Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation or swelling of the bronchial
tubes (bronchi), the air passages between the nose
and the lungs.
More specifically, bronchitis is when the lining of the
bronchial tubes becomes inflamed or infected.
Bronchitis is caused by viruses, bacteria, and other
particles that irritate the bronchial tubes. 
Accute bronchitis
Acute bronchitis is a shorter illness that commonly
follows a cold or viral infection, such as the flu
Acute bronchitis usually lasts a few days or weeks
Chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a persistent,
mucus-producing cough on most days of the
month, three months of a year for two successive
years in absence of a secondary cause of the
cough.
Smokers 
 People who are exposed to a lot of secondhand
smoke
 People with weakened immune systems
 The elderly and infants
 People with gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD)
 People who are exposed to air pollution 

Inflammation or swelling of the bronchi
 Coughing
 Production of clear, white, yellow, grey, or green
mucus (sputum)
 Shortness of breath
 Wheezing
 Fatigue
 Fever and chills
 Chest pain or discomfort
 Blocked or runny nose

History collection
 Physical examination
 Chest x- rays
 Sputum cultures
 Pulmonary function test
 Spirometer excercises
 Bronchoscopy



Antibiotics - these are effective for bacterial
infections, but not for viral infections. They may also
prevent secondary infections.



Cough medicine - one must be careful not to
completely suppress the cough, for it is an important
way to bring up mucus and remove irritants from the
lungs.


Bronchodilators - these open the bronchial tubes
and clear out mucus.
Mucolytics - these thin or loosen mucus in the airways,
making it easier to cough up sputum.


Anti-inflammatory medicines and glucocorticoid
steroids - these are for more persistent symptoms.


Pulmonary rehabilitation program - this includes work
with a respiratory therapist to help breathing.
Ineffective breathing pattern related to shortness
breathing ,mucus or broncho constriction.
 Ineffective airway clearence related to broncho
constriction.
 Self care deficit related to fatigue secondary to
increased effort for breathing.
 Activity intolerence due to fatigue and inffective
breathing patterns
