PNEUMONIA
 A severe inflammation of the lungs in which
the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are filled with
fluid. This may cause a decrease in the
amount of oxygen that blood can absorb
from air breathed into the lung.
4/1/2015 infectious 2
Causes and Risk factor
4/1/2015 infectious 3
• Bacterial
(Staphylococcus aureus ,
streptococcus,
hemophilus influenza,
pseudomonas)
• Viral
• Fungi
• head injury or
general anesthesia
• Exposure to
chemicals
• Tracheal intubation
• Immuno-
suppression(AIDS)
• Bedridden, paralyzed,
or unconscious
• Chronic diseases (diabetes
& heart failure)
• Chronic
obstructive
pulmonary disease.
• Very young and
very old
4/1/2015 infectious 4
Pathophysiology
Pathogen and harmfull bacteria enter into the
lower respiratory tract
Inflammatory reaction occurs in the alveoli and
produces an exudates that interfere the gas exchange
mechanism
The lungs are not adequately ventilated because
of secretion and mucosal edema
Hypoventilation
Arterial hypoxemia

• Community-Acquired Pneumonia
(CAP):
• Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia.(HAP)
• Aspiration Pneumonia(AP)
• Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)
Community-acquired
pneumonia
It occurs outside of hospitals and other
health care facilities, and may be caused
by:
Bacteria, such as Streptococcus
pneumoniae. This type of pneumonia
often affects one area (lobe) of the lung, a
condition called lobar pneumonia.
Cont, …
Bacteria-like organisms
Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which typically
produce milder signs and symptoms than
do other types of pneumonia. "Walking
pneumonia," a term used to describe
pneumonia that isn't severe enough to
require bed rest, may result from
mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Cont,…
⚫Viruses, same type of viruses that cause
colds and flu. Viruses are the most
common cause of pneumonia in
children younger than 2 years.
⚫Fungi, This type of pneumonia is
most common in people with an
underlying health problem or
weakened immune system
Hospital-acquired pneumonia
⚫Hospital-acquired pneumonia is
bacterial infection that occurs in people,
hospitalized for another condition.
Hospital-acquired pneumonia can be
serious because the bacteria causing it
may be more resistant to antibiotics.
⚫People who are on a breathing machine
(ventilator), often used in intensive
care units, are at higher risk of this
type of pneumonia
Aspiration pneumonia
Aspiration pneumonia occurs due to
inhale food, drink, vomit or saliva into
the lungs. This aspiration may happen
when normal gag reflex disturbed in
certain condition such as brain injury,
swallowing problem, or excessive use of
alcohol or drugs.
Diagnostic Evaluation
4/1/2015 infectious 17
• Medical history
• Physical Examination
• Chest X-ray
• CBC /ABGs
• Culture of Sputum.
Treatment
4/1/2015 infectious 18
Pneumonia treatments depend on the type of pneumonia and
the severity of symptoms. Bacterial pneumonias are usually
treated with antibiotics, whereas viral pneumonias are
treated with rest and plenty of fluids. Fungal pneumonias
are usually treated with antifungal medications.
Over-the-counter medications are also commonly prescribed
to better manage pneumonia symptoms. These include
treatments for reducing fever, reducing aches and pains, and
suppressing coughs. In addition, it is important to get plenty
of rest and sleep and drink lots of fluids.
Hospitalization for pneumonia may be required if symptoms
are especially bad or a patient has a weakened immune
system or other serious illness. At the hospital, patients
generally are treated with intravenous antibiotics and
possibly put on oxygen.
Preventio
n
There are several ways to prevent pneumonia. There
are two
vaccines that are available to prevent the bacterial
infection.
Prevnar is generally administered as part of the normal
infant immunization procedure and is recommended for
children less than 2 years of age or between two and four
years with certain medical conditions.
⚫ Pneumovax is provided for adults who are at increased risk of
developing pneumococcal pneumonia, such as the elderly,
diabetics, those with chronic heart, lung, or kidney disease,
alcoholics, smokers, and those without a spleen. The pneumonia
vaccine may not completely prevent older adults from getting
pneumonia, but it can reduce the severity of a future pneumonia.
Cont, …
⚫ In addition to vaccinations, physicians
recommend that people wash hands, refrain
from smoking, eat healthfully, exercise, and stay
away from sputum or cough particles from
others with pneumonia.

Assessment:
• History
• Physical
examination
Nursing Diagnosis
4/1/2015 infectious 22
⚫ Ineffective airway clearance related to copious
tracheobronchial secretions.
⚫ Impaired Gas Exchange related to altered oxygen-
carrying capacity of blood
⚫ Activity intolerance relate to Imbalance between
oxygen supply and demand.
⚫ Altered nutrition less than body requirement related
to less intake secondary to continues cough
• Respiratory Isolation
• Promote airway patency
• Maintain hydration
• Perform chest protocol
• Deep breathing

• Chest Physiotherapy
• Use of spirometer

• Postural drainage techniques
• Follow care Complications
Postural
Drainage
Definition
s
• Postural drainage is a technique in which
different positions are assumed to
facilitate the drainage of secretions
from the bronchial airways.
• Gravity helps to move the secretions to
the trachea to be coughed up easily.
• The goal of postural drainage and manual
therapy is to help drain mucus from
each of these lobes into the larger
airways of the lungs so it can be
coughed up more readily.
