  2. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_exacerbation_of...

    A history of exposure to potential causes and evaluation of symptoms may help in revealing the cause the exacerbation, which helps in choosing the best treatment. A sputum culture can specify which strain is causing a bacterial AECB. [5] An early morning sample is preferred. [7] E-nose showed the ability to smell the cause of the exacerbation. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheobronchial_injury

    The most common tracheal injury is a tear near the carina or in the membranous wall of the trachea. [15] In blunt chest trauma, TBI occurs within 2.5 cm of the carina 40–80% of the time. [2] The injury is more common in the right main bronchus than the left, possibly because the former is near vertebrae, which may injure it. [2]

    In severe cases that are difficult to control, chronic treatment with oral corticosteroids may be necessary, although this is fraught with significant side effects. COPD is generally irreversible although lung function can partially recover if the patient stops smoking. Smoking cessation is an essential aspect of treatment. [9]

  6. Trepopnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trepopnea

    Patients with trepopnea in most lung diseases prefer to lie and sleep on the opposite side of the diseased lung, as the gravitation increases perfusion of the lower lung. Increased perfusion in diseased lung would increase shunting and hypoxemia , resulting in worsening shortness of breath when lying on the affected lung.

  7. Acute respiratory distress syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_respiratory_distress...

    lung injury of acute onset, within 1 week of an apparent clinical insult and with the progression of respiratory symptoms; bilateral opacities on chest imaging (chest radiograph or CT) not explained by other lung pathology (e.g. effusion, lobar/lung collapse, or nodules) respiratory failure not explained by heart failure or volume overload ...

  8. Respiratory failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_failure

    Treatment of the underlying cause is required, if possible. The treatment of acute respiratory failure may involve medication such as bronchodilators (for airways disease), [7] [8] antibiotics (for infections), glucocorticoids (for numerous causes), diuretics (for pulmonary oedema), amongst others.

  9. Autonomic dysreflexia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_dysreflexia

    Most cases of AD occur in individuals with spinal cord injuries. [3] Lesions at or above the T6 spinal cord level are more frequently reported, although there are reports of AD in patients with lesions as low as T10. [4] [5] Guillain–Barré syndrome may also cause autonomic dysreflexia. [6]
