P3-POM-PPT SAS 15 Respiratory Diseases

Asthma

Condition characterized by episodic reversible narrowing of the airways, and hyperactivity of the trachea and bronchi

nuts

shellfish

milk

strawberries

NSMS

what food stuffs will precipitate an asthma attack?

allergic asthma or extrinsic asthma

what is the most common form of asthma?

status asthmaticus

very severe asthma attacks that are life threatening

chronic asthma

asthma that is indicated by sudden attacks of shortness of breath and wheezing commonly at night

idiosyncratic asthma or intrinsic asthma

asthma that is caused by RTI or physical irritants such as air pollution, cigarette smoking, etc. and seen in older adults

childhood onset

which onset (adult or childhood) of asthma will have better prognosis

adult onset

which onset (adult or childhood) of asthma will have worse prognosis

emotional stress and aspirin

precipitating factors of asthma in the dental setting

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Irreversible airway obstruction and destruction

emphysema

chronic bronchitis

bronchial asthma

what are the 3 classifications of COPD?

chronic bronchitis

the size of the mucous glands of the large bronchi and the number of mucous-secreting epithelial cells of the large and small bronchi are increased

emphysema

is characterized by a destruction of the alveolar septa, resulting in abnormally large air spaces

cor pulmonale

right sided congestive heart failure associated with COPD

dyspnea

central cyanosis

clubbing

wheezing

cough

sputum

hemoptysis

what are presentations of respiratory disease?

common cold syndrome

pharyngitis, tonsilitis

laryngotracheitis

what are the 3 main clinical patterns of URTI

streptococcus pneumoniae

hemophilus infuenzae

what microorganisms are associated with sinusitis?

amoxicillin w/ metronidazole if chronic

erythromycin

treatment for sinusitis

aspergilloma

sinusitis that may be caused by fungal infection

phycomycosis

lethal aspergillosis

fungal infection in immunocompromised patients

primary TB

a mild pulmonary disease including fever, chills, cough and sputum production which heal by scarring calcification that is usually evident on a chest radiograph

miliary TB

dessemination of tubercle bacilli to other parts of the body e.g. liver, kidneys, etc.

Pott's disease

tuberculosis of the spine

M. avium-intracellulare

non-tuberculosis mycobacteria that can cause pulmonary and lymph node lesions

scrofula

tuberculosis of lymph nodes especially in the neck

Legionnaire's disease

is a pneumonia with a high mortality, seen mainly in elderly patients emanating from infected aerosol or air from airconditioning systems.

Legionella pneumophilia

bacteria responsible for Legionnaire's disease

Asthma, bronchitis and emphysema

are the most common serious respiratory disorders

Mantoux test

used to test for tuberculosis

late morning or afternoon, and do not put them in supine position!

when should patients with COPD be scheduled for dental appointments?

sarcoidosis

is a chronic granulomatous multi-system disorder with protean manifestations

COPD

this respiratory disease is the second most common cause of death

• Constriction of the smooth muscles of the

bronchi

• Edema of the bronchial mucosa

• Formation of tenacious mucus

pathophysiology of asthma

Inherited immunologic abnormality

most common type of asthma
