Pathological Point Of View -

Pneumonia Is An Inflammatory Condition Of The Lung Affecting Primarily The Microscopic Air Sacs Known As Alveoli.

Causes :- 

• Bacteria.

• Viruses.

• Fungi.

• Parasites.

• Idiopathic

Mechanisms :-

Pneumonia Frequently Starts As An Upper Respiratory Tract Infection That Moves Into The Lower Respiratory Tract.

• Viral :-

Viruses May Reach The Lung By A Number Of Different Routes.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Is Typically Contracted When People Touch Contaminated Objects And Then They Touch Their Eyes Or Nose.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Other Viral Infections Occur When Contaminated Airborne Droplets Are Inhaled Through The Mouth Or Nose.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Once In The Upper Airway, The Viruses May Make Their Way In The Lungs, Where They Invade The Cells Lining The Airways, Alveoli, Or Lung Parenchyma.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Some Viruses Such As Measles And Herpes Simplex May Reach The Lungs Via The Blood.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

The Invasion Of The Lungs May Lead To Varying Degrees Of Cell Death.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

When The Immune System Responds To The Infection, Even More Lung Damage May Occur.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Primarily White Blood Cells, Mainly Mono Nuclear Cells, Generate The Inflammation.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

As Well As Damaging The Lungs, Many Viruses Simultaneously Affect Other Organs And Thus Disrupt Other Body Functions.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Viruses Also Make The Body More Susceptible To Bacterial Infections; In This Way, Bacterial Pneumonia Can Arise As A Co-Morbid Condition.

• Bacterial :-

Most Bacteria Enter The Lungs Via Small Aspirations Of Organisms Residing In The Throat Or Nose.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Half Of Normal People Have These Small Aspirations During Sleep.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

While The Throat Always Contains Bacteria, Potentially Infectious Ones Reside There Only At Certain Times And Under Certain Conditions.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

A Minority Of Types Of Bacteria Such As Mycobacterium Tuberculosis And Legionella Pneumophila Reach The Lungs Via Contaminated Airborne Droplets.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Bacteria Can Spread Also Via The Blood.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

Once In The Lungs, Bacteria May Invade The Spaces Between Cells And Between Alveoli, Where The Macrophages And Neutrophils (Defensive White Blood Cells) Attempt To Inactivate The Bacteria.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

The Neutrophils Also Release Cytokines, Causing A General Activation Of The Immune System.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

This Leads To The Fever, Chills, And Fatigue Common In Bacterial Pneumonia.

                                                               |

                                                              \/

The Neutrophils, Bacteria, And Fluid From Surrounding Blood Vessels Fill The Alveoli, Resulting In The Consolidation Seen On Chest X-ray.

CYANOSIS

Dictionary Meaning -
(according to Dorland's pocket medical Dictionary)

 A Bluish Discolouration Of Skin And Mucous Membranes Due To Excessive Concentration Of Reduced Haemoglobin In The Blood.

Central Cyanosis - That Due To Arterial Unsaturation, The Aortic Blood Carrying Reduced Haemoglobin.

Enterogenous Cyanosis - A Syndrome Due To Absorption Of Nitrites And Sulphides From The Intestine, Marked Primarily By Methemoglobinemia And/Or Sulfhemoglobinemia With Cyanosis, As Well As Severe Enteritis, Constipation Or Diarrhoea, Headache, Dyspnea, Dizziness, Syncope, And Anaemia.

Peripheral Cyanosis - That Due To An Excessive Amount Of Reduced Haemoglobin In The Venous Blood As A Result Of Extensive Oxygen Extraction At The Capillary Level.

Pulmonary Cyanosis - Central Cyanosis Due To Poor Oxygenation Of The Blood In The Lungs.

Cyanosis Re'tinae - Cyanosis Of The Retina, Observable In Certain Congenital Cardiac Defects.

Shunt Cyanosis - Central Cyanosis Due To The Mixing Of Unoxygenated Blood With Arterial Blood In The Heart Or Great Vessels.

Pathological Point Of View -

Cyanosis Is The Appearance Of A Blue Or Purple Colouration Of The Skin Or Mucous Membranes Due To The Tissues Near The Skin Surface Having Low Oxygen Saturation.

 Types -

• Central Cyanosis :- Central Cyanosis Is Often Due To A Circulatory Or Ventilatory Problem That Leads To Poor Blood Oxygenation In The Lungs. It Develops When Arterial Oxygen Saturation Drops To ≤85% Or ≤75%.

• Peripheral Cyanosis :- Peripheral Cyanosis Is The Blue Tint In Fingers Or Extremities, Due To Inadequate Circulation. The Blood Reaching The Extremities Is Not Oxygen Rich And When Viewed Through The Skin A Combination Of Factors Can Lead To The Appearance Of A Blue Colour.

• Differential Cyanosis :- Differential Cyanosis Is The Bluish Colouration Of The Lower But Not The Upper Extremity And The Head. This Is Seen In Patients With A Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Patients With A Large Ductus Develop Progressive Pulmonary Vascular Disease, And Pressure Overload Of The Right Ventricle Occurs. As Soon As Pulmonary Pressure Exceeds Aortic Pressure, Shunt Reversal (Right-To-Left Shunt) Occurs. The Upper Extremity Remains Pink Because The Brachiocephalic Trunk, Left Common Carotid Trunk And The Left Subclavian Trunk Is Given Off Proximal To The PDA.

Causes -

Central Cyanosis :- 

1. Central Nervous System ( Impairing Normal Ventilation ):

• Intra-Cranial Haemorrhage
• Drug Overdose (e.g. Heroin)
• Tonic–Clonic Seizure (e.g. Grand Mal Seizure)

2. Respiratory System:

• Pneumonia
• Bronchiolitis
• Bronchospasm (e.g. Asthma)
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Pulmonary Embolism
• Hypoventilation
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD ( Emphysema )

3. Cardiovascular Diseases:

• Congenital Heart Disease (e.g. Tetralogy Of Fallot, Right To Left Shunts In Heart Or Great Vessels) 

• Heart Failure 

• Valvular Heart Disease 

• Myocardial Infarction

4. Blood:

• Methemoglobinemia * Note This Causes "Spurious" Cyanosis, In That, Since Methemoglobin Appears Blue, The Patient Can Appear Cyanosed Even In The Presence Of A Normal Arterial Oxygen Level.
• Polycythaemia
• Congenital Cyanosis (HbM Boston) Arises From A Mutation In The α-Codon Which Results In A Change Of Primary Sequence, H → Y. Tyrosine Stabilises The Fe(III) Form (oxyhaemoglobin) Creating A Permanent T-State Of Hb.

5. Others:

• High Altitude, Cyanosis May Develop In Ascents To Altitudes >2400 m.
• Hypothermia
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Peripheral Cyanosis :-

• All Common Causes Of Central Cyanosis
• Reduced Cardiac Output (e.g. Heart Failure, Hypovolaemia)
• Cold Exposure
• Arterial Obstruction (e.g. Peripheral Vascular Disease, Raynaud Phenomenon)
• Venous Obstruction (e.g. Deep Vein Thrombosis)

 For More Details :-

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanosis

Examination Of The Patient Having A Cyanosis :-



Management Of Cyanosis :-

• Warming The Affected Area ; Gentle Warming Of Fingers And Nerves By Rubbing Them.

• Oxygenation As A Treatment For Cyanosis ; Initial Stabilisation Requires Oxygenation, Sometimes Breathing Machine Or Ventilator Might Be Required.

• Intravenous Fluids ; Children Who Have Difficulty In Feeding Due To Cyanosis And Heart Disease, Need To Administered I.V. Fluids.

• Surgery As A Treatment Of Cyanosis - Treatment Of Cyanosis Due To Congenital Heart Defects May Often Involve Surgery.

SYNCOPE

Dictionary Meaning -
(according to Dorland's pocket medical Dictionary)

A Faint, Temporary Loss Of Consciousness Due To Generalised Cerebral Ischemia.

Cardiac Syncope -  Sudden Loss Of Consciousness, With Momentary Premonitory Symptoms Or Without Warning, Due To Cerebral Anaemia Caused By Obstructions To Cardiac Output Or Arrhythmias Such As Ventricular Asystole, Extreme Bradycardia, Or Ventricular Fibrillation.

Carotid Sinus Syncope - See Under Syndrome >> Carotid Sinus Syndrome - Syncope Sometime Associated With Convulsions Due To Over-Activity Of The Carotid Sinus Reflex When Pressure Is Applied To One Or Both Carotid Sinuses.

Convulsive Syncope - Syncope With Convulsive Movements That Are Milder Than Those Seen In Epilepsy.

Laryngeal Syncope - Tussive Syncope.

Stretching Syncope - Syncope Associated With Stretching The Arms Upward With The Spine Extended.

Swallow Syncope - Syncope Associated With Swallowing, A Disorder Of Atrioventricular Conduction Mediated By The Vagus Nerve.

Tussive Syncope - Brief Loss Of Consciousness Associated With Paroxysms Of Coughing.

Vasovegal Syncope - A Transient Vascular And Neuralgic Reaction Marked By Pallor, Nausea, Sweating, Bradycardia, And Rapid Fall In Arterial Blood Pressure, Which May Result In Syncope.

Pathological Point Of View -

Syncope, The Medical Term For Fainting Or Passing Out, Is Defined As A Transient Loss Of Consciousness And Postural Tone, Characterized By Rapid Onset, Short Duration, And Spontaneous Recovery, Due To Global Cerebral Hypo-Perfusion (Low Blood Flow To The Brain) That Most Often Results From Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure). 

• This Definition Of Syncope Differs From Others By Including The Cause Of Unconsciousness, i.e. Transient Global Cerebral Hypo-Perfusion.

• Without That Addition, The Definition Of Syncope Would Include Disorders Such As Epileptic Seizures, Concussion Or Cerebrovascular Accident.

• Syncope Is Distinguished From Coma, Which Can Include Persistent States Of Unconsciousness. This Confusion Still Occurs In Some Literature.

 Types -

• Vasovagal Syncope

• Situational Syncope

• Postural Syncope

• Cardiac Syncope

• Neurologic Syncope  

• Stretch Syncope 

For More Details :-

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncope_(medicine)

Causes -

Signs & Symptoms -

Many Forms Of Syncope Are Preceded By A Prodromal State That Often Includes

• Dizziness And Loss Of Vision ("Blackout") (Temporary), 

• Loss Of Hearing (Temporary), 

• Loss Of Pain And Feeling (Temporary), 

• Nausea And Abdominal Discomfort, 

• Weakness, 

• Sweating, 

• A Feeling Of Heat, 

• Palpitations And Other Phenomena, Which, If They Do Not Progress To Loss Of Consciousness And Postural Tone Are Often Denoted "Pre-Syncope".

• If Chest Pain / Sweating / Low Volume Pulse,

              - IV 5% Dextrose

    - Inj. Efcorlin 1 Vial IV. S.O.S. 

    - Refer To Hospital Or Cardiologist For ECG.

• If He Has Black Loose Stools & Pallor - ? GI Bleeding. Refer Immediately. 

• If Slurring Of Speech Or Weakness Of One Side - ? Stroke.

Subsequent Treatment Of Simple Syncope :-

• Liver Extract. 

• Calcium.

If  No Response, Ask For Investigations ;-

• Hb 

• ECG 

• X-ray Cervical Spine 

• X-ray Chest

In Specific Circumstances,

• Think For Cough Syncope, Micturation Syncope, & Hypersensitive Carotid Sinus.

Some Points To Be Kept In Our Mind While Handling The Case Of Syncope :- 

• If Taking Treatment For Hypertension - Reduce The Dose, Or If Necessary Change The Drug. Do Not Give Steroids. 

• After Giving Injections That Cause Sedation, Like Squil, Avil, Or Calmpose; Do Not Allow A Patient To Walk Home Alone - He May Faint & Fall In The Way.
