COUGH
Cause of cough
-
Lower respi tract infection (bronchitis, pneumonia ,tuberculosis)
-
-
-
Cardiovascular (left vent. failure ,pulmonary infarction)
-
Tumor (Bronchogenic tumor ,alveolar cell carcinoma)
Drug Treatment
Antitussives
Opioid
(addicting)
Codeine
-
-
-
-
-
Pharmacokinetic
-
-
-
-
Uridine diphosphate glucuranosyl transferase (UDPGT) conjugates codeine, norcodeine and morphine to 3- and 6-glucuronides
Adverse Effect
-
-
Less common : 上瘾,dependence,hype,痒,恶心,呕,嘴巴干,miosis,hypotension,depression
Codeine is metabolised to morphine ,pass through breast milk
-
-
Drug interaction
-
Medication that induce CYP450 (rifampicin, dexamathasone 会增加 conversion rate,有更多morphine
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
MoA
Suppress cough centre in medulla ( both central and peripheral effects),increase threshold
-
Expectorants
-
Help in clearance of mucus from airway ,lung ,bronchi and trachea
-
EXP
Guaifenesin
-
-
MoA: increase volume and decrease viscosity of secretions in trachea, bronchi and stimulate the flow of respiratory tract secretions
-
-
Adverse effect
Nausea ,vomiting ,formation of kidney stone ,diarrhea ,constipation
-
-
-
Drug interaction
-
Increase sedative effect of alcohol ,transquilisers, sleep-pills and total anesthetics
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Mucolytic agents
Dissolve thick mucus and relieve respiratory difficulty various chemical bond within secretions (decrease viscosity)
Oral drug
Acetylcysteine
-
-
Used in asthma ,emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis and respiratory complication after surgery
Side effect: Stomatitis ,nausea, vomit and rhinorhea, bronchospasm
Bromhexine
-
MoA: act at formative stages of mucus formation in gland within mucus secreting cells by disrupting the structure of acid mucopolysaccharide fibers
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Bronchodilators
If cough due to bronchospasm ,B2 agonist are given
-
-
-
Classification of cough
Duration
Acute
less than 3 weeks
Result from cold ,or other upper respi tract infection such as flu ,pneumonia or whooping cough
Subacute
3-8 weeks , usually is residual cough after an illness
-
Characteristic
-
Non-productive
No sputum
Result of residual effects of a viral illness or bacterial infection , bronchospasm, allergies ,med ,exposure of irritant ,asthma ,airway blockage
-
-
-
Cough reflex
4 Phases
-
-
Compression
Closure of glottis combined with contraction of ms of chest wall, diaphragm and abdominal wall
-
-
5 Processes
Stimulation
Mechano or chemoreceptor of pharynx ,trachea ,bronchi and bronchiole
-
-
Efferent impulse
Transfer via parasympathetic motor nerve (vagus, Phrenic and spinal nerves) to diaphragm ,intercostal ms and lung
-
Component
Afferent pathway
Sensory nerve fibers located in ciliated epithelium of upper airway, cardiac and esophagus branches from diaphragm
-
Efferent pathway
From cough center via vagus ,phrenic and spinal motor nerves to diaphragm
-
-
Mucus
Fibrous gel containing mucoprotein ,mucupolysaccharide, protein and fat
Function: Protect lung tissue , warmth and hydrated inhaled air and remove foreign particle
Produced from epithelial globlet cell ,bronchial gland ,serous transudate
Definition
Voluntary or involuntary forceful release of air from lung usually against a closed glottis, ass with characteristic sound
