RESPIRATORY DISTRESS IN THE PEDIATRIC PATIENT: ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND BREATH SOUNDS

The immature respiratory system is very different from that of an adult. Respiratory pathologies are one of the major problems affecting the health and well being of children. These issues can be due to infection, allergy, trauma, or congenital anomalies. Whatever the cause, if distress is not promptly identified and treated, respiratory failure and even cardiopulmonary arrest can follow.

After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
  • Describe the differences between an immature respiratory system and an adult's
  • Identify normal pediatric breath sounds
  • Identify adventitious pediatric breath sounds and their possible causes

    RESPIRATORY DISTRESS IN THE PEDIATRIC PATIENT: ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION

    Respiratory pathologies due to infection, allergy, trauma, or congenital anomalies are one of the major problems affecting the health and well being of children. Signs of distress must be recognized and assessed promptly. If distress is not promptly identified and interventions begun, respiratory failure and even cardiopulmonary arrest can follow.

    After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
  • List important signs of pediatric respiratory distress
  • List the components of a pediatric respiratory assessment
  • Identify the differences in signs between mild respiratory distress and moderate to acute respiratory distress
  • Identify red flags that can indicate acute pediatric distress

    SARS UPDATE: PREPARING FOR A POSSIBLE OUTBREAK IN THE UNITED STATES

    By Michael R. Grey, MD, MPH

    In this program, Dr. Michael Grey discusses steps that practitioners can take to prepare for and deal with a potential outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Dr. Grey summarizes the epidemiology and pathogenesis of SARS, and he discusses the differential diagnosis of this potentially fatal infectious disease within the context of two hypothetical cases. In the first, a patient presents with an atypical and rapidly progressing pneumonia of unknown origin; the patient is a strong candidate for SARS based on his risk factors (he has recently traveled to a SARS-endemic region of the world) and his clinical presentation. Conversely, in the second case, a patient with an upper respiratory infection is not a likely candidate for SARS because she lacks key elements of the typical SARS patient history and clinical presentation. Yet SARS must also be considered in her differential diagnosis. Laboratory and imaging tests to identify the SARS coronavirus are summarized. Dr. Grey discusses the importance of expediting sputum samples to a local health department or directly to the CDC. He reviews isolation and quarantine procedures that will be necessary if a SARS outbreak occurs, and he addresses palliative care for SARS patients. This telecourse also emphasizes the key role that general practitioners can play in calming patient apprehension about the onset of "normal" flu-like symptoms that are not symptoms of SARS. Viewers are informed about CDC and WHO Web sites that provide SARS updates.

    SARS: A GUIDE TO PREVENTION

    Servere Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a virulent pneumonia-like illness that made a sudden appearance in February 2003, originating in southern China. Air travel and global business have spread handfuls of cases throughout the world, and the disease, caused by a newly emerged coronavirus, has the potential to create a global pandemic. The disease does not respond to any current medications, and so far the mortality rate is approximately 6%. Yet SARS is just one of several emerging diseases that threaten the United States. Some others are West Nile emcephalitis, E. coli O157H7, cryptosporidiosis (crypto), coccidioidomycosis, vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infections (VRE), various influenza strains, and hantavirus, plus multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. It is essential for healthcare professionals and the public to work together to combat the spread of these emerging diseases.

    TUBERCULOSIS IN THE WORKPLACE AND IN THE COMMUNITY

    By Lee B. Reichman, MD, MPH

    Although tuberculosis (TB) rates in the United States are at historic lows, TB still occurs each year in health care institutions, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, schools, industrial sites, prisons, and other community settings. This program discusses the role of the primary care physician in the early detection and prompt treatment of TB in the community. It focuses on the non-HIV patient with active TB. Epidemiology, risk factors, symptoms, and transmission of TB are reviewed. Special attention is given to the diagnosis of active TB in foreign-born and native-born individuals who are at high risk for TB. Treatments for active and latent TB are summarized. Reliance upon directly observed therapy is stressed, as is the need for ongoing communication among general practitioners and local public health officials, especially in communities where the risk of TB is high. This telecourse is based at the New Jersey Medical School National Tuberculosis Center, one of the foremost TB clinics in the nation.

    ASTHMA IN CHILDREN

    By Beverley J. Sheares, MD

    Asthma in childhood is on the "top 10" list of reasons for ambulatory visits to primary care physicians every year. It is particularly problematic among urban populations and families of low socioeconomic status. Childhood asthma poses unique diagnostic and management challenges for pediatricians, family physicians, and in fact all clinicians who deal with young patients. It has often been said, however, that the pediatric patient is not just a small adult. Beverley J. Sheares, MD, of the Children's Hospital of New York¡XPresbyterian and the Pediatric Pulmonary Division at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, explains just what the critical differences are between adult and pediatric patients with asthma. In addition, she outlines her "fast track" approach to recognizing this chronic respiratory disease and controlling both its symptoms and the underlying inflammation that defines the disease process. Columbia-Presbyterian has long been in the forefront of community-based asthma care. To maximize the practical value of this educational program, Dr. Sheares, who includes the improvement of the health education skills of physicians and the self-regulation skills of families of children with asthma among her professional interests, explains how to get the most from the patient interview and the history when making the diagnosis, how to avoid common pitfalls in the physical examination, and why the chest X-ray film is both important and potentially misleading. She then outlines the pros and cons of the important classes of asthma medications in the context of childhood asthma and describes how she enlists the child and the family in a partnership to ensure long-term control of asthma

    DIAGNOSING & MANAGING CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

    By Jonathon Dean Truwit, MD

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 16 million people suffering from its effects. It is the only major disease that continues to increase in prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. The early stages of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which constitute COPD, are frequently undiagnosed in the primary care setting; this underscores the need for additional emphasis on spirometry and other diagnostic screening to detect these disorders before lung damage becomes irreversible. Pulmonologist Jonathon Dean Truwit, MD, uses the context of patient cases to explore the latest approaches to the diagnosis and management of COPD, including a discussion of the pros and cons of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and lung transplantation

    COMMUNITY ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA

    By Rodger J Pomerantz, MD, FACP

    Pneumonia, once known as the "old man's friend" for its effectiveness in easing the aged and infirmed into the life beyond, is still the most deadly infectious disease in the United States. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the cause of death in over 80,000 people a year in the United States -- with an annual attributable cost of over $8 billion dollars. In this program, Dr. Pomerantz provides an update on pneumonia -- the causative pathogens, the risk factors for developing it, and the associated therapies

    TUBERCULOSIS - RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

    Tuberculosis - Respiratory Protection - For much of the 20th century, tuberculosis was a major public health concern. TB sanatoriums could be found in many major cities and a generation of researchers worked to eradicate this highly contagious, highly debilitating, and potentially fatal disease. Their efforts paid off. Effective drug interventions were developed and the medical community gained a valuable insight into the mechanics of TB infection and transmission. The number of TB cases in the US began to decline at a rapid pace. With good reason, many believed that the war against tuberculosis was over, won at last. But more recently, the incidents of TB actually showed an increase reversing this decade-long trend.

    Topics included in this safety video are: today's tuberculosis reality, respiratory protection, and fit testing.
