Pneumonia!
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
45/90
Pneumonia Inflammatory process in the lungs that produces
excess fluid. Pneumonia is triggered by infectiousorganisms or by the aspiration of an irritant, such as
fluid or a foreign object The inflammatory process in the lung parenchyma
results in edema and exudate that fills the alveoli
Immunocompromised are more susceptible.Immobility can be a contributing factor
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
46/90
2 Types of Pneumonia 1. Community Acquired (CAP)- most common type.
Occurs as a complication of influenza
2. Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP)- has a highermortality rate
**** Older adults are more suspectible to infections
and have DECREASED PULMONARY RESERVES DUETO NORMAL LUNG CHANGES, including decreasedLUNG ELASTICITY and thickening alveoli

S/S of Laryngeal Cancer Persistent hoarseness, lump in throat, mouth or neck,dysphagia, persistent or unilateral ear pain, weightloss, foul breath
Hard, immobile lymph nodes in the neck (ifmetastasis has occurred)
Dyspnea (if tumor is an advanced stage)
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
74/90
Laboratory Tests Tumor mapping may be done by taking multiplebiopsy samples
Mapping verifies where the tumor is located, its
margins, and type
Staging is done using this info
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
75/90
Diagnostic Procedures X-rays of skull, sinuses, neck and chest CT and MRI scan These help to determine the extent and exact location of the
tumor and level of soft tissue invasion
Indirect and direct laryngoscopy - indirect is done to see if the tumor can be visualized - direct is used to visualize the tumor more closely and to obtain
a biopsy which will determine cell type and staging
Before procedure, pt must be NPO. Post procedure assess for return of GAG reflex Inform clients after topical anesthetic is applied, they may feel
like they cannot swallow.

radiation or chemotherapy is ordered
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
78/90
Laryngectomy May be a partial (removal of one or part of 1 larynx) or totallaryngectomy (removal of both larynx)
* if cancer is advanced, all or part of the epiglottis mayneed to be removed
** temp. tracheostomies may be established for clients whorequired only a partial laryngectomy
Permanent tracheal stomas are created for clients who haveundergone total laryngectomies
A laryngectomy tube is inserted into the stomaimmediately after the surgery. This prevents contracturesfrom forming while the stoma is healing.
The 11th cranial nerve may be cut resulting in drop followingsurgery
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
79/90
Total laryngectomy Pts will lose their natural voice
7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint
