Shortness of breath (Dyspnea)
Definition
Is the uncomfortable awareness of breathing

Acute (hours to days)
Asthma

Pleural effusion
Metabolic acidosis
Sudden (Seconds to minutes)
Pulmonary embolism
Anaphylaxis
Pneumothorax

Causes
Asthma
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiolitis
Heart failure
Viral infections
Emphysema (COPD)
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
Aspiration
Definition
A high-pitched whistling sound during breathing. It occurs when air moves through narrowed breathing tubes.
Asthma
Definition
Chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder
Characterized by
Episodic reversible bronchospasm (air flow obstruction)
resulting from
Sn exaggerated bronchoconstrictor response to a variety of stimuli
Management
First-line drugs in treatment of asthma
Beta adrenergic agonists
Corticosteroids
Alternative drugs in treatment of asthma
Anticholinergic drugs
Anti-IgE antibodies
Methyxanthines (theophylline)
cromolyn
Pathophysiology
Bronchoconstriction, mucus production, inflammation, etc.
Increased Air way Resistance
Gas topping
Increased Alveolar-Carbon Dioxide tension
Hypercapnia
Decreased Alveolar-oxygen tension
Hypoxemia
Respiratory Failure
Increased Work of breathing
Hyper-extension
Increased Oxygen consumption
Hypoxemia
Include
Obstructive Lung disease
affects the normal
Mechanism of Breathing
Inspiratory muscle contract
Thoracic cavity expands
Pleural pressure becomes more negative
Transpulmonary pressure increases
Lungs inflate
Alveolar pressure becomes subatmospheric
Air flows into the lungs until alveolar pressure equals atmospheric pressure
Cough
investigations
Pulmonary Function Tests
include
Spirometry
Lung Volumes
Diffusion Capacity
Bronchiectasis
COPD
a type of
Chronic Bronchitis
definition
A persistent productive cough not attributable to other causes on most days for at least 3 months over 2 consecutive years.
Types
Simple chronic bronchitis
Chronic mucopurulent bronchitis
Chronic asthmatic bronchitis
Obstructive chronic bronchitis
Emphysema
Definition
Chronic lung disease
characterized by
permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles (acinus)
accompanied by
destruction of their walls but without obvious fibrosis
Types
Centriacinar
Panacinar
Paraseptal
Irregular
Types
Atopic Asthma
A classic example of type I IgE–mediated hypersensitivity reaction
triggered by
environmental antigens, such as dusts, pollen, animal dander, and foods or Infection
Non-atopic Asthma
Respiratory infections
due to
viruses (e.g., rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus) and inhaled air pollutants
Drug-induced
Aspirin
Occupational
fumes, organic and chemical dusts, gases, and other chemicals
