Pneumonia - Coggle Diagram
Pneumonia
Acute Lung Injury ALI
-
-
Characterised by sudden damage to the lung tissue, leading to inflammation and increased permeability of the alveolar-capillary memebrane
-
-
Complications
-
Collection of pus walled off by chronic inflammation, granulation and fibrous tissue
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Types
Post- inflammatory
Complication of pneumonia
Post-obstructive
Distal to tumour
Congenital / hereditary conditions
Systic fibrosis
-
Location
-
Affects basal segments of lower lobes, right middle molbe and lingual
-
-
-
-
- Bacteraemic dissemination to other organs
Metastatic abcesses
-
-
-
-
Classification
-
Lobar Pneumonia
-
-
-
-
Stages
-
- Red Hepatization (Liver Like)
-
-
-
-
Bronchopneumonia
Patchy consolidation, usually extension of pre-existing bronchitis / bronchiolitis
-
- Insidious onset
- Infacts, debilitated, elderly, pot-op
- Lower lobes- larger and more numerous foci
- Gross appearrance of lung : Pale area raised above the surface surrounding the lung
- Recovery - liquifaction or by fibrosis
- Nature of Inflammatory Reactions
-
Alveolar spaces filled with neutrophils
Granulation tissue in bronchioles and alveoli
-
-
-
Foamy macrophages

Impaired Defences
Local Factors
- Loss / impairement of cough reflex
-
- Impaired mucocilirary elevator
-
- Impaired function of alveolar macrophages
-
- Accumlated / stagnant secretions
-
-
Systemic Factors
-
-
-
- Iatrogenic - immunosuppressive therapy
