Prognosis/ rehabilitation phase INTRODUCTION The main function of the respiratory system is to move air into the lungs so that oxygen can enter the body and carbon dioxide can be inhaled. Several pulmonary disorders can affect the airways. Their pathophysiology differs but these diseases are characterized by limited airflow. Airflow is limited when air walls are thickened, airway lumen is obstructed by secretions, increasing resistance, and smooth muscle of the airways is activated, causing bronchoconstriction. Limited airflow increases the work of breathing and residual volume of the lungs as air is trapped behind narrowed or collapsed airways. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disorder that causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough, especially at night or in the early morning. These asthma episodes are associated with airflow limitation or obstruction that is reversible either spontaneously or with treatment. Bronchial asthma is usually intrinsic (no cause can be demonstrated), but is occasionally caused by a specific allergy (such as allergy to mold, dander, dust). This case study is a thorough learning about Bronchial Asthma, which contains a study about the normal physiology of the respiratory system, pathological physiology of the disease, a thorough assessment of the patient with said illness, applied nursing care plans to patients having this kind or disease. (http://www.scribd.com/doc/27330007/BRONCHIAL-ASTHMA-) Concerning Bronchial Asthma as one of the disorders of respiratory system. We had decided to make it as the center of our case study for the first shifting. Through the help of Andagao RHU Nurses.We had able to come up with an interview to a 52 year old male of Andagao, Kalibo, Aklan with the diagnosis of Bronchial Asthma in Acute Exacerbation. Conditions affecting the lower respiratory tract like Bronchial Asthma are serious and often life threatening if proper interventions are not yet addressed. The patient requires care from nurses with the accurate assessment and clinical management skills as well as an understanding of the impact of the disorder on the patient’s quality of life and ability to carry out usual activities of daily living. Therefore, nurses must have an adequate knowledge and skills regarding the pathophysiology of the disease/ illnesses of the patient to ease their pain, to implement effective breathing strategies and to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies, regardless of any setting.
