3 common pathogens that cause pneumonia.
What is bacteria, viruses, and fungi?
I develop more than 48-72 hours after endotracheal intubation.
What is ventilator-associated pneumonia?
My temperature can be less than 101 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is viral pneumonia?
I am used to prevent atelectasis.
What is Lung Expansion?
I have no clinical significance but I am often used to describe my mild symptoms and ambulation.
What is walking pneumonia?
I have slightly different symptoms, I appear different on chest x-rays, and respond different to antibiotics.
What is atypical pneumonia?
After RSV, I am the second most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children.
What is Human Metapneumovirus.
I appear on a chest x-ray as a circular radiolucency that contains an air-fluid level surrounded by a dense wall of lung parenchyma.
What is a Lung Abscess?
I am used to mobilize excessive bronchial secretions?
What is Airway Clearance Therapy/Bronchpulmonary Hygiene?
I am characterized by the presence of RBC, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, cellular debris, and an increase of invading pathogens.
What is Stage 2?
I infect almost all children by their second birthday.
What is RSV?
We are the most definitive for identification of the particular phase of the swallow that is dysfunctional.
What is The Modified Barium Swallow and Cine-Video Fluoroscopy?
As fluid crosses into the alveoli, I also move into the alveoli and produce blood-streaked or rusty appearance of the fluid.
What is RBC?
I can be used to encourage lung re-expansion when atelectasis is part of the clinical presentation.
What is Thoracentesis?
I am widespread or diffuse alveolar inflammation and my consolidation is confined to one or more lobes of the lung.
What is Lobar Pneumonia?
I account for more than 80% of all bacterial pneumonias.
What is Streptococcus Pneumoniae?
My clinical manifestations are strikingly similar to Tuberculosis.
What is Histoplasmosis?
I can also be seen on the CT scan.
What is alveolar consolidation and air bronchograms?
I am the alternative used to treat a lung abscess caused by MRSA.
What is Vancomycin?
Aspiration of me causes a serious and fatal form of pneumonia.
What is gastric fluid with a pH of 7.25 or less?
I carry the risk for development of a secondary bacterial pneumonia.
What is Viral Pneumonia?
I killed around 1 million people globally, and 100,000 in the US.
What is the Hong Kong Flu (H3N2)?
I will annoy people with this symptom due to my secretions not being able to reach my larger bronchi.
What is bed rest and plenty of fluids?
I am often seen in patients with HIV and patients undergoing steroid therapy.
What is Cryptococcus Neoformans?
