Respiratory Disorders



Nursing III
Linda Speranza PhD, ARNP-C
Respiratory Assessment
 Count  respiration for
 1 full minute
  Infants– obligatory
   nose breathers
 Identify signs of
  respiratory distress
 Listen to breath
  sounds 1st!
  Stridor-   thrill harsh
   sound
  Rhonchi
  Wheezing
Respiratory Assessment
 Quality of respirations
 Quality of pulse
 Color- pale, cyanotic, mottling
 Cough- croupy- loose, wet, dry
 Behavior change- tired of breathing fast?, restless?,
  lethargic?, change in LOC
 Signs of dehydration- low I&O, L skin turgor- check in
  abd or sternum, lack of tears in older children,
Respiratory Assessment




Nasal Flaring
 Widening of the nares during inspiration
 Represents an increased effort by the infant
  to breathe
Retractions
 Depth and location of retractions indicate
 the severity of distress
    Intercostal retractions- mild
    Subcostal - moderate
    Suprasternal – moderate
    Supraclavicular- severe
    Use of accessory muscles- severe
Anatomy is Different!
•   Development
•   Airways – shorter and more narrower
•   Increase in airway resistance in children
•   Flexible larynx
•   Tongue is proportionally larger
    –   can cause obstruction
•   Obligate nose breathers
    –   plugging can cause respiratory distress
A Child’s Respiratory Anatomy
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
 Resultof a primary
 absence,
 deficiency, or
 alteration in the
 production of
 pulmonary
 surfactant

 Prematurity


 Surfactant
 deficiency disease
Signs & Symptoms of RDS
   Shortness of breath
   Grunting
   Nasal flaring
   Cyanosis
   Apneic spells
   Increased work of
    breathing –
    tachypnea
       1st sign of respiratory
        distress
   Retractions
Management/Treatment of RDS
 Support adequate
 ventilation

 Surfactant
 replacement
 therapy

 Monitor
        for
 Complications
Nursing Interventions
 Risk   for ineffective breathing pattern
     Check prenatal meds
     Monitor vitals and skin
     Clear airway prn with bulb syringe
     Give warm humidified O2
 Ineffective   thermoregulation
     Warm all inspired gases. Cold air= more
      need of O2 and high metabolic rate
     Respiratory distress can lead to metabolic
      acidosis. Check for acrocyanosis,
      bradycardia, apnea, etc
 Altered    nutrition: less
     If there is respiratory distress do not give oral
      fluids. Start parenteral nutrition per MD
     Give calories to prevent metabolic acidosis
      due to starvation. TPN is an alternative
 Risk   for fluid vol deficit
     Record I& O hourly and daily weights.
      Circulatory overload= pulmonary edema
     Check signs of dehydration: poor skin
      turgor, pale mucous memb, sunken anterior
      fontanelle. Specific gravity, etc
     Check IV sites for infiltration, infection
      (edema, and erythema)

        bronchodilator treatment

       Exclusion of alternative

       Diagnosis confirmation by spirometry
Evaluation of Asthma
 Spirometry
    Shows how much a person can exhale-
     evidence of episodic airflow obstruction
     and airway hyper-responsiveness. Place
     mouth covering entire mouth piece…
     Breathe out as hard as possible and then
     breathe in deeply
Evaluation of Asthma
 Peak   flow meter (expiratory flow meter)
     Blow into it every morning to see if you need
      treatment like a nebulizer to open up the airway.
     Warns of impending attack
     Green- ok
     Yellow
     Red- less than 50%= Warning!

Nursing Assessment and Treatment of Common Respiratory Disorders

  • 2. Respiratory Assessment  Count respiration for 1 full minute  Infants– obligatory nose breathers  Identify signs of respiratory distress  Listen to breath sounds 1st!  Stridor- thrill harsh sound  Rhonchi  Wheezing
  • 3. Respiratory Assessment  Quality of respirations  Quality of pulse  Color- pale, cyanotic, mottling  Cough- croupy- loose, wet, dry  Behavior change- tired of breathing fast?, restless?, lethargic?, change in LOC  Signs of dehydration- low I&O, L skin turgor- check in abd or sternum, lack of tears in older children,
  • 4. Respiratory Assessment Nasal Flaring  Widening of the nares during inspiration  Represents an increased effort by the infant to breathe
  • 5.
  • 6. Retractions  Depth and location of retractions indicate the severity of distress  Intercostal retractions- mild  Subcostal - moderate  Suprasternal – moderate  Supraclavicular- severe  Use of accessory muscles- severe
  • 7. Anatomy is Different! • Development • Airways – shorter and more narrower • Increase in airway resistance in children • Flexible larynx • Tongue is proportionally larger – can cause obstruction • Obligate nose breathers – plugging can cause respiratory distress
  • 9. Respiratory Distress Syndrome  Resultof a primary absence, deficiency, or alteration in the production of pulmonary surfactant  Prematurity  Surfactant deficiency disease
  • 10. Signs & Symptoms of RDS  Shortness of breath  Grunting  Nasal flaring  Cyanosis  Apneic spells  Increased work of breathing – tachypnea  1st sign of respiratory distress  Retractions
  • 11. Management/Treatment of RDS  Support adequate ventilation  Surfactant replacement therapy  Monitor for Complications
  • 12. Nursing Interventions  Risk for ineffective breathing pattern  Check prenatal meds  Monitor vitals and skin  Clear airway prn with bulb syringe  Give warm humidified O2  Ineffective thermoregulation  Warm all inspired gases. Cold air= more need of O2 and high metabolic rate  Respiratory distress can lead to metabolic acidosis. Check for acrocyanosis, bradycardia, apnea, etc
  • 13.  Altered nutrition: less  If there is respiratory distress do not give oral fluids. Start parenteral nutrition per MD  Give calories to prevent metabolic acidosis due to starvation. TPN is an alternative  Risk for fluid vol deficit  Record I& O hourly and daily weights. Circulatory overload= pulmonary edema  Check signs of dehydration: poor skin turgor, pale mucous memb, sunken anterior fontanelle. Specific gravity, etc  Check IV sites for infiltration, infection (edema, and erythema)
  • 14.
  • 15. Croup Syndrome  Broad classification of upper airway illnesses that result from swelling of the epiglottis and larynx  Viral  Spasmodic laryngitis  Laryngotracheitis  Laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB)  Bacterial  Bacterial trachitis  Epiglottitis
  • 16. Laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB)  LTB,most common form of croup  Usually caused by virus;  Adenovirus,  Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)  Influenza Virus  Inflammation and narrowing of the laryngeal and tracheal areas.
  • 17. Clinical Manifestations of LTB  Upper respiratory infection (URI) symptoms that gradually progress to signs of distress.  Hoarseness, barky cough  Inspiratory stridor  Retractions  Restlessness and irritability  Pallor and cyanosis  Sometimes a low grade fever  Potential complication: airway obstruction  Difficulty swallowing or drooling= epiglotitis
  • 18. Treatment/Management of LTB  Lateral neck x-ray confirms diagnosis  Maintain Airway Patency  Supplemental oxygen with humidity  Cool mist tent  Meet fluid and nutritional needs
  • 19. Treatment/Management of LTB  Medication  Racemic epinephrine  Bronchodilators – Albuterol  Side tachycardia  Steroid therapy- IV or inhaled  Keep calm and comfortable  NO Throat cultures or visual inspections of the mouth  Continue to monitor- Respiratory effort, responsiveness, signs of respiratory distress  Constant attendance
  • 20.
  • 21. Epiglottitis • An inflammation of the epiglottis, the long narrow structure that closes off the glottis during swallowing • A life-threatening condition!!! This is a Medical Emergency • Bacterial- Caused by strep, staph, and haemophilus influenzae type B • Hib vaccine reduces risk for epiglottitis
  • 22. Clinical Manifestation of Epiglottitis  Sudden onset  CARDINAL SIGNS- intense sore throat/difficulty swallowing/ drooling  Cherry red, edematous epiglottis  High fever- 102  Dysphonia  Dysphagia  Inspiratory stridor  Respiratory distress  Tripod position
  • 23. Diagnosis of Epiglottitis  Diagnosis confirmed by lateral neck films  High Oxygenation to reverse hypoxemia  Cool mist oxygen  Cools airway and lowers swelling!  Antipyretics, ab, & steroids to decrease inflammation  May use a tracheostomy to bypass the problem
  • 24. Treatment/ Management Epiglottitis  Closely Monitor Respiratory status. Do not attempt to examine the throat. Axillary temp only!  Medications include antibiotics and steroids to decrease inflammation  Minimize fear and anxiety to decrease oxygen consumption
  • 25.
  • 26. Bronchitis  Lower airway disorder  Inflammation of the trachea and bronchi  Cause- mainly viral  Symptoms  Fever, dry hacking cough non productive. Productive in a couple of days  Management  Cool, humid air, increase fluids, antipyretics, cough suppressants
  • 27.
  • 28. Bronchiolitis  Caused when a virus or bacterium causes inflammation and obstruction (mucus) of the small airways  Occurrence- First 2 years  Peak: 6 months  Cause – Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
  • 29. Bronchiolitis  Pathophysiology  Cell debris- death virus after bursting to invade  Irritation= Swelling/mucus  Bronchospasm  Inhalation, poor exhalation  Wheezing, hypoxemia, respiratory failure
  • 30. Clinical Manifestation of Bronchiolitis  Illness may have been occurring for a few days- upper respiratory  Lower respiratory  Severerespiratory distress. Thick mucus occludes bronchioles  Initial: Rhinitis, cough, low fever, tachypnea, poor feeding, v & d, dehydration, less playful
  • 31. Clinical Therapy For Bronchiolitis  History and Physical  Chest x-ray  Hyperinflation, atelectasis and inflammation  Nasal swab- to find bacteria  Ribavirin – antiviral for RSV. Used for immunocompromised  Bulb syringe & Saline  Isolation  Risk Factors – lung disease, low weight, siblings that go to school, passive smoke, premmie
  • 32. Treatment/Management Bronchiolitis  Rest& elevate HOB to 30  Clear fluids (NPO if resp rate >60)  I& O x 8 h & daily weights, mucous memb  Maintain respiratory functions. Use suctioning- Also before feeding  Cool, humidified oxygen  Albuterol updrafts  Steroids  Infants often hospitalized due to feeding difficulties, increased respirations  Hand washing!- RSV is recurrent
  • 33.
  • 34. Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)  Chronic Lung Disease  Results from an acute respiratory disorder that begins during infancy  Risk Factors  Prematurity  Lung immaturity  High inspired oxygenation concentrations,  Positive pressure ventilation  Patent ductus arteriosus  Vitamin A deficiency
  • 35. Clinical Manifestation of BPD  Persistent signs of respiratory distress  Tachypnea  Wheezing  Crackles  Irritability  Nasal flaring  Grunting  Retractions  Pulmonary edema  FTT- Failure to Thrive- O2 demands ↑ + fatigue  Intermittent bronchospasm & mucous plugs
  • 36. Tracheostomy  Keep small toys, dust away from child  Careful when bathing! No showers  Observe and clean skin daily  Suction prn  Only 5 sec, sterile gloves, intermittent suction when withdrawing cath  Notifyif secretions increase or turn purulent, or fever  Have an emergency bag w extra cath and tubes  No smoking  O2 away from heat

  1. Naris expand Retractions Stridor: Thrill harsh sound Ronchi: Once you cough, rhonchi goes away. It’s the only one that goes away after coughing Rales- fine crackling sound. Associated with pneumonia- ab will help it go away; and CHF- Lasix will help it go away Make sure to listen to the lung bases
  2. Check for this findings: Look for dyspnea, tachypnea, nasal flaring, retractions, child can’t pronounce P because of diminished expiratory effort, focus on breathing, anxious expression, upright position w neck extended, crying improves or worsens the color, low cap refill Quality of Respirations: 1. Depth 2. Clarity of breath sounds 3. Pain with breathing- dyspnea 4. Difficulty breathing – use of accessory muscles – sternocleidomastoid and intercostal muscles Quality of pulse: 0- absent pulse, -4-bounding Normal RR Newborn 30-35 1- 25-40 3- 20-30 6- 16-22 10- 16-20 17- 12-20 Cyanosis: check mucous membranes and tongue Valsalva maneuver or expiratory grunt: is a preventive mechanism to prevent atelectasis. Do not intubate Fixed heart rate indicates a decrease in vagal stimulation Displacement of point of maximal impulse could be due to hernia in diaphragm or pneumothorax Decreased muscle tone of unresponsiveness= deteriorating CNS
  3. Tachycardia and tachypnea go together
  4. Retractions- due to moving muscles to get more air in Intercostal- under the ribs. Seen in mild distress Substernal, and subcostal- severity increases Supraclavicular, and suprasternal- due to use of accessory muscles
  5. Airway resistance: effort needed to move oxygen through the trachea to the lungs. Can intubate to help child
  6. Atelectasis- bronchioles filled with fluid
  7. Surfactant: reduces surface tension throughout the lung, thereby contributing to its general compliance. It gives alveolar stability by decreasing the alveoli’s surface tension and tendency to collapse. It gives better lung compliance and permits breathing w less work Leads to: atelectasis, hypoxia, acidosis (lack of gas exchange), and respiratory failure Collapsed alveoli= harder & harder to breath Hypoxia leads to Low pulmonary blood flow= fetal circulation= blood flow is moved around lungs Impaired response to cold Anaerobic metabolism Low perfusion to other organs Respiratory acidosis: Alveolar hypoventilation Metabolic acidosis Due to the anaerobic metabolism Atelectasis is the collapse of part or (much less commonly) all of a lung. Endotracheal tube pic RDS is only found in preterm babies
  8. Grunting: abnormal, short, deep, hoarse sounds in exhalation that often accompany severe chest pain. Slow expiratory flow that prevents alveolar collapse during expiration Apneic- respirations lasting longer than 20 sec Respiratory failure: Early signs- restlessness, tachypnea, tachycardia Imminent RF: dyspnea, bradycardia, cyanosis Tachypnea: more than 60 respirations See-saw respirations: flat chest during inspiration and abd bulging out. Use ventilation bc there is more O2 need and more workload
  9. Treat RDS Surfactant replacement with endotracheal tube + gas checkups + fix acid-base imbalance + regulate temperature + good nutrition + protection from infection. Treatment modalities: Increased humidified oxygen Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) Ventilation from a respirator High frequency ventilation (HFV) Treat cause of Resp failure Reverse hypoxemia w O2 Mechanical ventilation & Positive end expiratory pressure If decreased LOC: Endotracheal tube (ET) intubation Monitor vitals, respiratory status, O2 sat, LOC & changes in behavior Keep in upright position- elevate HOB Give O2 and keep emergency equipment at hand Pneumothorax- collapsed lung Intraventicular hemorrhage- bleeding in the brain?
  10. Croup= barking of a seal
  11. Symptoms worse at night. Progresses to retractions, increasing stridor and cyanosis Airway obstruction= intubation and ICU
  12. Throat cultures and visual inspection of the inner mouth and throat= laryngospasm= complete airway obstruction. My note: Use XR instead! Cool, noncarbonated nonacidic drinks: rehydration fluids or fruit flavored drinks, gelatin, and popsicles
  13. Beta agonist and betaadrenergics: albuterol, racemic w face mask? Temp relief in half an hour, side: tachycardia, HTN Corticosteroids: dexamethasone: decrease edema & stridor resolves faster, side: HTN Bronchodialator- xanapex? Quiet parent= quiet kid Once on steroids, wheezing should minimize O2 Sats should be above 92% Start with a quarter of a liter when giving O2 to a baby
  14. Sudden illness that starts with sore throat and can’t swallow own spit Keep airway open + ab.
  15. Epiglottis becomes cherry red, swollen and extremely edematous Use tripod position to breath in- also used with COPD Can’t swallow, no voice sounds (before intubation), acute onset of drooling, quiet child= CONCERN!
  16. Remind parents that ET tube can be removed in 1- 2 days, and that child may be unable to make sounds temporarily
  17. Assess breath sounds, nasal flaring, accessory muscle use, retractions, stridor, Axillary temp (Not the oral route!), pulse ox Keep NPO IV ab and antipyretics, corticosteroids, nebulized epinephrine (racemic epi)- vasoconstriction =lowers edema, Hib vaccine Do not leave child unattended until he is intubated, keep NPO, never supine, have resuscitation equipment av, prepare for endotracheal intubation, or tracheostomy, keep a relaxed athmosphere (crying= laryngospasm) Can insert ET tube to maintain the airway. Then take a culture of the epiglottis
  18. Cough is worse at night. Some cracking & wheezing, sore chest & ribs
  19. Greater incidence in Winter & Spring- keep supplies to treat condition at hand Bronchitis- large airways involved, bronchiolitis- small airways involved
  20. Initial: rhinorrhea, ear drainage, coughing, sneezing, wheezing Progresses: More coughing and wheezing, air hunger, tachypnea, retractions, cyanosis Severe: tachypnea (more than 70), increased adventitious sounds, listlessness, apneic episodes
  21. Viral- resolves by itself
  22. Use cardiorespiratory monitor and place a pulse ox w alarm Small freq feedings. IV if risk of aspiration Encourage parents to hold child to reduce anx
  23. Barrel chest
  24. Wean off assisted ventilation
  25. Bad nutrition bc of high metabolic needs and fatigue when feeding Meds: diuretics, bronchodilators, antiinflammatory, mehylxantines, Palivizumab to prevent RSV
  26. Most common childhood disease RF: enlarged adenoids, allergic rhinitis, pacifiers alters function of eustachian tube, parents that smoke, day care centers
  27. Tube becomes blocked due to edema from upper resp. inf.
  28. Why is ab treatment delayed for 2-3 days in children of 6 m to 2 years? Pg 1291 Myringotomy- allow draninage, equalize pressure & allow ventillation Ab- amoxicillin, keflex, tetracycline, etc PE- pressure equalizing tube. Cover ear if going into water, careful if swimming. Drops for pain relief.
  29. Drug of choice- penicillin Strep- sand paper rash, fever. Use saline gargles, ibuprofen x 8 h and tylenol x 6h alternating for inflammation, popsicles. Prevention, change tooth brush frequently
  30. Mast cell releases histamine= pouring out of fluid
  31. Smaller airway for gas exchange= wheezing
  32. Tripod position used for breathing better Nasal flaring, H RR, intercostal retractions, productive cough, expiratory wheezing, respiratory fatigue, chest tightness. Wheezing might not be heard if lack of airflow! 

Pre exercise 30-60 min bf Mast cell inh- Up to 4 x d. Therapeutic in 2 wks. Careful w anaphylaxis, bronchospasm…  Corticosteroids- decreases inflammation and obstruction, enhances effect of bronchodialators. Used for short courses until 80% of peak expiratory flow is achieved or no sx. Give w food in the AM. Side- decreased growth, unstable blood sugar, immunosuppresion Methylxantines: theophylline relaxes muscle bundles that constrict airway Pediapred- PO steroid, liquid? Use albuterol first and then steroid- Dilate vessels so that med can go into body Rinse mouth after using steroids
