Lung abscess is a pus-filled cavity formed by the necrosis of lung tissue, usually caused by aspiration or infection by bacteria or fungi. Common symptoms include cough, sputum, fever, and chest pain. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans and chest X-rays along with sputum and blood cultures. Treatment primarily consists of prolonged antibiotic therapy for 2-4 months, with drainage or surgery occasionally needed for large abscesses. Complications can include chronic abscesses, empyema, bleeding, or broncho-pleural fistulas if not properly treated.
Pneumothorax is defined as air in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall. It is classified as spontaneous, traumatic, or iatrogenic. A tension pneumothorax occurs when air enters the pleural space during inspiration but cannot escape during expiration, causing rising pressure and potential cardiovascular compromise. Symptoms include chest pain and breathlessness. Diagnosis is made through chest x-ray showing increased radiolucency. Small primary pneumothorax may resolve on its own, while secondary pneumothorax requires tube drainage. Tension pneumothorax is a medical emergency treated with needle decompression followed by tube insertion.

2. First degree burns affect the outer layer of skin and cause redness and pain but usually heal within 6 days without scarring. Second degree burns involve deeper layers of skin and cause blistering, taking 2-4 weeks to heal and possibly resulting in slight scarring.
3. Third degree burns are the most severe, affecting all layers of skin and sometimes underlying tissues, appearing charred or white. They take extensive time to heal, often with permanent scarring or requiring skin grafts.
There are three main types of anesthesia: general anesthesia that makes patients unconscious and unable to move for major invasive surgeries; local anesthesia that affects a small part of the body for procedures like dental work or skin removal; and regional anesthesia that affects larger areas like an arm or leg for surgeries like hand operations or C-sections. Anesthesia allows for safer and more effective medical procedures by preventing pain and is essential for many life-saving surgeries to be possible.
This document discusses fumigation as a process to sterilize operating rooms. It describes various fumigation methods and chemicals used, such as formaldehyde and phosphine. Formaldehyde is commonly used to fumigate operating rooms by heating a formaldehyde solution to generate gas. The room is sealed for hours to allow the gas to kill microbes before ventilating. While effective, formaldehyde is a potential carcinogen. Alternative sterilization methods aim to provide sterile environments without toxic fumigation chemicals. Strict cleaning and ventilation standards combined with limiting staff traffic can sterilize operating rooms safely.
This document discusses ethics in nursing and surgery. It defines ethics as the branch of philosophy concerning what is good for individuals and society. Surgical ethics is an essential discipline that represents moral responsibility and evolves through clinical experience. The document outlines key issues in surgical ethics like autonomy, informed consent, confidentiality, and standards of care. Autonomy respects a patient's ability to make choices about treatment. Informed consent requires providing accurate and understandable information to patients. Confidentiality governs how private patient information is disclosed. Standards of care require specialized training to optimize health outcomes.
The document discusses various terms related to sterilization and disinfection including sterilization, disinfection, antiseptics, asepsis, and decontamination. It describes different methods of sterilization including physical methods like heat, radiation, filtration and drying as well as chemical methods using agents like alcohol, aldehydes, dyes, halogens, and phenols. Heat sterilization methods like moist and dry heat are explained in detail, noting the factors that influence sterilization and the appropriate temperatures and times required.
Pain management techniques include heat and cold application, exercise, physical and occupational therapy, mind-body techniques like yoga and biofeedback, as well as music therapy, therapeutic massage, and medications. Pain is an unpleasant feeling in the nervous system that can be sharp or dull and may come and go or be constant, and it is classified as either acute if lasting less than 6 months or chronic if persisting longer than 6 months.
This document provides information on assessing patients for cardiac issues. It discusses important risk factors and symptoms of heart disease. The physical assessment includes inspecting the skin, measuring vital signs, auscultating heart sounds, and evaluating the lungs and extremities for edema. The assessment also involves taking a health history and reviewing diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, EKGs, and blood work including cardiac enzyme levels and lipid profiles. A thorough cardiac assessment provides valuable information to identify underlying heart conditions.
Organization and functions of nursing srvices and educationMahesh Chand
The document discusses the organization and roles of nursing services at different levels including hospitals, nursing education, and the community level. It outlines the hierarchy and responsibilities of nursing positions within hospitals from the director of nursing down to staff nurses. It also describes the roles of primary health centers and community health centers in providing nursing services at the community level. The primary objectives of nursing services at all levels are to provide quality care, health promotion, and disease prevention for patients and the community.
Hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis occur when the thyroid gland overproduces thyroid hormones. Thyroid storm is a life-threatening exacerbation of thyrotoxicosis caused by factors like infection, surgery, or medication changes. It involves fever, sweating, tachycardia, anxiety, and heart failure. Treatment focuses on cooling the patient, blocking further hormone production with antithyroid drugs and iodine, and supporting heart and brain function with beta-blockers and glucocorticoids. Thyroidectomy may be required for severe cases not responding to medical management.
Acute respiratory failure occurs when the respiratory system fails to maintain adequate gas exchange. There are two main types: hypoxemic respiratory failure, characterized by low oxygen levels, and acute ventilatory failure, characterized by high carbon dioxide levels. Hypoxemic failure is most common and can result from conditions that impair gas exchange like pneumonia or pulmonary edema. Ventilatory failure involves impaired breathing and can be caused by conditions that increase breathing workload like COPD. Diagnosis involves blood gas analysis and imaging. Treatment focuses on supporting oxygenation and ventilation through oxygen supplementation, ventilation support, and treating underlying causes.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. It spreads through inhaling droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected individual. Typical symptoms include cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss. Diagnosis involves chest x-rays, sputum smear tests and the tuberculin skin test. Treatment requires taking multiple antibiotics daily for 6-12 months. Strict adherence to treatment is important to cure the infection and prevent drug resistance.
Pleural effusion is an excess accumulation of fluid in the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall that can impair breathing. It is classified as a transudate or exudate, with transudates caused by conditions like heart or liver failure that increase hydrostatic pressure, and exudates caused by inflammation from infections or cancers. Fluid types include serous, bloody, chyle, or pus. Symptoms are shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing. Diagnosis involves chest imaging and fluid analysis. Treatment focuses on treating the underlying cause, relieving symptoms through thoracentesis or chest tube drainage, and preventing reaccumulation of fluid.
Acute pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection of the kidneys that is commonly caused by E. coli. It presents with symptoms like fever, flank pain, nausea, and costovertebral angle tenderness. Diagnosis involves urinalysis showing pyuria and bacteria in the urine along with elevated white blood cell count. Treatment is with intravenous antibiotics initially for severe cases, transitioning to oral antibiotics for 3 weeks along with supportive care like antipyretics and hydration. Nursing care focuses on administering antibiotics, monitoring vital signs and urine output, controlling fever and nausea, and ensuring resolution of the infection.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. DEFINITION
COPD is a disease state characterized by
the presence of airflow obstruction caused by
chronic Bronchitis or emphysema. The airflow
obstruction is generally progressive, may be
accompanied by airway hyperactivity, and may
be partially reversible.

PREVALENCE of MORTALITY
• In 2000, the WHO estimated 2.74 million
COPD deaths worldwide.
• In 1990, COPD was ranked 12th leading
cause of death.
• It is expected to be the third leading
cause of death by 2020.
• 10 lacs Indians die in a year due to
smoking related diseases.
• In India, 4,00,000 premature deaths
annually due to use of biomass fuels, like
cow dung cakes, open fires

10. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
Chronic bronchitis, a disease of the
airways, is defined as the presence of cough
and sputum production for at least 3
months in each of two Consecutive years.
11. EMPHYSEMA
• Is a pathological term describes an
abnormal distension of air spaces beyond the
terminal bronchioles, with destruction of wall
of alveoli.
15. Did you know?
• The King of Pop suffered from Alpha-1
antitrypsin deficiency,
16. Centrilobular (central part of lobule)
•Dilation and destruction of respiratory
bronchioles and pulmonary capillary bed
•Prominent in upper lobes
Panlobular (destruction of whole lobule)
•Affects respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and
alveolar sacs.
•Prominent in lower lobes

19. Clinical Manifestations
• Develops slowly around 50 yrs of age after
20 pack years of cigarette smoking
• Diagnosis is considered with
– Cough
– Sputum production
– Dyspnea
– Exposure to risk factors
* Packets per day x Years of smoking = Pack Years
20. Clinical Manifestations
• Intermittent Cough with
expectoration
• Progressive Dyspnea
Described by the patient as an
“increased effort to breathe,”
“heaviness,”
“air hunger,” or “gasping.”
21. Clinical Manifestations
• chest breathing
– Use of accessory such as those in
the neck and intercostal muscles
– Decreased abdominal breathing –
– Purse lip breathing on expiration.
It helps to prevent airway
collapse by increasing pressure .
25. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
• *Percussion :
• Hyperresonant
• depressed diaphragm,
• *Auscultation:
• Prolonged expiration ;
• reduced breath sounds;
• The presence of wheezing during
quiet breathing
Crackle can be heard if infection
exist.
26. Para clinical examination
• CT: highlighting the pulmonary emphysema
and emphysema bubbles.
• Blood examination
In excerbation or acute infection in airway,
leucocytosis may be detected.
• Screening for alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
• Sputum examination
streptococcus pneumonia
Haemophilus influenzae
klebsiella pneumonia
27. • 6-Minute walk test to determine O2
desaturation in the blood with exercise
• ECG can show signs of right ventricular failure
• ABG typical findings
– Low PaO2
– ↑ PaCO2
– ↓ pH
– ↑ Bicarbonate level found in late stages COPD

40. NURSING DIAGNOSES
• Impaired gas exchange related to ventilation perfusion mismatch
• Ineffective breathing pattern related to bronchoconstriction.
• Self care deficit (global) related to generalised weakness secondary
to increased work of breathing
• Sleep pattern disturbance related to breathing difficulty
• Ineffective individual coping related to dyspnea, and
hospitalisation.
41. NURSING DIAGNOSES Contd….…..
• Interrupted family process related to chronic condition.
• Risk for aspiration related to depressed cough/ gag reflexs,
impaired swallowing or delayed gastric emptying.
• Risk for infection related to ineffective pulmonary clearance
• Risk for impaired skin integrity related to prolonged bed ridden.
• Anxiety related to outcome of disease
• Deficient knowledge regarding self management to be performed
at home.

2. Use additional pillows as needed to prevent slumping
because slumping causes the abdominal contents to be
pushed up against the diaphragm and restrict lung
expansion.
3. Provide uninterrupted rest periods to increase strength
and activity tolerance which in turn promotes
participation in activities to improve breathing pattern.
4. Instruct patient to do deep breathing exercise as
follows.
a.)Sit up, stand or lean forward slightly while sitting on
edge of bed or chair.b.)Take in a slow, deep breath
c.)Pause slightly or hold breath for at least 3 secs.
d.)Exhale slowlye.)Rest and repeat as tolerated.
5. Instruct patient to do pursed-lip breathing as it causes
a mild resistance to exhalation, which creates positive
pressure in the airways. This pressure helps prevent
airway collapse and subsequently promotes more
complete alveolar emptying
