Cough (咳嗽)
A
protective reflex that uncommon in
healthy personal
cleanse secretion & foreign material from
the airway
Initiated by miscellaneous stimuli or by
voluntary exertion.
The most common respiratory symptom.
Cough reflex (咳嗽反射)
Afferent inform.from: ENT, trachea,
bifurcation of the bronchi. skin of the
face & neck; pleura
Irritant type: mechanical, chemical,
inflammation
Afferent fibers (vague nerve)
cough center.
Cough reflex(咳嗽反射)
Efferent signals
larynx: glottis close or open
Relating muscles ( diaphragm,chest wall,
abdomen )
A coordinated series of action to perform
the cough movement. Deep inspiration –
expiration effort with glottis closed- glottis
open abruptly – high volocity of airflow
brings out screations from airways.
Influencing factors(影响因素)
Supressed afferant or efferent nerve
function :coma, senior age
Failed glottis function
Diminished muscle force: cachexy(恶液质)
Obstructed airway seen in severe COPD
Trachea intubation
Chest or abdominal pain limit cough
movement
Main Causes(原因)
Airway
infection & inflammation
Lung parenchyma disorders
Airway stimulation by chemicals & foreign
material
Pleural & chest wall disorders
Cardiovascular abnormalities
Afferent nerve fiber
Other causes Psychiatric cough
Classification (分类)
Non
production ( dry cough ,干咳)
Expecteration
(with sputum,咳痰)
Clinical appearance in common
diseases
(常见疾病中的临床表现)
• Acute infection or exasperation of chronic infectious illness
•Neoplasms:insidiously initiation
•Pleural disease
•Cardiovascular diseases
•General disease affecting the respiratory system
Accompanied symptoms
(伴随症状)
Fever
Chest
pain
Dyspnea & wheezing
Sputum production
Complication(并发症)
Cough syncope syndroma
Fatigue
Fractures due to severe persistent
cough
Pneumomediastinum,
pneumothorax, and subcutaneous
emphysema due to high
intrathoracic pressure during cough.
Chronic cough(>3weeks):
postualnasal drip syndroma(鼻后滴漏综
合征)
cough type asthma
smoker
Post URW infection
GERD
Sputum expecteration
(咳痰)
Denote airway secretions being
coughed out .
Characters:
mucoid, tenasious,
purulent, blood stained, with
special odor, rusty, serous
Volume:
Accompanied manifestation
Special conditions
Laboratory examination
Rutine
Microbiologic
test ( including culture &
drug sensitivity)
Cellular
Hemoptysis (咯血)
Blood originate below the level of the
larynx that being coughed out. Usually
bright red
Degrees: from blood-tinged sputum to
massive gross blood,even leading to
airway occlusion (apnea ) & shock. The
latter is much less seen.
Common causes (常见原因)
Infectious respiratory disease:
bronchitis, bronchiectasis, TB
Neoplasm:
Cardiovascular disease: MS, PE,
PAH, deformity of blood vessels
Other less seen disease leading to
hemoptysis:CTDs & hemologic
disorders.
Classification (分级)
Small
amount
Moderate
Massive
(>600ml/24hrs)
Differentiating from hematemesis
hemoptysis
hematemesis
Coughed up with frothy Vomited without frothy
Preceded by cough
Bright red
alkaline
Preceded nausea, vomiting
Dark red or brown
acid
History of coughing
Blood-tinged sputum
Mixed with sputum
materials
Hist. of gastric, liver disease
No blood-tinged sputum
Mixed with food particles
Anemia variable
Blood loss common
Differentiating from upper
airway bleeding by intenssive
investigation and examination
Post nasal bleeding
Mouth and farynxil membrane bleeding
Investigation
whether coughed out or
vomitted out
Volume: how much
Time duration
Any accompanied appearances
Chest pain (胸痛)
