Презентация на тему Pneumonia in children. Diagnostics and treatment

pathogenesis
4. Classification of pneumonia
5. Pneumonia treatment

inflammatory diseases varied in etiology, pathogenesis and morphologic characteristic

with predominant involvement in pathologic process of respiratory tract with invariable presence of alveolar inflammatory exudate.

and big bronchi are short and wide – easy

penetration of infection
Little bronchi and bronchioli are narrow and are deficient in connective and muscular tissue – they are easily collapsed and obstructed
Inadequate drainage of several segments due to peculiarities of bronchial branching – frequent involvement of I, II, IX, X, VI segments bilateral and of IV, V segments of left lung
Lack of elastic fibers and surfactant –lung rigidity, inclination to atelectasis and emphysema development
Insufficient mucocilliar clearance – difficulties in foreign bodies removing
Insufficient synthesis of interferon and IgA – incompatibility immune response
Plethoric lung parenchima, rich in interstitial vascularization; in perinatal period is collapsed

pathology: prenatal hypoxia, asphyxia, intrapartum trauma
Vomiting and regurgitation syndrome
Artificial

feeding
Constitution anomalies
Rickets
Malnutrition
Congenital heart diseases
Cystic fibrosis
Congenital lung malformations
Surgical treatment
Inherited immunodeficiencies
Hypovitaminosis
Chronic focuses of infection
Smoking

acquired pneumonia
Hemophilus influenzae
Moraxella Catarrhalis
In newborns and infants – Staphylococcus,

gram (-) microflora
Mycoplasma pneumonia, Chlamidia psittaci, Chl.pneumonia (10-12%).
Severe pneumonia are caused by mixed micriflora
Pneumocystis pneumonia can develop only in immune compromised host (deep prematurity, combined immunodefficiancy, AIDS, imunosuppression)
Viral pneumonia is rare disease. It can be caused by flu, (hemorrhagic pneumonia,), in bronchiolitis, adenoviral and RS viral infection

groups
pathogenic
provisional pathogenic
nonpathogenic

cell receptors in respiratory tract. It gives them opportunity

to adhere and multiply on mucus membrane of respiratory tract. They are Pneumococcus, Hemophylus influenza, Legionella, Mycoplasma, Ricketsia, Mycobacterium tuberculosis etc. Provisional pathogenic are microorganisms that have no receptors and can’t be fixed on epithelium. Protective mechanisms can easily eliminate them. Only impairment of these mechanisms lead for their penetration, spreading and multiplying ( ARD, overcooling, immune suppression etc) Nonpathogenic microbes –microorganisms that can cause inflammation only in cases of severe degree of immunodeficiency. They are aerobe and anaerobe saprophytes from upper respiratory tract.

is developed in 48 hours after hospitalization and 48

h after discharging from hospital
Bacterial intoxication symptoms
Clinical:
Fever more than 3 days
Tachycardia
Paleness, regurgitation
Lab data:
Neutrophyl leukocytosis
Elevated ESR
Functional respiratory disturbancies
Increased respiratory rate more than 20% from age norma
Accessory musculature involving in respiration
Cough or its equivalents
Cyanosis ( perioral, periorbital, diffuse)
Local symptoms in pneumonia:
Percussion sound shortening ( dullness)
Breathing sound conductivity changes (attenuation, rales)
Radiologic confirmation

bronchi – bronchopneumonia
Frequently developed after ARD
Cough is deep and

moist
Intoxication
Respiratory failure can be present
Percussion pulmonary clear sound or even with resonance sound but under the focus shortening of the sound
Auscultation: focal bubbling rales, focal crepitation
If accompanied by bronchitis – bilateral dry and moist rales
Radiologic picture presence of interstitial involvement with focal infiltration of 1,5 cm in diameter
More younger the child more frequently affected upper lobes

lobe with focal pulmonary destruction. Intoxication is prominent, massive

lung tissue involvement, usually pleurisy.
As a rule ARD precedes with progressive course with involvement of bronchi.
Radiologic peculiarities
Infiltrative shadows are not homogeneous
Process usually is unilateral more frequently in right lung
At affected side intercostal and lobe pleura reaction is present
Reaction of lymphnodes is absent as a rule

rales are not typical or they disappear very quickly.
There

are 3 types of course:
With good prognosis, without symptoms
Course is like in croupous pneumonia – sudden onset with fever and cyclic course. Pains in abdomen and chest
Clinical picture like in focal pneumonia, but auscultative data are vague, percussion isn’t clear. Frequent pleuricy, atelectasis
Inclination for abscess formation, destruction, lingering course
X-ray signs: more frequent localization in 1,3 segments of right and 8, 9, 10 segments of both lungs, in 5,4 segments of left lung
Process is unilateral as a rule
Regional lymph nodes are increased on affected side
Pleural ( costal or interlobular) reaction is visible
Duration of pneumonia 10-12 days
More frequent complications : atelectasis, pleuritis, destruction

interstitium and less manifested affection of broncho alveolar structures
Paleness

is typical
Pertussis –like cough
Tympanic resonance during percussion
Respiratory sound is rough, irregular dry and various moist bubbling rales
Prominent respiratory failure
Pathogen can’t be revealed in common way
More frequent causative factors are fungus, Pneumocystis, Chlamidia, Mycoplasma, Ricketsia, Legionellas

is lobe
or segment affection with pleura involvement (pleuropneumonia).

It’s difficult to differ it from segmental pneumonia only
radiologically. Clinical picture plays the clue role
Acute onset
Cyclic course
Febrile or high febrile fever, flush red on affected side
Sputum is rusty, herpes labialis and nasalis
Lung destruction is very rare
Localization in lower lobes
Chest pain due to pleuritis
Abdomen pain like in appendicitis
Meningeal form of pneumonia

blood composition due to lung function failure or when

maintaining of proper partial O2 and CO2 containing is achieved by forcing of external respiratory structures that produce functional exhaustion of organism.

loading, in rest dyspnea is absent. Accessory musculature
isn’t

involved, irregular perioral cyanosis more visible after agitation. BP is
normal. HR ratio to RR=3,5-2,5 : 1`, tachycardia. Blood gases composition: PaCO2 <4,67 Kpa : Pa O2=8,76-10 kPa
Grade II
Dyspnea in rest, accessory musculature involvement, retractions in chest,
constant acrocyanosis, BP is elevated, tachycardia, flaccidity, drowsiness,
adynamia. HR ratio RR = 2-1,5 : 1: PaO2= 7,33-8,53 kPa: PaCO2 = 4,67-5,87 kPa
Grade III
Manifested dyspnea ( more than 50% from N). Bradypnoe and dyspnoe,
generalized cyanosis, paleness, marmour discoloration of skin.
Somnolence, muscular hypotonia, convulsions, coma. BP decreased HR
ratio RR is intermittent. Pa O2< 5,33 kPa, PaCO2> 9,87 kPa

and integrated
Etiotropic therapy directed for eradication of pathogen
Treatment

of pathologic syndromes, complications and co-morbidities
Rational rehabilitation process

therapy, manifested intoxication
Dehydration, impossibility of oral drinking
Unfavourable premorbid condition,

immune deficiency, developmental anomalies
Suspicion as for Staphylococcal etiology, complications like pleuritis. Ineffective home treatment within 24-36 hours
Inability to organize effective home treatment

In children 2-12 mo old

RR> 50/min and for children 12 mo- 5 y.o RR>40/min is threatening.
Retractions of chest lower part
Stridor

present
Clothes must be suitable, surrounding temperature must be optimal
Main

task is normalization of nose passage of air
Sleeping must be organized with raised head part of bed
Parents mustn’t prohibit child to cough
To provide with proper intake of liquids intake by oral or parenteral way
Feeding must be usual for age enriched by vitamins

antibiotic therapy with following its correction
Empiric start antibacterial therapy

is performed depending on expected causative factor

(Aztreonam)
4. Carbapenems (Imipenem, Meropenem)
Aminoglycosides
Fluoroquinolones
Macrolides
Glycopeptides
Nitromidazolines
Tetracyclines
Chloramphenicol
Lyncosamines
Nitrophuranes
Sulfanilamides
Antituberculosis
Antifungal

in community acquired uncomplicated pneumonia
In case of severe course

only parenteral antibiotic administration, combinations of antibiotics
Ineffectiveness of beta-lactams indicate resistant or atypical microorganisms presence
Duration of uncomplicated community acquired pneumonia is 7-10 days. In case of complications duration must be not less than 14 days
In case of parenteral antibiotic administration condition improvement demand change antibiotic administration for oral intake so called step approach
First antibiotic course mustn’t combined with antifungal drugs

is performed in uncomplicated pneumonia 24-48 hours after treatment

beginning. If there are some complications it is performed 48-72 hours later
Main criteria:
Dynamics of common child’s condition
Disappearing of fever
Normalization of respiratory rate and Ps and their ratio
Improving of lab and X-ray data

than 38C 24-48 hours later in uncomplicated pneumonia form

or 72 hours later in complicated pneumonia, improving of condition, appetite, dyspnea reducing
Partly improving- temperature is higher 38C with toxicosis resolving, appetite improving, absence of negative radiologic dynamics
Effect absence – Constant high temperature more than 38 C, condition worsening and/or progressive worsening of lung and pleura changes

If indications are present intravenous infusion is performed to

correct acidic – basic condition, fluid and electrolyte disorders
Symptomatic treatment can include antipyretics etc.
