also called eupenia. rhythmic and effortless. rate 8-16 breaths/min. tidal volume 400-800mL. | normal breathing |

T or F. In chronic bronchitis, pathological changes are irreversible but elimination of injuring factors stops the progression of the disease | true |
_______ may be primary or secondary to chronic bronchitis and cigarette smoking | pulmonary emphysema |

6th leading cause of death in the USA and the most lethal infection | pneumonia |
It's an acute infection of the lower respiratory tract typically caused by bacteria and viruses (also by fungi, protozoa or parasites) | Pneumonia |
Pneumonia: what is consolidation of a lobe called | lobar pneumonia |
Pneumonia: what is consolidation of a more diffuse area. | bronchopneumonia |
in regards to Pneumonia: The___ agent influences the clinical ion, how it should be treated and the prognosis. | causitive |
community acquired pneumonia is usually caused by the ____ pneumococcus while the nosocomial frequently results from ____ | pneumococcus, P. aeruginosa |
clinical manifestation of pneumonia: | fever, chills, cough, asthenia, anorexia, pleural pain, and sometimes dyspnea and hemoptysis. |
T or F. With pneumonia there is leukopenia with neutropenia | False. Leukocytosis and neutrophilia |
sometimes it is necessary to obtain the sputum by transtracheal aspiration to avoid what? | contamination with the normal flora. |
In pneumonia the pathogen is identified by means of sputum ___, staining, and cultures. | characteristics, staining, and cultures |
Treatment of bacterial pneumonia consists on administration of what? | Antibiotics |
Some severe cases of pneumonia will need______ and _____. | mechanical ventilation and O2 administration. |
Highly contagious infection caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, an acid-fast bacillus which usually affects the lungs but may invade other body systems and organs | Tuberculosis |
The leading cause of death from a curable infectious disease worldwide | Tuberculosis |
Tuberculosis is transmitted from person to person in airborne droplets and once the microorganism lodge in the lungs (usually upper lobe), it starts to multiply causing a non-specific _____. | pneumonitis |
In Tuberculosis, the microorganism can migrate through the lymphatics and lodge in the lymph nodes triggering a(n)____ response with inflammation and phagocytosis | immune |
In tuberculosis, inflammation and phagocytosis___ the bacilli, preventing their spread and sealing off their____ | isolate, colonies |
common manifestatons include fatigue, weight loss, anorexia, lethargy, low-grade fever (typically occurring in the afternoon) | Tuberculosis |
How is TB diagnosed | positive skin, sputum culture, and CXR |
A positive skin test for TB proves that the individual has been exposed to the bacillus and developed____ against it | Antibodies |
Tuberculosis grade 1 = | No TB, no exposure, no infection |
Tuberculosis grade 2 = | Infection, no disease |
Tuberculosis grade 3 = | Clinically active disease |
