- 3. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Cough Cough is the most frequent symptom of respiratory diseases Coughing is a forceful expiratory maneuver that expels mucus and foreign material from the airways. Coughing usually occurs when irritant receptors are stimulated by inflammation, mucus, foreign materials, or noxious gases. Cough receptors are located primarily in the larynx trachea, and larger bronchi. Inspiration is followed by an expiratory effort against a closed glottis. Subsequent sudden opening of the glottis with rapid expiratory flow produces the characteristic sound.
- 4. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Cough The effectiveness of a cough depends on (1) the ability to take a deep breath, (2) lung elastic recoil, (3) expiratory muscle strength, and (4) level of airway resistance. The ability to take a deep breath and exhale forcefully is often impaired in patients with cardiopulmonary, neurologic, or neuromuscular diseases. An inadequate cough because of pain in the early postoperative period following upper abdominal or thoracic surgery or trauma results in atelectasis, retained secretions, and increased susceptibility for developing pneumonia and/or hypoxemia

- 9. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Sputum Production Sputum is the substance expelled from the tracheobronchial tree, pharynx, mouth, sinuses, and nose by coughing or clearing the throat. The term phlegm refers strictly to secretions from the lungs and tracheobronchial tree uncontaminated by oral secretions The tracheobronchial tree normally secretes up to 100 mL of sputum each day. Sputum should be described as to the color, consistency, odor, quantity, time of day, and presence of blood or other distinguishing matter A change in colour or consistency, or an increase in volume may indicate a new infection in chronic dis

- 12. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Hemoptysis Coughing up blood, irrespective of the amount, is an alarming symptom and patients nearly always seek medical advice, must always be assumed to have a serious cause until this is excluded. Massive >200 ml/episode, (400 mL in 3 hours or more than 600 mL in 24 hours) is seen with lung cancers, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, and trauma.

- 15. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases management severe acute haemoptysis the patient should be nursed upright (or on the side of the bleeding, if this is known, give high-flow oxygen resuscitation. Bronchoscopy in the acute phase is difficult If radiology shows an obvious central cause, then rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia may allow intervention to stop bleeding; if not visualised, Intubation with a divided endotracheal tube Bronchial arteriography and embolisation or even emergency surgery, can be life-saving .

Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases In non life threating (vast majority) Investigations chest X-ray, full blood count (FBC) and clotting screen bronchoscopy after acute bleeding has settled, CTPA, which may reveal underlying pulmonary thromboembolic disease or alternative causes not seen on the chest X-ray (e.g. pulmonary arteriovenous malformation or small or hidden tumours).
- 17. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Breathlessness Breathlessness or dyspnoea can be defined as the feeling of an uncomfortable need to breathe. It is unusual among sensations, as it has no defined receptors, no localised representation in the brain, and multiple causes both in health (e.g. exercise) and in diseases of the lungs, heart or muscles.
- 18. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Pathophysiology Respiratory diseases can stimulate breathing and dyspnoea by: stimulating intrapulmonary sensory nerves (e.g. pneumothorax, interstitial inflammation and pulmonary embolus) increasing the mechanical load on the respiratory muscles (e.g. airflow obstruction or pulmonary fibrosis) causing hypoxia, hypercapnia or acidosis, which stimulate chemoreceptors.

- 33. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Stridor This harsh, grating respiratory sound is caused by vibration of the walls of the trachea or major bronchi when the airway lumen is critically narrowed by compression, tumour or inhaled foreign material. Inspiration lowers the pressure inside the extrathoracic trachea, so critical narrowing here leads to inspiratory stridor. In contrast, the intrathoracic large airways are compressed during expiration by positive pressure in the surrounding lung, leading to fixed expiratory wheeze or stridor. Large airway narrowing at the thoracic inlet (for example, tracheal compression by a large goitre) cause both inspiratory ,expiratory stridor
- 34. Symptoms of Respiratory Diseases Edema is soft tissue swelling resulting from an abnormal accumulation of fluid. It may be generalized (anasarca), may appear only in dependent body areas (feet and ankles in ambulatory patients or the sacral area in patients on bed rest), or may be limited to a single extremity or organ (such as pulmonary edema). Edema is associated with kidney disease, liver disease, cardiac and pulmonary disease, and obstruction of venous or lymphatic drainage of an extremity.
