Bronchoconstriction - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Anesthesia and the Child with Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

This presentation discusses the challenges and recommendations for anesthetic management of children with upper respiratory tract infections (URIs). It covers the etiology, bronchoconstriction causes, adverse effects, and current guidelines for anesthesia in these cases. The impact of URIs on emerge

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Horses: A Veterinarian's Perspective

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in horses is a respiratory condition caused by hypersensitivity reactions to allergens, viral infections, or bronchopneumonia. This chronic respiratory disease leads to decreased work performance, chronic coughing, abnormal lung sounds, and cardiac dysfun

Understanding Asthma: Symptoms, Causes, and Management

Asthma is a lung disease characterized by inflammation and bronchoconstriction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It is not contagious and can develop at any age, with early signs like eczema potentially leading to asthma later. Recognizing sympto

Understanding Respiratory System Pharmacology and Cough Physiology

The regulation of respiration involves sensory and efferent pathways, with afferent pathways comprising stretch receptors, C-fibres, and irritant receptors, while efferent pathways include parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. Cough physiology is a protective reflex initiated by various stimuli to
