COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids01:26

COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids

578
Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

Pulmonary Cycle: Exhalation01:17

Pulmonary Cycle: Exhalation

2.7K
In terms of human respiration, the act of expelling air, known as exhalation (or expiration), operates on the principle of pressure gradients. During expiration, the pressure within the lungs exceeds that of the surrounding atmosphere. Under normal conditions, quiet breathing involves passive exhalation and is free of muscular contractions. This is because the exhalation process is driven by the natural elastic recoil of the lungs and chest wall, both of which have an inherent tendency to...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.7K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

3.1K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed....

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Occupational bronchiolitis involves small airway inflammation from workplace inhalation exposures.
  • It often presents insidiously with exertional dyspnea and cough.
  • Recent reports highlight previously unrecognized occupational risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To underscore the importance of considering occupational exposures in unexplained dyspnea.
  • To emphasize the heterogeneous nature of occupational bronchiolitis.
  • To advocate for thorough small airway assessment in diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent reports and clinical presentations.
  • Analysis of diagnostic considerations for occupational lung diseases.
  • Emphasis on patient history including occupational and military exposures.

Main Results:

  • Occupational bronchiolitis is a diverse condition linked to various work exposures.
  • Exertional dyspnea and cough are common symptoms.
  • Past and present occupational exposures, including military deployment, are relevant risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational exposures are critical factors in unexplained dyspnea.
  • A comprehensive occupational history is essential for diagnosing bronchiolitis.
  • Diagnostic evaluation must include a detailed assessment of small airway function.
