Schematic Diagram BA HAP HR

This schematic diagram outlines the predisposing and precipitating factors, pathophysiological process, and symptoms of bronchial asthma and hospital-acquired pneumonia. For asthma, it shows that factors like family history, age, gender, and allergies can predispose individuals, while air pollution, stress, cold air, and smoking can precipitate an attack. This leads to an immunological response where IgE antibodies attach to cells in the lungs, causing them to degranulate and induce inflammation, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms. For pneumonia, it outlines how stasis of secretions and inhalation of microorganisms can lead to their invasion of the lungs and multiplication, causing symptoms like fever, sputum

Schematic Diagram

Predisposing Factors: Precipitating Factors:

(+) Family History (maternal and (+) Air pollution


paternal side) (+)Aspirin use
(+) Age (> 40 y.o.) (+)Stress
(+) Gender (Females > Male) (-) Cold air
(-) Race (African- American) (-) Occupational exposures
(-) Allergies (-) Smoking
(-) Obesity
(-) GERD

Exposure to irritants

Production of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) by B lymphocytes

IgE antibodies attach to mast cells and

basophils in the bronchial walls

Mast cells degranulate

Altered immunologic response

Difficulty in Increased airway resistance Cough


sleeping Dyspnea
Wheezing
Mucus inflammation Chest pain

Bronchial Asthma

Stasis of secretions in large airways


Inhalation of microorganisms

Rapid bounding Invasion of microorganisms in the Rapidly rising fever


pulse
spaces between cells and between alveoli

through connecting pores

Organisms multiply in the serous Purulent sputum

fluid thus the spread of infection

Lung tissue fills with exudates and fluids

Confusion or changes Inflammation and edema of the lung parenchyma Tachypnea


in mental awareness Pleuritic chest pain

Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia- High Risk
