Fever, Chills, Chest Pain, Difficulty in Breathing Red blood cells and fibrin will begin to enter the alveoli Lung tissue will appear redden and firm Difficulty or Rapid breathing Fibrin and dying red and white blood cells collecting in the alveolar spaces Sputum produced by coughing maybe tinged with blood or purulent discharge If not treated : May lead to complications. Obstruction of airway and impaired gas exchange in the alveoli; patient manifests cough Patient experiences occasions, despise, pallor (due to inadequate oxygen supply).
The alveoli collapse and lung tissue dies (necrosis) Respiratory arrest DEATH Treatment: Administer antipathetic (e. G. Paramedical), bronchiolar (e. G. Salomon), antibiotic (e. G. Clarification ). This prevent multiplication of the bacteria. Environmental Changes: >house-setting (putting protective screens) Enzymes in the lung will break down the materials causing inflammation Infectious agents are controlled by WEB and any remaining material may be coughed up Patient’s recovery GOOD HEALTH STATUS Narrative: Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the gyroscopic air sacs known as alveoli.
It is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria and less commonly other microorganisms, certain drugs and other conditions such as autoimmune diseases. Typical symptoms include a cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and culture of the sputum. Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Pneumonia presumed to be bacterial is treated with antibiotics. If the pneumonia is severe, the affected person is, in general, admitted to hospital.
Pneumonia affects approximately 450 million people globally per year, seven percent of population, and results in about 4 million deaths, mostly in third-world countries. Although pneumonia was regarded by William Osler in the 19th century as “the captain of the men of death”, the advent of antibiotic therapy and vaccines in the 20th century has seen improvements in survival. Nevertheless, in developing countries, and among the very old, the very young, and the chronically ill, pneumonia remains a leading cause of death.
