Transcript Cough

SYMPTOMS of CHYEST
DISORDERS
(胸部疾病的症状)
 Zhengcuixia
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)
 Character
 Degree
(性质)
(强度)
 Location
(部位)
 Reflection
(牵涉痛)
Common causes
Cardiovascular & pulmonary vascular
(iscamic)
 Pleural
 Chest wall
 Emanating pains of neighboring
abnormalities

Cardiovascular (心血管)
Location blured press like discomfort
 Eradiation
 Cardiavascular & pulmonary vascular


Angina, MI, aortic stenosis (ischemic),

Myocarditis, pericarditis, (inflamation)
Pleorial (胸膜疾病)

Pleoritis
Chest wall (胸壁疾病):
Injury
Inflamation
Costal
Neuritis
Other diseases causing chest pain

Acute abdominal syndroms
