    Bronchitis Overview

    Bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the air passages within thelungs. It occurs when the trachea (windpipe) and the large and smallbronchi (airways) within the lungs become inflamed because of

    infection or other causes.

    The thin mucous lining of these airways can become irritated andswollen.

    The cells that make up this lining may leak fluids in response tothe inflammation.

    Coughing is a reflex that works to clear secretions from thelungs. Often the discomfort of a severe cough leads you to seek

    medical treatment.

    Both adults and children can get bronchitis. Symptoms aresimilar for both.

    Infants usually get bronchiolitis, which involves the smallerairways and causes symptoms similar to asthma.

    Bronchitis Causes

    Bronchitis occurs most often during the cold and flu season, usuallycoupled with an upper respiratory infection.

    Several viruses cause bronchitis, including influenza A and B,commonly referred to as "the flu."

    A number of bacteria are also known to cause bronchitis, such asMycoplasma pneumoniae, which causes so-called walkingpneumonia.

    Bronchitis also can occur when you inhale irritating fumes ordusts. Chemical solvents and smoke, including tobacco smoke,have been linked to acute bronchitis.

    People at increased risk both of getting bronchitis and of havingmore severe symptoms include the elderly, those with weakenedimmune systems, smokers, and anyone with repeated exposureto lung irritants.

    Bronchitis Symptoms

    Acute bronchitis most commonly occurs after an upper respiratoryinfection such as the common cold or a sinus infection. You may seesymptoms such as fever with chills, muscle aches, nasal congestion,

    and sore throat.

    Cough is a common symptom of bronchitis. The cough may bedry or may produce phlegm. Significant phlegm productionsuggests that the lower respiratory tract and the lung itself maybe infected, and you may have pneumonia.

    The cough may last for more than two weeks. Continued forcefulcoughing may make your chest and abdominal muscles sore.Coughing can be severe enough at times to injure the chest wallor even cause you to pass out.

    Wheezing may occur because of the inflammation of the airways.This may leave you short of breath.

    When to call the doctor

    Although most cases of bronchitis clear up on their own, some peoplemay have complications that their doctor can ease.

    Severe coughing that interferes with rest or sleep can bereduced with prescription cough medications.

    Wheezing may respond to an inhaler with albuterol (Proventil,Ventolin), which dilates the airways.

    If fever continues beyond four to five days, see the doctor for aphysical examination to rule out pneumonia.

    See a doctor if the patient is coughing up blood, rust-coloredsputum, or an increased amount of green phlegm.

    When to go to the hospital

  • 7/30/2019 22508056 Case Study of Bronchitis

    6/34

    If the patient experiences difficulty breathing with or withoutwheezing and they cannot reach their doctor, go to a hospital'semergency department for evaluation and treatment.

    Exams and Tests

    Doctors diagnose bronchitis generally on the basis of symptoms and aphysical examination.

    Usually no blood tests are necessary.

    If the doctor suspects the patient has pneumonia, a chest x-raymay be ordered.

    Doctors may measure the patient's oxygen saturation (how welloxygen is reaching blood cells) using a sensor placed on a finger.

    Sometimes a doctor may order an examination and/or culture ofa sample of phlegm coughed up to look for bacteria.

    Self-Care at Home

    By far, the majority of cases of bronchitis stem from viralinfections. This means that most cases of bronchitis are short-term and require nothing more than treatment of symptoms torelieve discomfort.

    Antibiotics will not cure a viral illness.

    Experts in the field of infectious disease have been warning foryears that overuse of antibiotics is allowing many bacteria tobecome resistant to the antibiotics available.

    Doctors often prescribe antibiotics because they feel pressuredby people's expectations to receive them. This expectation hasbeen fueled by both misinformation in the media and marketingby drug companies. Don't expect to receive a prescription for anantibiotic if your infection is caused by a virus.

    Acetaminophen (Feverall, Panadol, Tylenol), aspirin, or ibuprofen(Motrin, Nuprin, Advil) will help with fever and muscle aches.

    Drinking fluids is very important because fever causes the bodyto lose fluid faster. Lung secretions will be thinner and easier toclear when the patient is well hydrated.

    A cool mist vaporizer or humidifier can help decrease bronchialirritation.

    An over-the-counter cough suppressant may be helpful.Preparations with guaifenesin (Robitussin, Breonesin, Mucinex)will loosen secretions; dextromethorphan-the "DM" in most overthe counter medications (Benylin, Pertussin, Trocal, Vicks 44)suppresses cough.

    Medical Treatment

    Treatment of bronchitis can differ depending on the suspected cause.

    Medications to help suppress the cough or loosen and clearsecretions may be helpful. If the patient has severe coughingspells they cannot control, see the doctor for prescriptionstrength cough suppressants. In some cases only these strongercough suppressants can stop a vicious cycle of coughing leadingto more irritation of the bronchial tubes, which in turn causesmore coughing.

    Bronchodilator inhalers will help open airways and decreasewheezing.

    Though antibiotics play a limited role in treating bronchitis, theybecome necessary in some situations.

    In particular, if the doctor suspects a bacterial infection,antibiotics will be prescribed.

    People with chronic lung problems also usually are treated withantibiotics.

    In rare cases, the patient may be hospitalized if they experiencebreathing difficulty that doesn't respond to treatment. Thisusually occurs because of a complication of bronchitis, not

    bronchitis itself.

    Follow-up

    The patient should follow up with their doctor within a week aftertreatment for bronchitissooner if your symptoms worsen or donot improve.

    Call the doctor's office if any new problems occur.

    Prevention

    Stop smoking.

    Avoid exposure to irritants. Proper protection in the workplace isvital to preventing exposure.

    The dangers of secondhand smoke are well documented.Children should never be exposed to secondhand smoke insidethe home.

    Outlook

    Nearly all cases of acute bronchitis clear up completely over time.

    In the case of bronchitis caused by exposure to respiratoryirritants, all the patient may need to do is keep away from thecause of irritation.

    Smoking cessation is recommended to prevent development ofchronic bronchitis or other chronic lung disease such asemphysema. Chronic bronchitis, as its name suggests, can causesymptoms for prolonged periods and lead to other debilitatinglung conditions.

    Human Respiratory System

    The respiratory system consists of all the organs involved inbreathing. These include the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchiand lungs. The respiratory system does two very important things: itbrings oxygen into our bodies, which we need for our cells to live andfunction properly; and it helps us get rid of carbon dioxide, which is awaste product of cellular function. The nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea

    and bronchi all work like a system of pipes through which the air isfunneled down into our lungs. There, in very small air sacs calledalveoli, oxygen is brought into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide ispushed from the blood out into the air. When something goes wrongwith part of the respiratory system, such as an infection likepneumonia, it makes it harder for us to get the oxygen we need and toget rid of the waste product carbon dioxide. Common respiratorysymptoms include breathlessness, cough, and chest pain.

    The Upper Airway and Trachea

    When you breathe in, air enters your body through your nose ormouth. From there, it travels down your throat through the larynx (orvoice box) and into the trachea (or windpipe) before entering your

    lungs. All these structures act to funnel fresh air down from the outsideworld into your body. The upper airway is important because it must

  • 7/30/2019 22508056 Case Study of Bronchitis

    16/34

    always stay open for you to be able to breathe. It also helps to moistenand warm the air before it reaches your lungs.

    The Lungs

    Structure

    The lungs are paired, cone-shaped organs which take up most ofthe space in our chests, along with the heart. Their role is to takeoxygen into the body, which we need for our cells to live and functionproperly, and to help us get rid of carbon dioxide, which is a wasteproduct. We each have two lungs, a left lung and a right lung. Theseare divided up into 'lobes', or big sections of tissue separated by'fissures' or dividers. The right lung has three lobes but the left lunghas only two, because the heart takes up some of the space in the leftside of our chest. The lungs can also be divided up into even smaller

    portions, called 'bronchopulmonary segments'.

    These are pyramidal-shaped areas which are also separated from eachother by membranes. There are about 10 of them in each lung. Eachsegment receives its own blood supply and air supply.

    How they work

    Air enters your lungs through a system of pipes called thebronchi. These pipes start from the bottom of the trachea as the leftand right bronchi and branch many times throughout the lungs, until

    they eventually form little thin-walled air sacs or bubbles, known as thealveoli. The alveoli are where the important work of gas exchangetakes place between the air and your blood. Covering each alveolus isa whole network of little blood vessel called capillaries, which are verysmall branches of the pulmonary arteries. It is important that the air inthe alveoli and the blood in the capillaries are very close together, sothat oxygen and carbon dioxide can move (or diffuse) between them.So, when you breathe in, air comes down the trachea and through thebronchi into the alveoli. This fresh air has lots of oxygen in it, and someof this oxygen will travel across the walls of the alveoli into yourbloodstream. Traveling in the opposite direction is carbon dioxide,

    which crosses from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoliand is then breathed out. In this way, you bring in to your body theoxygen that you need to live, and get rid of the waste product carbondioxide.

    17/34

    Blood Supply

    The lungs are very vascular organs, meaning they receive a verylarge blood supply. This is because the pulmonary arteries, whichsupply the lungs, come directly from the right side of your heart. Theycarry blood which is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide into yourlungs so that the carbon dioxide can be blown off, and more oxygencan be absorbed into the bloodstream. The newly oxygen-rich bloodthen travels back through the paired pulmonary veins into the left sideof your heart. From there, it is pumped all around your body to supplyoxygen to cells and organs.

    The Work of Breathing

    The Pleurae

    The lungs are covered by smooth membranes that we callpleurae. The pleurae have two layers, a 'visceral' layer which sticksclosely to the outside surface of your lungs, and a 'parietal' layer whichlines the inside of your chest wall (ribcage). The pleurae are importantbecause they help you breathe in and out smoothly, without anyfriction. They also make sure that when your ribcage expands onbreathing in, your lungs expand as well to fill the extra space.

    The Diaphragm and Intercostal Muscles

    When you breathe in (inspiration), your muscles need to work tofill your lungs with air. The diaphragm, a large, sheet-like muscle whichstretches across your chest under the ribcage, does much of this work.At rest, it is shaped like a dome curving up into your chest. When youbreathe in, the diaphragm contracts and flattens out, expanding thespace in your chest and drawing air into your lungs. Other muscles,including the muscles between your ribs (the intercostal muscles) alsohelp by moving your ribcage in and out. Breathing out (expiration)

    does not normally require your muscles to work. This is because yourlungs are very elastic, and when your muscles relax at the end of

  • 7/30/2019 22508056 Case Study of Bronchitis

    18/34

    inspiration your lungs simply recoil back into their resting position,pushing the air out as they go.

    The Respiratory System Through the Ages

    Breathing for the Premature Baby

    When a baby is born, it must convert from getting all of itsoxygen through the placenta to absorbing oxygen through its lungs.This is a complicated process, involving many changes in both air andblood pressures in the baby's lungs. For a baby born preterm (before37 weeks gestation), the change is even harder. This is because thebaby's lungs may not yet be mature enough to cope with thetransition. The major problem with a preterm baby's lungs is a lack ofsomething called 'surfactant'. This is a substance produced by cells inthe lungs which helps keep the air sacs, or alveoli, open. Without

    surfactant, the pressures in the lungs change and the smaller alveolicollapse.

    This reduces the area across which oxygen and carbon dioxidecan be exchanged, and not enough oxygen will be taken in. Normally,a fetus will begin producing surfactant from around 28-32 weeksgestation. When a baby is born before or around this age, it may nothave enough surfactant to keep its lungs open. The baby may developsomething called 'Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome', or NRDS.

    Signs of NRDS include tachypnoea (very fast breathing),

    grunting, and cyanosis (blueness of the lips and tongue). SometimesNRDS can be treated by giving the baby artificially made surfactant bya tube down into the baby's lungs.

    The Respiratory System and Ageing

    The normal process of ageing is associated with a number of changesin both the structure and function of the respiratory system. Theseinclude:

    Enlargement of the alveoli. The air spaces get bigger and lose

    their elasticity, meaning that there is less area for gases to beexchanged across. This change is sometimes referred to as'senile emphysema'.

    The compliance (or springiness) of the chest wall decreases, sothat it takes more effort to breathe in and out.

    The strength of the respiratory muscles (the diaphragm andintercostal muscles) decreases. This change is closely connectedto the general health of the person.

    All of these changes mean that an older person might have moredifficulty coping with increased stress on their respiratory system, such

    as with an infection like pneumonia, than a younger person would.

    AmoxicillinGeneric Name: AmoxicillinBrand Name: Amoxil, TrimoxClassification: Antibiotic

    Mechanism of ActionInhibits bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis.

    IndicationUsed to treat many different types of infections caused by

    bacteria, such as ear infections, bladder infections, pneumonia,gonorrhea, and E. coli or salmonella infection.

    ContraindicationHypersensitivity to penicillins, cephalosporins, or imipenem. Not

    used to treat severe pneumonia, empyema, bacteremia, pericarditis,

    meningitis, and purulent or septic arthritis during acute stage.

    Adverse Reaction:CNS:Agitation; anxiety; behavioral changes; confusion; convulsions;dizziness; headache; hyperactivity; insomnia.Dermatologic:Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis; erythema multiforme;erythematous maculopapular rashes; exfoliative dermatitis;mucocutaneous candidiasis; Stevens-Johnson syndrome; toxicepidermal necrolysis; urticaria.

    GI:Diarrhea (2%); nausea (1%); black, hairy tongue; hemorrhagicpseudomembranous colitis; tooth discoloration; vomiting.Genitourinary:Crystalluria; vulvovaginal mycotic infection.Hematologic-Lymphatic: Agranulocytosis; anemia; eosinophilia; hemolytic anemia; leukopenia;thrombocytopenia; thrombocytopenic purpura.Hepatic:Acute cytolytic hepatitis; cholestatic jaundice; hepatic cholestasis;increased ALT and AST.

    Hypersensitivity:Anaphylaxis; hypersensitivity vasculitis.Miscellaneous:Serum sicknesslike reactions.

    Nursing ResponsibilitiesPeriodically assess renal, hepatic, and hematopoietic function

    during prolonged therapy. Patients diagnosed with gonorrhea shouldhave a serologic test for syphilis at the time of treatment and a follow-up serologic test after 3 months.

    ParacetamolGeneric name: ParacetamolBrand Names: BiogesicClassification: Analgesic/Antipyretic

    Mechanism of ActionParacetamol possesses prominent antipyretic and analgesiceffects. Its anti-inflammatory activity is weak and has no clinicalsignificance. The mechanism of action is related to depression of theprostaglandin synthesis by inhibition of the specific cellcyclooxygenase, and depression of the thermoregulatory center in themedulla oblongata. Inhibits prostaglandins in CNS, but lacks anti-inflammatory effects in periphery; reduces fever through direct actionon hypothalamic heat-regulating center.

    Indications

    The preparation is indicated in diseases manifesting with painand fever: headache, toothache, mild and moderate postoperative andinjury pain, high temperature, infectious diseases and chills (acutecatarrhal inflammations of the upper respiratory tract, flu, small-pox,parotitis, etc.).

    ContraindicationsParacetamol should not be used in hypersensitivity to the

    preparation and in severe liver diseases.

    Adverse reactions

    In rare cases hypersensitivity reactions, predominantly skinallergy (itching and rash), may appear. Long-term treatment with highdoses may cause a toxic hepatitis with following initial symptoms:nausea, vomiting, sweating, and discomfort. Occasionally agastrointestinal discomfort may be seen.

    Nursing ResponsibilitiesThe preparation should be used with care in patients with liver

    and renal diseases. The treatment with Paracetamol may change thelaboratory tests of uric acid and blood glucose analysis. In severe renalfailure the interval between two consecutive takings should not be

    shorter than 8 hours. The treatment with the preparation is notadvisable during the first trimester of the pregnancy. In nursing womenthe preparation should be used with strictly observation of thetherapeutic dose and duration of the treatment.

    24/34

    AmbroxolGeneric Name: AmbroxolBrand Name: MucosulvanClassification: Expectorant/Antibiotic

    Mechanism of ActionWhen administered orally onset of action occurs after about 30minutes. The breakdown of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers makes thesputum thinner and less viscous and therefore more easily removed bycoughing. Although sputum volume eventually decreases, its viscosityremains low for as long as treatment is maintained.

    IndicationAll forms of tracheobronchitis, emphysema with bronchitis

    pneumoconiosis, chronic inflammatory pulmonary conditions,bronchiectasis, bronchitis with bronchospasm asthma. During acute

    exacerbations of bronchitis it should be given with the appropriateantibiotic.

    ContraindicationThere are no absolute contraindications but in patients with

    gastric ulceration relative caution should be observed.

    Adverse ReactionOccasional gastrointestinal side effects may occur but these arenormally mild.

    Nursing ResponsibilitiesObserve respiratory rate and obtain baseline data. Check drug

    interactions if taking other medications.It is advisable to avoid use during the first trimester of pregnancy.

    25/34

    MetoprololGeneric Name: MetoprololBrand Name: Lopressor, Toprol-XLClassification: Beta blocker

    Mechanism of ActionBlocks beta receptors, primarily affecting CV system (decreasesheart rate, decreases contractility, decreases BP) and lungs (promotesbronchospasm).

    IndicationMetoprolol is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension

    (high blood pressure). It is also used to treat or prevent heart attack.

    ContraindicationYou should not use this medication if you are allergic to metoprolol,

    or if you have a serious heart problem such as heart block, sick sinussyndrome, or slowheart rate. If you have any of these other conditions,you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely usemetoprolol:

    pheochromocytoma; or

    problems with circulation (such as Raynaud's syndrome);

    congestive heart failure;

    asthma, bronchitis, emphysema;

    diabetes;

    low blood pressure; depression;

    liver or kidney disease;

    a thyroid disorder; or

    myasthenia gravis.

    Adverse ReactionCardiovascular:Hypotension; edema; flushing; bradycardia (3%); palpitations; CHF;arterial insufficiency; peripheral edema.CNS:Headache; fatigue; dizziness (10%); depression (5%); lethargy;drowsiness; forgetfulness; sleepiness (10%); vertigo; paresthesias.

    Dermatologic:Rash (5%); facial erythema; alopecia; urticaria; pruritus (5%).EENT:Dry eyes; visual disturbances.GI:Nausea; vomiting; diarrhea (5%); dry mouth; gastric pain; constipation;heartburn; flatulence.Genitourinary:Impotence; urinary retention; difficulty with urination.Respiratory:Shortness of breath (3%); bronchospasm; dyspnea; wheezing.

    Miscellaneous:Increased hypoglycemic response to insulin; may mask hypoglycemicsigns; muscle cramps; asthenia; systemic lupus erythematosus; coldextremities.

    Nursing ResponsibilitiesIn patients with angina pectoris or coronary artery disease (CAD),

    metoprolol may cause exacerbation of angina, occurrence of MI, andventricular arrhythmias. Monitor patients closely. Because CAD iscommon and often unrecognized, it may be prudent not to discontinuebeta-blocker therapy abruptly in patients being treated for

    hypertension.
