Question

Create a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation of the pediatric condition you selected. Ensure that your presentation addresses:

1. Description and etiology  of the condition
2. Epidemiology for the condition
3. Pathophysiology
4. Clinical Manifestation
5. Diagnostic evaluation
6. Therapeutic Management: Be sure to address medication as well as surgical and non-surgical management if applicable
7. Care Management to include nursing intervention

The presentation should have a title slide and a reference slide. They are not included in the slide count.

Choose a Pediatric Condition and Create a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation of the pediatric condition.

Answer 1

A Paediatric condition: Bronchitis

TITTLE : BRONCHITIS

SLIDE 1

Introduction: Respiratory conditions, are super common in children, such as common cold , asthma , bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia etc. Paediatric Bronchitis is one of the major respiratory condition that affect child's health and quality of life.

Slide 2

Bronchitis:

An inflammation of bronchi of the lungs , that causes the cilia of the bronchial epithelial cells  to stop functioning . It may be Acute or chronic

( Acute: Suddenly evolving, chronic : long standing and serious)

Slide : 3

Epidemiology : Bronchitis,. both Acute and Chronic, is one of the top 5 reasons for the paediatric consultation in United States. It is mainly seen in babies below 2 years or children younger than 15 years(peak incude: 9- 15 years), and both male and female affected with this condition.  

Slide 4

Etiology :

Acute bronchitis

* Viral or bacterial infection ( same virus that  causes cold). Eg: Adino virus , Rhino and influenza virus. Streptococcus Pneumoniae, H. Influenzae etc.

Chronic bronchitis:

* Allergy from Air pollution, chemical fumes, dust

* passive smoking ( smoke inhaled from another active smoker, such as a family member)

Slide 5

Risk factors:

* Family history of chronic bronchitis

* Smoking

* Asthma or allergies

* weaker immune system

slide 6

Pathophysiology

Due to etiology/ infection/ allergy

? ( leads to)

Irritation in the mucosal lining of brinchial tubes

?

Inflammation, results in increased production of mucous, swelling and pain

?

ASL ( Airway surface liquid) dehydration and mucociliary dysfunction in patient leads to less clearance of mucous secretion

?

Bronchospasm and less clearance of secretion

?

chest pain, cough and shortness of breathing

Slide 7

Clinical manifestations :

Productive cough ( with clear, yellow or green mucous)

Retrosternal pain , chest pain ( During breathing and coughing)

Shortness of breath

whistling or wheezing sound when breathing.

Slide 8

* Child may complain about body aches and chills

* low fever

* stuffy or runny nose

* sore throat

Slide 9

Diagnostic Evaluation :

* Physical examination and History collection for the symptoms

* Chest x-ray

* Chech oxygen saturation of child's blood

* lung function test with a Spirometer

* Blood test to rule out infection

* Sputum test to identify the bacteria.

Slide 10

Therapeutic management :

Medication:

* Antibiotics to treat bacterial infection

* Antiinflammatories to reduce inflammation of brinchial lining

* Broncodialators to relieve brinchospasm

* Expectorant to increase the expectoration of mucous out of the lungs.

* Oxygen administration as per physician's order

Slide 11

Non therapeutic and nursing measures

* Steam Inhalation by a humidifier

* Provide a hot shower to child

* Adequate rest to the child

* Encourage the child to take plenty of water

Slide 13:

Nursing measures

* Provide adequate ventilation for the child by a low speed fan : air movement can ease breathing.

* Provide a comfortable position to the child. Semi sitting position can ease breathing due to more lung expansion.

*Be with the child. Provide a comfortable atmosphere.

* Don't give any cold food or drinks

* instruct the parents to avoid smoking.
