DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES Clinical presentation and history of findings Chest X-ray shows presence/extent of Hypoxemia on ABG despite increasing inspired pulmonary disease, typically consolidation. oxygen level Gram stain and culture and sensitivity tests of Chest x-ray shows bilateral infiltrates sputum may indicate offending organism.
