He is observed to be sitting up and struggling to breathe. His breathing is accompanied by use of accessory muscles, a weak cough, and audible wheezing sounds. His pulse is rapid and weak, and both heart and breath sounds are distant on auscultation. His parents relate that his asthma began to worsen after he developed a "cold," and now he doesn't get relief from his albuterol inhaler. Explain the changes in physiologic function underlying his signs and symptoms. - Answer ️Recruitment of inflammatory cells from the bloodstream into the bronchial wall, where they directly attack the invading organisms and secrete inflammatory chemicals that are toxic to the organisms causes airway inflammation. Swelling of the bronchial wall, mucus secretion, constriction of the airway; bronchial hyper-responsiveness to stimuli causes airway obstruction or narrowing. They may discuss on a cellular level as well: Upon a trigger, the cascade of neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and mast cells cause epithelial injury. This causes airway inflammation, which further increases hyperresponsiveness and decreased airflow. Mast cells release histamine and leukotrienes. These cause major bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and mucus secretion. Mast cells can trigger multiple cytokine release, which causes more airway inflammation. The contraction of the airways and subsequent swelling leads to further airway obstruction. When is the risk for obstructive atelectasis the greatest? What are strategies to decrease the chance for developing atelectasis? - Answer ️The risk of obstructive atelectasis is increased following surgery. Anesthesia, pain and pain medications, and immobility promote retention of bronchial secretions. Patients are encouraged to frequently cough, deep breath, change positions, hydrate adequately, and ambulate early to prevent atelectasis. (shows picture of large clot inside blood vessel) 1.) Upon autopsy, what was this patient's cause of death? 2.) What risk factors predispose this patient to this outcome? 3.) What would have been an effective treatment for this patient? - Answer ️1. pulmonary embolism 2. Venous stasis, venous endothelial injury, and hypercoagulability states: inherited hypercoagulability disorders that increase risk of thrombosis (e.g. antithrombin III deficiency, protein C and S deficiencies, factor V Leiden mutation). Venous stasis and venous endothelial injury can result from prolonged bed rest or immobility, trauma, surgery, childbirth, fractures of the hip and femur, MI and CHF, cancer, and spinal cord injury. 3. thrombolytics, anticoagulant therapy, compression stockings or intermittent pneumatic compression boots can prevent venous stasis. 1.) Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen is decreased by ____. Name one factor: 2.) Blood that moves from the right to the left side of circulation without being oxygenated is referred to as a ______. - Answer ️1. acidosis, increased CO2, fever 2. shunt Some people have the triad of asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, and nasal polyps. They have asthma attacks in response to taking what medication(s)? - Answer ️NSAIDs, aspirin Someone with COPD would exhibit each of the following characteristics except: - Answer ️increased D-dimer levels Each of the following are helpful treatments for COPD patients except: - Answer ️anticoagulants Asthma exhibits each of the following characteristics except: - Answer ️hypertrophy of the submucosal glands What are UTIs commonly misunderstood as? - Answer ️UTIs are frequently misunderstood infections. What is the normal state of the urinary tract? - Answer ️The urinary tract is normally sterile, constantly flushed by urine flow, and protected by an intact epithelial lining. What happens when normal urinary defenses fail? - Answer ️Infection occurs when normal urinary defenses fail. What are the two key anatomical considerations in UTI infection? - Answer ️Where bacteria enter and how far the infection travels. What can happen if a bladder infection ascends? - Answer ️It may involve the kidneys, increasing the risk of permanent damage. What is the most common pathogen associated with UTIs? - Answer ️Escherichia coli (E. coli). Why is E. coli significant in UTIs? - Answer ️It is normal GI flora, located close to the urethra, and has special structures that allow adherence to urinary epithelium. What are common symptoms of UTIs caused by inflammation? - Answer ️Dysuria, urgency, frequency, hematuria, pyuria, and cloudy urine. What does dysuria result from? - Answer ️Inflamed tissue exposing nerve endings and urine irritating hypersensitive tissue. What is acute pyelonephritis? - Answer ️A kidney infection that occurs when a UTI ascends and involves the renal parenchyma. Why is pyelonephritis more serious than cystitis? - Answer ️Nephrons do not regenerate, and healing occurs by scarring. What are the systemic signs of kidney infection? - Answer ️Fever, nausea, and vomiting.

A 10-year-old boy who is having an acute asthma attack is brought to the ER. He is
observed to be sitting up and struggling to breathe. His breathing is accompanied
by use of accessory muscles, a weak cough, and audible wheezing sounds. His
pulse is rapid and weak, and both heart and breath sounds are distant on
auscultation. His parents relate that his asthma began to worsen after he developed
a "cold," and now he doesn't get relief from his albuterol inhaler.
Explain the changes in physiologic function underlying his signs and symptoms. -

bronchial wall, where they directly attack the invading organisms and secrete
inflammatory chemicals that are toxic to the organisms causes airway
inflammation. Swelling of the bronchial wall, mucus secretion, constriction of the
