What is Pathology – Bronchiectasis
Pathophysiology • Chronic inflammation causes the bronchi and bronchioles to swell; inflammation causes the smooth muscle in the lungs to lose its elasticity. • Chronic infections develop in dilated regions where mucus is retained and passageways are blocked. • Can be localised or widespread; linked to illnesses that affect children, such as the measles, influenza, or tuberculosis. Evaluation and Diagnostic Results • Rhonchi over bronchi, infected secretions building up in the mucus, recurrent respiratory infections, and decreased breath noises in the lung bases. • ABG, CBC with differential, high-resolution CT image, and oxygen saturation. • Bronchoscopy for palliative care and evaluation. Complications • Anemia brought on by a bad diet (dyspnea). • Pneumonia, atelectasis, and respiratory acidity. • Chronic illness with obstruction. • Bronchial and bronchiole necrosis. medical attention and surgical procedure • Supplemental oxygen, leukotriene inhibitors, bronchodilators, mucolytics, expectorants, and antibiotics. • Postural drooping; restriction of movement. • Bronchoscopy as a form of hospice care. • A lobectomy with segments. • Stress the value of immunisation against influenza and pneumonia. • Smoking must end, and postural drainage must be maintained on an outpatient basis. • Use pulse oximetry to check for oxygen saturation and to check for worsening breathlessness. • Every 4 hours, conduct postural drainage and auscultate the lungs. • Evaluate the mucus and coughing features. • Keep in mind that when mucus accumulates and stagnates, viruses and bacteria have the ideal environment in which to develop and infect people.
