Objectives:
1. Understand both medical and nursing management of
acute bronchitis, pneumonia, TB, COPD, & asthma
2. Differentiate between the clinical manifestations of
Pneumonia and TB
3. Identify patients at risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD)
4. Use the nursing process as a framework for care of the
patient with pneumonia, TB, asthma & COPD,

Acute Bronchitis
 Acute inflammation of the tracheobronchial
tree.
 Generally, self-limiting and with eventual
complete healing and return of function (comes
on quickly and gets better after 2 to 3 weeks.).
 Though commonly mild, bronchitis may be
serious in debilitated patients and those with
chronic lung or heart disease.
 Pneumonia is a critical complication. 4
Types of Acute Bronchitis
 Acute infectious bronchitis (after a
common cold or other viral infection of nasopharynx, throat,
or tracheobronchial tree, often with secondary bacterial
infection)
 Acute irritative bronchitis (caused by
various irritants)
 Cough-variant asthma. 5
Acute Bronchitis:
Pathophysiology
Hyperemia of the mucous membranes

desquamation, edema, & leukocytic
infiltration of the submucosa

production of sticky or mucopurulent
exudate
6
Acute Bronchitis:
Pathophysiology
The protective functions of bronchial cilia,
phagocytes, and lymphatics are disturbed

bacteria may invade the bronchi

accumulation of cellular debris and
mucopurulent exudate
7
Acute Bronchitis: S&S
Acute infectious bronchitis is often
preceded by symptoms of a URI:
malaise
chill
slight fever
back and muscle pain
sore throat
Dyspnea
fever ~38,5ºC may be present for up to 3 to 5
days
8
Acute Bronchitis: S&S
 Onset of cough usually signals onset of
bronchitis.
 The cough is initially dry & nonproductive

small amounts of viscid sputum are raised
after a few hours or days

it may later become more abundant and
mucoid or mucopurulent (bacterial infection)
9
Acute Bronchitis: Diagnostics
 VS
 CXR
 Arterial blood gases
 Sputum culture
10
Acute Bronchitis: Rx
 Antibiotic therapy for 7 to 10 days may be
indicated for patients with underlying
respiratory problems or chronic illness.
 Hydration and humidification.
 Secretion clearance interventions (controlled
cough, positive expiratory pressure valve
therapy, chest physical therapy).
 Bronchodilators for bronchospastic cough
and bronchial irritation.
 Symptom management for fever, cough.
11
Acute Bronchitis: Nsg Mx
 Assist patients with prescribed therapies
 Use of antitussives, analgesics, and
bronchodilator medications
 Encourage fluids
 Teach patients to cough effectively and
avoid infections
 Offer mild analgesics for discomfort
 Offer patients deep breathing exercises,
incentive spirometer 12
Acute Bronchitis: Nsg Mx
 Anticholinergics, antibiotic therapy
(when indicated), IV corticosteroids or
methylxanthines
 Antibiotics not shown to be effective
except in patients with COPD
 Beta-2 agonists (brochodilators) such as
albuterol (Ventolin), salbutamol,
salmoterol, and formoterol)
13
Pneumonia
14
Pneumonia
Pneumonia
• Is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused
by a microbial agent.
•Classification:
Classification:
Community-acquired: in the community or in
the first 48 hrs of hospitalization. Agents include
streptococcal pneumoniae , hemophilus influenza,
mycoplasma and viral pneumonia
Hospital acquired: Nosocomial, e.g., ventilator
associated pneumonia- staphylococcal aureus,
pseudomonas, and klebsiella pneumonia
15
 Pneumonia in the immuno-compromised: e.g.,
pneumocystic carinii pneumonia, fungal
pneumonia, & mycobacterium tuberculosis
 Aspirational pneumonia: results from entry of
endogenous or exogenous substances in the
airway. Common pathogens: S. pneumonia, H.
influenza, and staphylococcus aureus
* Pneumonia affects both ventilation and diffusion
Pneumonia affects both ventilation and diffusion
16
Risk Factors
 Older, immunocompromised, or those
who live in high-risk environments:
vaccines against pneumococcal
pneumonia.
 Chronic disorders such as CHF, DM,
COPD, & AIDS
 Smoking
 Depressed cough reflex
 Prolonged NPO states
17
 When the microorganisms find their way into
the lung, an inflammatory reaction may occur in
the alveoli and produces exudates that interfere
with the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
 WBCs mostly neutrophils migrate into the
alveoli and fill the normally air-containing
spaces.
 Hypoventilation results from secretions and
mucosal edema that cause partial occlusion of
the bronchi or alveoli lead to ventilation
perfusion mismatch in the affected area. 18
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology
 Venous blood entering the pulmonary circulation
passes through the hypoventilated area and
exits to the left side of the heart poorly
oxygenated blood, the mixing of oxygenated
and poorly oxygenated blood results in arterial
hypoxemia.
 Bacterial pneumonia usually affects one lobe
leading to lobar pneumonia, while viral
pneumonia usually cause multi-lobular
infiltration. 19
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology
Clinical manifestations
 Depends on the organism
 S. pneumonia: sudden onset of chills, high-
grade fever, pleuritic chest pain, & tachypnea
& tachycardia
– Cough, Sputum, & Dyspnea
– Pleuritic chest pain
– Crackles (auscultation)
– Dullness (percussion)
– Fever or hypothermia
– Low or high WBC count
20
Diagnosis
 Health history (recent respiratory tract
infection).
 Physical examination.
 Chest x-ray studies.
 Blood culture
 Sputum culture.
 Invasive procedures as naso- or orotracheal
suction or bronchoscopy may be needed to
collect specimens.
21
Management
•Appropriate antibiotic: Penicillin G for S.
pneumonia, erythromycin for Mycoplasma
pneumonia
•Treatment for viral is primarily supportive
•Maintain oxygenation
•Maintain airway clearance
•Maintain adequate hydration
•Monitor temperature
Complications:
•hypotension & shock, superinfection, Atelectasis
because of an obstructed bronchus, pleural effusion
22
Pulmonary tuberculosis
23
Pulmonary tuberculosis
 Infectious disease affecting the
parenchyma and may be transmitted to
the meninges, kidneys, bones, and
lymph nodes
 Primary agent:Mycobacterium
tuberculosis
 World population ~ 6 billion
 ~ 1in 3 people in world infected
 ~ 9.4 million new cases of active
TB/year; 1.7 million deaths/year 24
Transmission and risk factors
 Airborne transmission
 Small droplets from talking, coughing, or
sneezing
25
Tuberculosis
 Testing
– PPD (Mantoux test)
– CXR
– Sputum for culture/Acid
Fasting Bacillus
 Engineering Controls
– Private room with negative
pressure
– >6 air exchanges
– Respiratory Protection
(N95 Mask)
26
Tuberculosis
Patient Management
 Place on Strict Isolation for suspected TB
until:
– One bronchial washing negative for TB OR
– Three sputums (3 consecutive days) negative
for AFB
 Place on Strict Isolation for confirmed TB
until:
– Three negative sputums and patient is on
effective therapy with clinical improvement
27
Assessment & Diagnostic
findings
 Hx & physical exam
 Tuberculin skin test: Mantoux test
(Induration of 10 mm or more indicates
exposure)
 Chest X-ray
 Acid-fast bacillus smear
 Sputum culture
28
Management
 6 – 12 months of chemotherapeutic agents
 Drug resistance especially mutidrug
resistance is a major issue
 First-line meds: Isoniazide (INH), rifampin,
pyrazinamide, and either streptomycin or
ethambutol
 A person is considered noninfectious after 2 –
3 wks of continuous medication therapy
 INH as a prophylactic for those at risk
