Foreign Body Aspiration
• Definition– Inhalation of any object (solid, or liquid, food or
non food) into the respiratory tract– A major health threat for infants and toddlers due
to their increased tendency to put objects in their mouth
• Pathophysiology– Severity depends on size and composition of
object and its location in the respiratory tract
![Page 4: Respiratory disorders(student)[1]](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55655061d8b42a77078b48de/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Foreign Body Aspiration: Manifestations
• Manifestations– Dysphonia (muffled hoarse,
or absent voice sounds)– Wheezing may also occur and
may last up to hours depending where object has lodged
– If a child can not say “P” words they have diminished expiratory effort
– If prolonged, s/s of hypoxia will become evident• Anxiety, upright position neck
extended• Irritability and decreased
responsiveness

Foreign Body Aspiration: Nursing Interventions
• Assessment and Diagnosis– Physiological Assessment– Psychosocial Assessment– Developmental Assessment
• Planning and Implementation– Complete obstruction
• Infant– Back blows and chest thrusts
• Child– Abdominal thrusts
– Partial Obstruction• Resuscitation equipment at bedside• Avoid anxiety increasing procedures to prevent a complete
obstruction• Evaluation

Croup Syndromes
• Croup- broad group of upper airway illnesses that result from swelling of the epiglottis and larynx
• Syndromes– Laryngotracheobronchitis- most common– Epiglottitis (Supraglottitis)– Bacterial Thracheitis
• The initial symptoms of all three conditions – Stridor, “seal like” barking cough, and hoarseness

LTB: Nursing Interventions• Assessment and Diagnosis
– Respiratory assessment– Cardio-respiratory monitoring and pulse oximetry
• Planning and Implementation– Maintaining Airway Patency
• Oxygen• Position• Communication• Medications (beta-agonists and beta adrenergics, and corticosteroids)• Albuterol, racemic epinephrine, dexamethasone
– Meet Fluid and Nutritional Needs– Discharge Planning and Home Care Teaching
• Evaluation

Epiglottitis (Supraglottitis): Nursing Interventions
• Assessment and Diagnosis– Airway management-
• Intubation is the treatment (do not leave the child unattended)• Position• Respiratory assessment
– Drug therapy• Antibiotics to treat infection
– Hydration– Emotional and Psychosocial support of the child and parents
• Postpone anxiety provoking procedures• Planning and Implementation
– Pt will be in a critical care setting while intubated– Teach parents about intubation and prepare for discharge
• Evaluation

Bacterial Tracheitis: Nursing Interventions
• Secondary infection of the upper trachea following a viral LTB– Staphylococcus aureus, group a streptococcus, moraxella
catarrhalis, or haemophilis influnzae• Commonly misdiagnosed for LTB– Similar symptoms but patient gets worse with therapy
instead of better– Diagnosed by blood cultures
• Nursing– Critical care setting
• Intubation– Frequent suctioning, oxygen or humidified air, antibiotics– Refer to epiglottitis
![Page 12: Respiratory disorders(student)[1]](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55655061d8b42a77078b48de/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bronchiolitis and RSV• Bronchiolitis
– Lower respiratory tract infection that occurs when a viral or bacterial organism causes inflammation and obstruction of the bronchioles
• Etiology– RSV is the most common
cause• Occurs in annual epidemics
from October to march• Transmitted through direct
contact with respiratory secretions or indirectly through contaminated surfaces
![Page 13: Respiratory disorders(student)[1]](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55655061d8b42a77078b48de/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Bronchiolitis: Manifestations and Clinical Therapy
• Manifestations– Mild-rhinitis, cough, low grade fever, wheezing,
tachypnea, poor feeding, vomiting, and diarrhea– Severe- tachypnea greater than 70bpm, grunting,
increased wheezing, retractions, nasal flaring, irritability, lethargy, poor fluid intake, and a distended abdomen from over-expanded lungs
• Clinical Therapy– No treatment– Isolation– Antipyretics– Ribavirin
• Expensive with marginal benefit and high risk to caregivers

Asthma• Definition
– Common chronic disorder of the airways that is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresonsiveness, and underlying inflammation
• Etiology and Pathophysiology– Caused by an interplay of multiple
factors• Environmental exposures, viral
illnesses, allergens, and a genetic predisposition
– Risk factors• Passive smoke exposure, indoor air
contaminants (pet dander, cockroach feces), outdoor air pollutants, recurrent respiratory viral infections, and allergic disease (atopic eczema, food allergies)

• Manifestations– asthma attack– asthma and children– Sudden cough, wheezing,
shortness of breath is referred to as an asthma episode or flare
• Clinical Therapy– Medications
• bronchodilators– Hydration– Education and support of
parents and child

Cystic Fibrosis• Definition
– Autosomal recessive disorder of the exocrine glands that results in physiologic alterations in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems
• Etiology– Decreased chloride secretion due
to a defective protein results in increased sodium absorption, causing the body to produce unusually thick, sticky, mucus that clogs the lungs leading to infections, and obstructs the pancreas secretion of natural enzymes that enable the body to digest and absorb food
![Page 19: Respiratory disorders(student)[1]](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062312/55655061d8b42a77078b48de/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CF: Manifestations and Clinical Therapy
• Manifestations– Salty taste of skin noticed by
parents first– Newborns- meconium ileus– Stool- steatorrhea(fat or
greasy), frothy (bulky and large quantity), foul smelling, and floating
– Respiratory-chronic moist, productive cough and frequent respiratory infections
– GI- difficulty gaining weight because of malabsorption and increased metabolic rate
• Clinical Therapy– Sweat test
• Seat chloride concentration of 50 to 60 meq/L is suspicious. If the chloride is greater than 60meq/L is diagnosed with other signs

CF: Nursing Management• Assessment and Diagnosis
– Physiologic Assessment– Psychosocial Assessment
• Planning and Implementation– Provide Respiratory Therapy
• CPT, aerosol treatment with a bronchodilator– Administer Medications and Meet Nutritional Needs
• Antibiotics for acute exacerbation via PO, inhalation or IV• Pancreatic enzymes taken with all meals and snacks• Fat soluble vitamins (ADEK) in water form b/c not easily absorbed from food• Nutritional supplements or NG/GT feeding to meet high metabolic rate/demands
– Provide Psychosocial Support– Discharge and Home Care Teaching
• Finances– Nursing Care in the Community
• Evaluation

Pharyngitis• Acute pharyngitis is an infection that primarily affects the
pharynx including the tonsils• Major complaint- sore throat
– See page 1303 Clinical Manifestations• Nursing Management
– Symptomatic relief• Acetaminophen for pain and fever• Cool, non-acidic fluids and soft foods, ice chips, or frozen ice pops• Humidification, chewing gum, warm slat water gargle• Home remedies more effective than O.T.C. throat sprays
– Teach parents to complete 10-day course of antibiotic is prescribed for bacterial pharyngitis• Treating strep infections prevents infections such as rheumatic fever,
cervical adenitis, sinusitis, glomerulonephritis, or meningitis)

Otitis Media• Inflammation of the middle ear• Etiology– Specific cause unknown, but appears to be related to
Eustachian tube dysfunction– URI precedes the otitis media– Most common causative organisms of infection are
streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae, and moraxella catarrhalis
• Manifestations– Pulling at the ear– Diarrhea, vomiting and fever– Acting out and irritability may be a sign of hearing loss
