    + Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition ofthe lungespecially affecting the microscopic airsacs (alveoli. The disease is either an infection ofone or both lungs which is usually caused by

    bacteria, viruses, or fungi.+ Currently, over 3 million people develop

    pneumonia each year in the United States. Over ahalf a million of these people are admitted to a

    hospital for treatment. Although most of thesepeople recover, approximately 5% will die frompneumonia. Pneumonia is the sixth leading causeof death in the United States.

    + Left Lower lobe (LLL) is a relatively common

    site for consolidation. The term consolidationis usually referring to a long airspace replaced

    by a fluid. The term consolidation does not

    imply any particular etiology or pathology.

    Acute pneumonia is the most common cause

    of consolidation. Other causes include chronic

    pneumonia, pulmonary edema and neoplasm.

    16/44

    + As we grow older and become senior citizens we tend toslow down our productivity and explore life as a retiredperson. It is during this time that we contemplate ouraccomplishments and are able to develop integrity if we see

    ourselves as leading a successful life. If we see our life asunproductive, or feel that we did not accomplish our lifegoals, we become dissatisfied with life and develop despair,often leading to depression and hopelessness.

    + The final developmental task is retrospection: people lookback on their lives and accomplishments. They developfeelings of contentment and integrity if they believe thatthey have led a happy, productive life. They may insteaddevelop a sense of despair if they look back on a life ofdisappointments and unachieved goals.

    + This stage can occur out of the sequence when an individualfeels they are near the end of their life (such as whenreceiving a terminal disease diagnosis).

    + Patient D.Q have no regrets in her life because she feels thatshe has been productive as a citizen and a good mother toher children as evidenced by all of her children finished theirstudies in college.

    34/44

    lungs.

    + The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to

    deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we

    breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's

    means of getting oxygen to the blood.

    +

    + I. UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT

    + external nose, nasal cavity, pharynx and associated structures.

    +

    + NOSEconsists of the external nose and nasal cavity.

    +

    + External nosevisible structure that forms a prominent feature of the face.

    + - composed of hyaline cartilage and bone in bridge of the external nose that covered by connective tissueand skin.

    + Nasal cavityextends from the nares to the choane, divided by nasal septum.

    +

    + naresexternal openings of the nose which air enters into nasal cavity.

    + - inside it is epithelial lining that composed of stratified squamous epithelium. containing coarse hairs that

    traps some of the large particles of dust suspended in the air.

    + choaneopenings into the pharynx.

    + paranasal sinusesare air-filled spaces within bone.

    + - open into the nasal cavity are lined with a mucous membrane.

    + - produce mucus.

    + pseudostratified columnar epithelial cellslined the rest of nasal cavity.

    + - it contains cilia and many mucus-producing goblet cells and it traps debris in the air.

    + cilia- sweep the mucus posteriorly to the pharynx where it is swallowed.

    35/44

    + PHARYNXthroat

    + -common passageway of both the respiratory and digestive systems.

    + - receives air from the nasal cavity and leads to the rest of respiratory system.

    + - divided into 3 regions: the nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngolarynx.

    + Nasopharynx- superior part, located posterior to the choane and superior to the soft palate,which is an incomplete muscle and connective tissue partition separating the nasopharynx

    from the oropharynx.

    + - lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.

    + -its posterior part contains the pharyngeal tonsil which aids in defending the body

    against infection.

    + Oropharynxextends from the uvula to the epiglottis.

    + - where oral cavity opens.

    + - lined with stratified squamous epithelium, protects against abrasion.

    + - air pass through it.

    + LARYNXlocated in the anterior throat; continuous superiorly with the pharynx and inferiorly

    with the trachea.

    + - consist of an outer casing of 9 cartilages that are connected to one another by muscles and

    ligaments.

    + II. LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT

    + 1 .LUNGS

    + The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. In the lungs oxygen is taken into the bodyand carbon dioxide is breathed out. The red blood cells are responsible for picking up the oxygen inthe lungs and carrying the oxygen to all the body cells that need it. The red blood cells drop off theoxygen to the body cells, then pick up the carbon dioxide which is a waste gas product produced by

    our cells. The red blood cells transport the carbon dioxide back to the lungs and we breathe it outwhen we exhale.

    +

    + The left lower lobe is similar in structure to the right lower lobe except that it has twosegments combined- because the anterior and medial basal segments .share a commonbronchial supply, these two segments are characteristically combined, forming an anteriormedial basal segment.

  • 7/29/2019 Powerpoint Case

    37/44

    + . TRACHEA

    + The trachea is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters theair we breathe and branches into the bronchi.

    + + 3. BRONCHI

    + The bronchi are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea andcarry air directly into the lungs.

    +

    + 4. DIAPHRAGM+ Breathing starts with a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the

    lungs called the diaphragm. When you breathe in, the diaphragmcontracts. When it contracts it flattens out and pulls downward. Thismovement enlarges the space that the lungs are in. This larger spacepulls air into the lungs. When you breathe out, the diaphragmexpands reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forcing airout. The diaphragm is the main muscle used in breathing.

  • 7/29/2019 Powerpoint Case

    38/44

    + PHYSIOLOGY OF RESPIRATION

    +

    + The respiratory primarily supplies oxygen to the body and disposes of carbon dioxide through exhalation. Four events

    chronologically occur, for respiration to take place.

    + Pulmonary ventilationthis process is commonly termed as breathing. With pulmonary ventilation, air must move out into

    and out of the lungs so that the alveoli of the lungs are continuously drained and filled with air.

    +

    External respirationthis is the exchange of gases or the loading of oxygen and the unloading of carbon dioxide between thepulmonary blood and alveoli.

    + Respiratory gas transportthis is the process where the oxygen and carbon dioxide is transported to the and from the lungs

    and tissue cells of the body through the bloodstream.

    + Internal respirationin internal respiration the exchange of gases is taking place between the blood and tissue cells.

    + Mechanics of Breathing

    +

    + Breathing, also called pulmonary ventilation is a mechanical process that completely depends on the volume changesoccurring in the thoracic cavity. Thus, a when volume changes pressure also changes, and this would lead to the flow of gases

    equalizing with the pressure.

    + Inspirationalso called inhalation. This is the act of allowing air to enter the body. Air is flowing into the lungs with this

    process. Inspiratory muscles are involved with inspiration which includes:

    + The diaphragm

    + External intercostals

    +

    + These muscles contract when air is flowing in and thoracic cavity increases. When the diaphragm contracts it slides inferiorly

    and is depressed. As a result the thoracic cavity increases. The contraction of the external intercostals muscles lifts the rib

    cage and thrusts the sternum forward. This increases the anteroposterior and lateral dimensions of the thorax.

    +

    + Expirationalso called expiration. It the process of breathing out air as it leaves the lungs. This process causes the gases to

    flow out to equalize the pressure inside and outside the lungs. Under normal circumstances, the process of expiration is

    effortless.
