Respiratory Disease
CHAPTER 65
Increased Risk
Respiratory failure
Airway obstruction
Asthma attack
Hyperventilation
Anaphylaxis
Allergic reactions
Scientific evidence
shows that bacteria
from periodontal
infections can
contribute/initiate
certain respiratory
infections.
Vitals
Spirometry: medical test that measures various aspects of breathing and lung
infections
Pulse Oximetry: measures blood oxygen saturation levels
-healthy oxygen saturation is 97-100%; anything below 91% signifies poor
oxygen exchange
Chest Radiography: indicated presence of pathological density in the lungs
Blood Gas Analysis: determines acid/base balance, alveolar ventilation, arterial
oxygen saturation, and carbon dioxide
Cytology and hematology evaluation: examine cells and body fluids to
determine the presence of microorganisms that cause respiratory diseases
ACUTE
CHRONIC
Acute bronchitis
pneumonia
Tuberculosis
Asthama
COPD (chronic bronchitis and
emphysema)
Cystic Fibrosis
Acute Bronchitis
Pneumonia
Community Acquired Pneumonia
(CAP)
Person-to-person
transmission
Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia
(HCAP)
Tuberculosis
Disease Development: inhaled tubercle bacilli travel to the lung alveoli where the
local infection begins
Diagnosis
Asthma
Extrinsic (allergic and atrophic): allergic triggers from outside the body
Exercised Induced
Infection Induced
Asthma (continued)
Cystic Fibrosis
The gene disorder affects salt and water in epithelial cells of the
respiratory tract and exocrine glands and results in thickened
secretions
Respiratory Disease
Ouestion #1
Chronic respiratory
diseases include all of the
following except one.
Which one is the
exception?
B. Pneumonia
C. Tuberculosis
D. COPD
Ouestion #2
Oral manifestations due to
asthma medications
include:
C. Oral Candidiasis
D. Both A and B
E.
Question #3
The primary etiology of
COPD is inhaling tobacco
smoke with occupational
and environmental
pollutants as contributing
factors. Tobacco use
accounts for 40-50% of
COPD mortality in men
and women?
