3
Dyspnea on Effort (DOE)
Exertion-induced SOB Orthopnea Recumbent-induced SOB Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) Sudden SOB after recumbent Sever breathness at night relieved when patient sits up
4
Dyspnea Rapid Assessment ABC’s Mental status Presence of cyanosis
5
D Dyspnea Initial Interventions IV assess
Pulse oximetry; supplemental O2 Cardiac monitor
6
What Are the Indications for Airway Management?
Secure & maintain patency Protection Oxygenation Ventilation Treatment – Suction, medications
7
Dyspnea : History Prolonged questioning can be counterproductive
Yes/No questions if significantly dyspneic Unlike pain, severity of dyspnea = severity of disease What does patient mean by SOB? How long has SOB been present? Is it sudden or gradual Does anything make it better or worse?
8
Has there been similar episodes? Are there associated symptoms?
Dyspnea : History Has there been similar episodes? Are there associated symptoms? What is the past medical Hx? Smoking Hx? Medications?

COPD : Management Causes of Decompensation
Respiratory infection (increased mucus production) Chest trauma (pain discourages coughing or deep breathing) Sedation (depression of respirations and coughing) Spontaneous Pneumothorax Dehydration (causes mucus to dry out)
46
TRUE HYPOXIC DRIVE IS VERY RARE
COPD: Management Airway and Breathing Sitting position or position of comfort Calm & Reassure Encourage cough Avoid exertion Oxygen Don’t withhold Maintain O2 saturation above 90 % TRUE HYPOXIC DRIVE IS VERY RARE

Recent surgery or trauma Long bone fractures (lower) Oral contraceptives Pregnancy Smoking Cancer
61
Management Based on Severity of Sx/Sx Airway & Breathing
Pulmonary Embolism: Management Management Based on Severity of Sx/Sx Airway & Breathing High Concentration O2 Consider Assisting Ventilations Early Intubation Circulation IV, 2 Large Bore Sites Fluid Bolus then TKO; Titrate to BP ~ 90 mm Hg Monitor ECG Rapid transport
62
Rapid transport to appropriate facility
Pulmonary Embolism: Management Thrombolytics Aspirin & Heparin Rapid transport to appropriate facility Embolectomy or thrombolytics at hospital (rarely effective in severe cases due to time delay) Poor prognosis when cardiac arrest follows
63
IV Heparin vs Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)
Pulmonary Embolism: Management IV Heparin vs Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) IV Un-fractionated (UF) Heparin: Hypotension, massive PE, RF units/kg bolus over 10 minutes Infusion 20 units/kg/h Maintain Prothrombin time (PTT) seconds Oral or LMWH follow up to Heparin LMWH Dosing: For hemodyanamically stable pts Enoxaparin > 2mo/age: 1mg/kg SQ BID < 2mo/age: 1.5 mg/kg SQ daily Reviparin > 5kg: 100 U/kg SQ BID
64
Pleurisy Inflammation of pleura caused by a friction rub
Layers of pleura rubbing together Commonly associated with other respiratory disease
65
Presentation of Pleurisy
Sharp, sudden and intermittent chest pain with related dyspnea Possibly referred to shoulder May or with respiration Pleural “friction rub” may be audible” May have effusion or be dry
66
Pleurisy Management Based upon severity of presentation
Mostly supportive
67
Laryngotracheobronchitis (Croup)
Common syndrome of infectious upper airway obstruction Viral Infection Parainfluenza Virus Subglottic Edema Larynx, Trachea, mainstem bronchi Usually 3 months to 4 years of age
68
Croup: Management Usually requires little out of home treatment Calm & Prevent agitation Moist cool air - mist Humidified O2 by mask or blowby Do Not Examine Upper Airways
69
If in respiratory distress:
Croup: Management If in respiratory distress: Racemic epinephrine via nebulizer Decreases subglottic edema (temporarily) Necessitates transport for observation for rebound IV TKO - ONLY if severe respiratory distress Transport
70
Epiglottitis Bacterial infection (Hemophilus influenza ) Edema of epiglottis (supraglottic) partial upper airway obstruction Typically affects 3-7 year olds
71
Epiglottitis: Management
Immediate life threat (8-12% die from airway obstruction) Do NOT attempt to visualize airway Allow child to assume position of comfort AVOID agitation of the child AVOID anxiety of the healthcare providers O2 by high concentration mask
72
Epiglottitis: Management
If respiratory failure is eminent: IV TKO ONLY if eminent or respiratory arrest Be prepared to take control of airway Intubation equipment with smaller sized tubes Needle cricothyrotomy & jet ventilation equipment Rapid but calm transport Appropriate facility
73
Upper Respiratory Infection
Common illness Rarely life-threatening Often exacerbates underlying pulmonary conditions May become more significant in some patients Immunosuppressed Elderly Chronic pulmonary disease
74
Usually requires no intervention
Management of URI Usually requires no intervention Oxygen if underlying condition has been exacerbated Rarely, pharmacologic interventions are required Bronchodilators Corticosteroid
75
Hyperventilation Syndrome
76
Hyperventilation Syndrome
A diagnosis of EXCLUSION!!! An increased ventilatory rate that DOES NOT have a pathologic origin Results from anxiety Remains a real problem for the patient
77
Hyperventilation Syndrome: Pathophysiology
Tachypnea or Hyperpnea secondary to anxiety Decreased PaCO2 Respiratory alkalosis Vasoconstriction Hypocalcemia Decreased O2 Release to Tissues
78
Hyperventilation Syndrome : Signs & Symptoms
Light-headedness, giddiness, anxiety Numbness, paresthesias of: Hands Feet Circumoral area Cold hands, feet Carpopedal spasms Dyspnea Chest pain
79
Hyperventilation Syndrome : Signs & Symptoms
Rapid breathing Cool & possibly pale skin Carpopedal spasm Dysrhythmias Sinus Tachycardia SVT Sinus arrhythmia Loss of consciousness and seizures (late & rare)
80
Hyperventilation Syndrome : Management
Educate patient & family Consider possible psychopathology especially in “repeat customers” Transport occasionally required If loss of consciousness, carpopedal spasm, muscle twitching, or seizures occur: Monitor EKG IV TKO Transport
81
Hyperventilation Syndrome
Serious diseases can mimic hyperventilation Hyperventilation itself can be serious
82
Central Respiratory Depression
83
Respiratory Depression : Causes
Head trauma CVA Depressant drug toxicity Narcotics Barbiturates Benzodiazepines ETOH
84
Respiratory Depression : Recognition
Decreased respiratory rate (< 12/min) Decreased tidal volume Decreased LOC Use Your Stethoscope Look, Listen, Feel THEY PROBABLY AREN’T If you can’t tell whether a patient is breathing adequately...
85
Respiratory Depression : Management
Airway Open, clear, maintain Consider endotracheal intubation The need to VENTILATE is not the same as the need to INTUBATE
86
Respiratory Depression: Management
Breathing Oxygenate, ventilate Restore normal rate, tidal volume Oxygen alone is INSUFFICIENT if Ventilation is INADEQUATE
87
Respiratory Depression: Management
Circulation Obtain vascular access Monitor EKG (Silent MI may present as CVA) Manage Cause Check Blood Sugar Consider Narcan 2mg IV push if S/S suggest narcotic overdose Intubate if can not find or treat cause
88
Guillian-Barre´ Syndrome
Autoimmune disease Leads to inflammation and degeneration of sensory and motor nerve roots (de-myelination) Progressive ascending paralysis Progressive tingling and weakness Moves from extremities then proximally May lead to respiratory paralysis (25%)
89
Guillian-Barre´ Syndrome Management
Treatment based on severity of symptoms Control airway Support ventilation Oxygen Transport in cases of respiratory depression, distress or arrest
90
Causes loss of ACh receptors at neuromuscular junction
Myasthenia Gravis Autoimmune disease Causes loss of ACh receptors at neuromuscular junction Attacks the ACh transport mechanism at the NMJ Episodes of extreme skeletal muscle weakness Can cause loss of control of airway, respiratory paralysis
91
Myasthenia Gravis Presentation
Gradual onset of muscle weakness Face and throat Extreme muscle weakness Respiratory weakness -> paralysis Inability to process mucus
92
Myasthenia Gravis Management
Treat symptomatically Watch for aspiration May require assisted ventilations Assess for Pulmonary infection Transport based upon severity of presentation Plasmapharesis
