The lung bronchus is a tertiary bronchi that is divided after the bronchi of the lung lobe enter the hilar, and each side of the lung is generally divided into 10 bronchi.

Pulmonary bronchus

Lung bronchus is the secondary bronchus divided by left and right main lobe according to the left and right main bronchus at the hilum. The left lung has the upper lobe bronchus and the lower lobe bronchi; the right lung has the upper, middle, and lower lobe bronchi. After each leaf bronchus enters the hilum, it is divided into three levels of lung bronchus.

Bronchial bronchial inflammation

The bronchus is a tube that delivers air to the lungs. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a viral infection, especially a cold or flu. Chronic bronchitis is common in the elderly and is exacerbated by smoking and air pollution. The bronchial mucus secretion glands are often coughed and often accompanied by a large amount of sputum. Patients often get breathless and are prone to lung infections. Treatment options include quitting smoking (reduce contact with other irritants) and urgent treatment of lung infections.

Inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, often secondary to upper sensation, can also be one of the clinical manifestations of some acute infectious diseases (measles, pertussis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, etc.). The trachea and bronchi are connected and are often affected at the same time, so they are also called trachea or bronchitis. Causes of the upper sensations can cause bronchitis. Children with malnutrition and rickets are more likely to develop the disease. Onset can be urgent and slow, and most often have symptoms on the first, dry cough, gradually increased secretions, cough with sputum (children mostly snoring). In severe cases, it can heat up to about 39 ° C, even up to 40 ° C. Infants and young children can be accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. The course of the disease can last from 7 to 10 days, and some can be delayed for 2 to 3 weeks, or even repeatedly, and can develop into pneumonia. In addition to the clinical manifestations, the diagnosis should be combined with auscultation of the lungs and X-ray examination. Nursing: Pay attention to reasonable diet and rest. Adjust indoor temperature and humidity. Many infants with sputum need to change their positions frequently, and pat their backs gently to facilitate the discharge of respiratory secretions. Cough patients can give appropriate antitussive and expectorants, but not adult cough medicines. Suspected of bacterial infection, antibiotics are available.

Bronchial bronchopneumonia

Also known as lobular pneumonia, it is a common respiratory disease in childhood. The disease can occur throughout the year, but it is more common in the cold winter and spring seasons and sudden climate changes. Pneumonia can be seen in children of any age, but most infants and young children are one of the leading causes of death. The disease is mostly caused by the spread of bronchitis or secondary infections such as measles and pertussis. Onset can be acute or slow, with fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Acute inflammation can have high fever, generally 38 ~ 39 , can also reach 40 , most of them are irregular fever. Cough is more frequent, there is not much sputum in the early stage, and more in the recovery period. Breathing quickly and shallowly (40 to 80 beats / min), accompanied by moaning, wing movements of the nose and fingers around the mouth and toes. Severe pneumonia can cause acidosis due to severe hypoxia and toxemia, and affect other systems throughout the body, including mental wasting, lethargy, irritability, convulsions, vomiting, abdominal distension, and heart failure. In addition to the clinical manifestations of pneumonia diagnosis, pulmonary signs, radiographs and related laboratory tests can be used as auxiliary diagnosis. Nursing: The child's room should have fresh air, suitable temperature and humidity; keep the airway open, so that secretions can be smoothly discharged, and give oxygen when necessary; choose effective antibiotics; and give corresponding treatment according to their symptoms, such as sedation, cough, Asthma, strengthening heart, correcting acidosis, etc.
