    bronchitis

    • 526 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Bronchitis is a respiratory disease in which the mucus membrane in the lungs' bronchial passages becomes inflamed. As the irritated membrane swells and grows thicker, it narrows or shuts off the tiny airways in the lungs, resulting in coughing spells that may be accompanied by phlegm and breathlessness. The disease comes in two forms: acute (lasting from one to three weeks) and chronic (lasting at least 3 months of the year for two years in a row). People with asthma may also have asthmatic bronchitis, inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes. Acute bronchitis may be responsible for the hacking cough and phlegm production that sometime accompany an upper respiratory infection. In most cases, the infection is viral in origin, but sometimes it's caused by bacteria.If you are otherwise in good health, the mucus membrane should return to normal after you've recovered from the initial lung infection, which usually lasts for several days. Chronic bronchitis is a serious long-term disorder that often requires regular medical treatment. If you are a smoker and come down with acute bronchitis, it will be much harder for you to recover. Every cigarette damages the tiny hair-like structures in your lungs, called cilia, that are responsible for brushing out debris, irritants, and excess mucus.If you continue smoking, the damage to these cilia prevent them from functioning properly, thus increasing your chances of developing chronic bronchitis. In some heavy smokers, the mucus membrane lining the airways stays inflamed and the cilia eventually stop functioning altogether. Clogged with mucus, the lungs are then vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections, which over time distort and permanently damage the lungs' airways. This permanent condition is called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Your doctor can perform a breathing test, called spirometry, to see if you have developed COPD. WebMD has many resources to help you to successfully quit smoking. Chronic…

    Respiratory disorders are among the most common causes of illness and hospitalization in children. Overall, respiratory dysfunction in children tends to be more serious than in adults because the lumens in a child’s respiratory tract are smaller and therefore, are more likely to become obstructed. Moreover, because very young children can panic when breathing becomes labored, a great deal of nursing support should be at hand to care for them.…

    The average human takes breathing for granted. One might think that breathing is just an involuntary movement, but for the millions of people who suffer from respiratory illnesses, each and every breath is a major accomplishment to another day of daily life. The respiratory system not only oxygenates the blood for the body, but also filters out wastes, infections, and provides the air that is needed for daily speech. The respiratory system is a vital component of the body and although the lungs can stand abuse from some smoke and pollutants, there are a variety of disorders and diseases that can be completely temporary and harmless, while others can be life-threatening. Respiratory diseases include diseases that affect the lungs, pleural cavity, trachea, bronchial tubes, and the muscles and nerves it takes to breathe. Respiratory diseases can be classified by several different things, such as the organ involved, the pattern of the symptoms, or the cause of the disease. There are a variety of respiratory diseases, such as bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, empyema, mycoplasma pneumonia, pleurisy, and lung abscesses. Respiratory diseases, mild or fatal are treated differently according to their symptoms and severity.…
