Assessment • Obstructive lung disease, probably Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), in acute exacerbation probably secondary to Community acquired pneumonia (CAP), in patient, non ICU setting • t/c pleural effusion, right • Systemic arterial Hypertension (SAH) stage 2 • Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 • t/c Diabetic Retinopathy
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease • a disease state characterized by the presence of airflow obstruction due to chronic bronchitis or emphysema. the airflow obstruction is generally progressive.
Pathology of COPD • CENTRAL airways: Enlarged mucus secreting glands and an increase in the number of goblet cells are associated with mucus hypersecretion. • PERIPHERAL airways: chronic inflammation leads to repeated cycles of injury and repair of the airway wall structural remodeling of the airway wall, with increasing collagen content and scar tissue formation, that narrows the lumen and produces fixed airways obstruction.
Pathophysiology • Pathological changes in the lungs lead to corresponding physiological changes characteristic of the disease, including: (in order over the course) • mucus hypersecretion, • ciliarydysfunction, • airflow limitation, • pulmonary hyperinflation, • gas exchange abnormalities, • pulmonary hypertension, • and corpulmonale. • Mucus hypersecretion and ciliary dysfunction lead to chronic cough and sputum production. • These symptoms can be present for many years before other symptoms or physiological abnormalities develop.
Physical Examination of COPD • Early: slowed expiration and wheezing on forced expiration. • Obstruction progresses: hyperinflation becomes evident, and the AP diameter of the chest increases. The diaphragm becomes limited in its motion. Breath sounds are decreased, expiration is prolonged, and heart sounds often become distant. Coarse crackles may be heard at the lung bases. Wheezes are frequently heard, especially on forced expiration. • End-stage COPD: Tri-pod position, use of accessory respiratory muscles of the neck and shoulder girdle, expiration through pursed lips and paradoxical indrawingof the lower interspaces is often evident. Cyanosis may be present. • An enlarged, tender liver indicates heart failure • Neckvein distention, especially during expiration due to increased intrathoracicpressure. • Asterixismay be seen with severe hypercapnia.
GOLD Classification of Stable COPD Patient usually not aware of abnormal lung function
GOLD Classification of Stable COPD Worsening of airflow limitation, progression of symptoms w/ SOB typically on exertion
GOLD Classification of Stable COPD Further worsening of airflow limitation, increased SOB and frequent exacerbations that impact the QOL of the patient
Acute Exacerbation of COPD • Sustained worsening of the patient’s symptoms from the usual stable state that is beyond normal day to day variation • Onset usually acute (1-3 days)
Community Acquired Pneumonia • Acute infection of pulmonary parenchyma • Symptoms of acute infection • Respiratory or general • Maybe less prominent in the elderly • Acute infiltrates on CXR • Clinical findings such as localized rales • No hospitalization within previous 14 days • Excludes residents in long term care facilities
Diabetes Mellitus • RBS > 200 + symptoms of diabetes • FBS < 126 • 2 hr OGTT > 200
Diabetic Retinopathy • Affects the circulatory system of the retina. • Earliest phase: non-proliferative / background diabetic retinopathy. • arteries in the retina become weakened and leak, forming small, dot-like hemorrhages. • These leaking vessels often lead to swelling or edema in the retina and decreased vision. • Next stage: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy. • circulation problems oxygen-deprivation or ischemic new, fragile, vessels develop as the circulatory system attempts to maintain adequate oxygen levels within the retina(neovascularization) hemorrhage leak into the retina and vitreous, causing spots or floaters, along with decreased vision. • Later phases: continued abnormal vessel growth and scar tissue may cause serious problems such as retinal detachment and glaucoma
ABI index • resting ankle-brachial index of less than 1 is abnormal. If the ABI is: • Less than 0.95, significant narrowing of one or more blood vessels in the legs is indicated. • Less than 0.8, pain in the foot, leg, or buttock may occur during exercise (intermittent claudication). • Less than 0.4, symptoms may occur when at rest. • 0.25 or below, severe limb-threatening PAD is probably present.
