    Bronchitis occurs when microorganisms enter the respiratory tract through inhalation of droplets, causing widespread inflammation in the bronchi. Predisposing factors include bacteria, viruses, smoking, malnutrition, old age, immobilization, immune deficiency, and long-term illness. Precipitating factors are hospitalization, unadvisable environments, and smoking. Inflammation leads to thick mucus production, narrowing of airways, decreased ventilation, and impaired gas exchange.

    Microorganism enter respiratory tract by droplet inhalation Widespread inflammation occurs (Increased goblet cells, squamous metaplasia of columnar epithelium, acute leukotic and lymphocytic infiltration of bronchial walls) Thin mucous lining of the bronchi can become irritated and swollen Cells that make up this lining may leak fluids in response to the inflammation Coughing as a reflex that works to clear secretions from the lungs Alveolar fluid increase Narrowing of airways Ventilation decreases as secretion thickens Mucus within the airways produces resistance in small airways and can cause severe ventilation- perfusion imbalance
