58-treatment
Medical Therapy:
 Immediate hospitalization
 Broad-spectrum IV antibiotics – start immediately
 Identify pathogen – start narrow spectrum IV antibiotics
 IV antibiotics continued up to 1-2 weeks and then followed by Oral antibiotics for an
additional 2-3 weeks.
 Oral antibiotics (eg, ampicillin, cefpodoxime, cefuroxime, cefprozil) for aerobic infections
or to metronidazole for anaerobic infections
Surgery:
 Surgical drainage indications:
 If the response to appropriate antibiotic therapy has been poor within 48-72 hours or if
the CT scan shows the sinuses to be completely opacified.
 Ocular symptoms progress: 1) decreased vision, 2) development of afferent pupillary
defect develops, 3) progression of proptosis

2. Evaluation of hoarseness
25
When to pursue workup?

“Any patient with hoarseness of two weeks duration
or longer must undergo visualization of the vocal
cords”
26
Hoarseness
Considered a symptom of a disease.
 Definition:

 Rough, abnormal harsh quality
 Rough or noisy quality of voice
 Perception of voice with breathy quality
 Abnormal quality
27
Evaluation of Hoarseness: HISTORY

Hoarseness persisting for more than
two weeks requires evaluation

 occupation or livelihood depends on the normal use of
the voice
 need earlier and more aggressive intervention
 often require more specialized care.
 exception: upper respiratory tract infection
 history of tobacco use
○ head and neck cancer is the first diagnosis to
consider, as hoarseness is often the only
presenting symptom.

Voice use pattern
Nature and timing of the dysphonia
 Associated symptoms

 pain, dysphagia, cough or shortness of breath
 amount and style of voice use
 gastroesophageal reflux
 recent voice use (such as screaming at a
baseball game)
 vocal environment (where the patient uses
his or her voice—such as talking while
wearing earmuffs on an assembly line)
 history of hearing loss in the patient or in a
family member
Professional voice user
 sinonasal diseases (allergic rhinitis or chronic
sinusitis)




1a. Symptoms of croup
56
Larygotracheobronchitis
AKA “Croup”
“steeple sign” on x-ray
•
The most common cause of stridor outside the
neonatal period
• Peak incidence is ages 6mo – 3yrs
• Seasonal distribution: fall & early winter months
• Viral: parainfluenza, RSV, rhinovirus, and human
bocavirus
57
Classifying Croup by symptoms
•
•
•

Mild: occasional barking cough, no stridor, mild to no
retractions, no agitation or distress
Moderate: frequent barking cough, easily audible
stridor at rest, +chest wall retractions at rest, little
agitation or distress
Severe: frequent barking cough, prominent inspiratory
stridor and occasional expiratory stridor, marked
sternal retractions, +agitation and distress

60
1c. Treatment of croup
61
Treating Croup
RACEMIC EPINEPHRINE




For moderate to severe croup
Do not use Albuterol as β-agonists cause
vasodilatation and can increase airway edema
Observe for approx 3hrs
Studies have shown that approx 38% of patients
with Croup refractory to treatment expressed this in
the 2nd-3rd hours of observation
62
Treating Croup
CORTICOSTEROIDS
 Dexamethasone 0.6mg/kg IM or PO
 Reduces severity & duration of symptoms
HELIOX (mix of 70%helium & 30%oxygen): may improve
laminar gas flow / ventilation but not definitively proven
The majority of children w/ Croup are readily managed with
Dexamethasone and anti-pyretics / cough & cold
preparations.
63
2. Micro of epiglottitis
64
Epiglottitis
•
•
•
“thumbprint sign” on x-ray
An ACUTE inflammatory process of the epiglottis
which can lead to a life-threatening airway obstruction
Primary causative agent is H.influenzae type B;
which, has been largely eradicated due to
immunization
Other potential causative agents: Staph & Strep,
Candida (immunocomp.), thermal injury/burns, direct
trauma

Retropharyngeal Abscess (RPA)
•
•
Believed to be due to suppuration of lymph nodes found
within/between the anatomical space between the post.
pharyngeal wall & prevertebral fascia
These nodes tend to regress by age 4; hence, increased
potential in children <4yo
Also can be due to trauma/penetration into the space
•
Symptoms:
•
• Lack of or very mild URI
• Neck pain & swelling
• Increased drooling
• Tripoding
RPA
“tripoding”
• Pleuritic chest pain (ominous sign of extension into the thoracic
cavity/mediastinum)

RPA Diagnosis
•
Lateral neck X-ray
 Retropharyngeal space at C2 is 2x diameter of the
vertebral body width OR > ½ width of C4 vertebral body
 CT scan is near 100% sensitive
•
Need to be clinically astute as this can cause
severe airway compromise – be prepared, airway
equipment, steroids to reduce inflammation

3b. Peritonsillar Abscess
80
Peritonsillar Abscess (PTA)
•
•
•
•
Deep OROPHARYNGEAL infection/abscess
Can occur at ANY age; however, most common in
adolescents & young adults
Typically is the propagation of a superficial infection
that progresses to an accumulation of pus between
the tonsillar capsule the superior constrictor
muscle
Most are UNI-lateral (<10% BI-lateral)
81
Trismus – cannot open mouth d/t pain
PTA Diagnosis & Treatment
•
•
•
•
•
Sore throat, fever / chills, trismus, voice
change (“hot potato”), increased salivation
Exam reveals UNI-lateral peritonsillar edema,
deviation of the uvula away from the side of
infection
Abscess vs. Cellulitis can often be difficult to
discern: more ill appearing = ?PTA, CT scan
can identify
Antibiotic for polymicrobial coverage:
Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or Clindamycin
Needle Aspiration
82
PTA Aspiration
Complications:
Compliance of patient to
participate
 Hemorrhage
 Puncture of the Carotid artery;
needle should not penetrate
>1cm as the Carotid lies
lateral & posterior
 Aspiration of purulent material


3c. Ludwig’s Angina
84
Ludwig’s Angina
•
•
•
•
•
•

spaces
Clinical findings: 1) poor dentition/dental hygiene, 2) dysphagia,
odynophagia, 3) trismus, 4) edema of the upper midline neck and
floor of the mouth
85% of cases arise from an odontogenic source (abscess)
Need to consider in patients with recent dental
instrumentation/procedures
Rapidly progressing Infection/inflammation  cause the
posterior displacement of the tongue  airway compromise
Treatment: airway management, steroids, IV antibiotics,
ENT/surgical consultation
85

Why do supraomohyoid dissection
Etiology of sinus cancers
88
Conclusions
Head and neck cancer is the 8th leading cause of death
worldwide
 Tobacco use is the most significant risk factor for developing a
head and neck cancer
 Most common sites include





Tongue
Floor of mouth
Tonsil
Vocal cord
Early detection and smoking cessation lead to the best longterm outcomes
 Cancer of the nose and sinuses are very rare and require a
high index of suspicion for diagnosis

89
Conclusions
Status of cervical lymph nodes is an important
prognostic indicator
 The benefit of elective therapy outweighs the risks, if the
prevalence of micrometastases is >20% … neck
dissection (early removal can prevent mets)
 Neck dissections are divided into 3 main categories
(RND, MRND, SND)
 Selective neck dissection is based on lymphatic
drainage of the primary site
 Recurrence rates are comparable in appropriately
selected patients

90
1. Promoter and synergistic agents of
head/neck cancers
91
Head and Neck Cancer
All tobacco products –
cigarettes, pipes,
cigars, smokeless
tobacco, betel quids
(nut), reverse smoking,
secondhand smoke
Tobacco and alcohol are considered the most
common factors associated with the development of
head and neck cancer
 This relationship is synergistic

 Alcohol serves as a promoter for the carcinogenic
effects of tobacco
92
Head and Neck Cancer

Tobacco
 1.9 fold risk for males
 3.0 fold risk for females
 Risk directly proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked and
number of years smoked (dose dependant relationship)

Alcohol
 Alone confers a 1.7 fold risk

Combination
 At least 15 fold risk
 35 fold risk for 2 pack per day and 4 drinks per day
93
2. What to do with hoarseness > 2 weeks
94
Hoarseness (side note)


Hoarseness lasting >2 weeks
with little or no improvement
needs laryngeal exam
URI is most common cause of
hoarseness
 Often lasts several weeks


Hoarseness lasting >6 weeks in
an adult should be considered
cancer until proven otherwise
Acute Hoarseness in any
smoker should be considered
cancer until proven otherwise

103
4. Why do supraomohyoid dissection
104
Introduction
One of the most important prognostic indicators for patients
with squamous carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract
is the status of the cervical lymph nodes
 Local metastatic disease (spread to cervical lymph nodes)
can be managed with surgery, radiation, or both

 i.e. Goal is to remove cancer that may have spread to the neck
105
Supraomohyoid Type
Used for oral cavity cancer: lip, buccal mucosa,
upper & lower alveolar ridge, RMT, hard palate,
anterior 2/3 tongue, FOM
 Tumors in this region, especially oral tongue & FOM,
metastasize early
 20% risk occult disease
 >90% of occult metastatic disease in oral cavity
cancer involves Levels I, II, and III

106
Supraomohyoid Type



En bloc removal of node
levels I-III
Posterior limit: posterior
border SCM
Inferior limit: superior belly
of omohyoid m. where it
crosses the IJ

Pulmonary Contusion

Treatment
 Maintenance of adequate oxygenation & ventilation
○ Endotracheal intubation may be necessary
 Pain control, encourage deep breaths, incentive spirometry
 Generally require admission – contusions tend to worsen
over 24 hrs
 Avoid excessive IV fluid - may worsen contusions

May lead to ARDS, pneumonia, respiratory failure

 For metabolic acidoses, calculate the
 Alkalosis (pH > 7.45)
anion gap
 (Na++K+)-(Cl+HCO3)
 Is there an elevated anion gap (normal
is 10-16)?
 Normal (pH in the range of 7.35-
7.45)

STEP 3

 Respiratory? (pCO2 out of range?)

STEP 4
 Look for compensation – the alternate
 Metabolic? (HCO3 out of range?)
value will stray from normal to try to
normalize the pH

A six year old boy is taken to the
emergency department with vomiting
and a decreased level of consciousness.
 His breathing is slow and deep
(Kussmaul breathing), and he is
lethargic and irritable in response to
stimulation.
 He appears to be dehydrated—his eyes
are sunken and mucous membranes are
dry—and he has a two week history of
polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss.

Diagnosis = metabolic acidosis with respiratory compensation
159
STEPS
1) Acidotic
2) Metabolic
3) Compensation – only partial compensation, not enough to bring back to normal; low
CO2 (normally gives alkalosis)
4) Anion gap – 26 (elevated)
5) Oxygen – normal
Diagnosis = metabolic acidosis with partially respiratory compensation
- Secondary to diabetic ketoacidosis
- Primary metabolic condition, is the respiratory component going away from normal to
compensate (away from normal, decreased CO2, slow deep respirations)
Treatment
- Insulin
- Body can use glucose present
- Before insulin, glucose not used, used FFA  ketone bodies  metabolic acidotic
buildup

Steps
1) Alkalosis (vomited acid)
2) Metabolic alkalosis (CO2 45 is upper range of normal; HCO3- 37 is high)
3) Respiratory compensation beginngin (slower, shallower breathing  higher CO2)
4) Anion gap – normal
5) Oxygen status – normal
Diagnosis
- Metabolic alkalosis with partial respiratory compensation
Treatment
- During compensation, oxygen will go down – needs some oxygen
- Antiemetic – slow the N/V
- Hydration
- Monitor respiratory rate for decreased oxygenation
Serious complications
- Arrhythmias d/t poor electrical conduciton

Diagnostic STEPS:
1) Acidosis
2) Respiratory – really high CO2
3) Compensation? – nope, elevated bicarb would
show compensation (renal compensation takes
days to improve the acid/base balance) … bicarb
on its way up
4) Anion gap? Not as helpful
5) Determine O2 status – hypoxic
DIAGNOSIS:
Pyrexia (fevers),
RESPIRATORY ACIDOS with HYPOXIA
- Acute decompensation
Long standing COPD, will have increased pCO2 (blood) –
- Baseline is high (CO2 retainers)
- High baseline bicarb is high
- Higher residual dead space, pockets of space, rotten air
(high CO2) d/t dead alveoli
- Cannot blow off CO2 (poor exhalation)
Treatment
- Primary respiratory drive is high CO2
- COPD patients have oxygen related drive or equal to CO2
drive
- HIGH FLOW OXYGEN with NON-REBREATHER MASK
(POSTIVE PRESSURE VENT)
-
Slower breathing
Retain more CO2 in response
CO2 in 90-100  lethargic, airway compromise

Symptoms
Patients with pulmonary renal syndromes usually
present with a rapidly progressive onset of cough,
dyspnea, fever and hemoptysis
 They will present like a patient with pneumonia in
ARDS. Unless there is a known history of connective
tissue disease such as lupus you will have only subtle
hints that a pulmonary renal syndrome is present
 The physical diagnosis is non specific. Findings are
usually positive if there is a known vasculitis or
connective tissue disease

Goodpasture’s
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis secondary to
circulating antibodies against the basement
membrane.
 The glomerulonephritis is associated with a crescent
formation (COMLEX / USMLE)
 Younger adults <30 typically present with full
constellation of symptoms whereas older adults > 50
have primarily glomerular disease.

Goodpastures - Presentation
The history and physical findings are non specific.
 The patient presents in respiratory failure and will
resemble someone with pneumonia with ARDS.
 When intubated you may notice frothy sputum in the
endotracheal tube. You may note an absence of
purulent sputum in a patient whom you suspected
had pneumonia

1a. Preventing pertussis
247
Pertussis Prognosis
Most children- complete healing of the respiratory epithelium and have
normal pulmonary function after recovery
 Young children can die from pertussis and are more likely to be
hospitalized
 Most permanent disability is a result of encephalopathy
PREVENTION
 Active immunity- acellular pertussis
 Macrolides are effective in preventing secondary cases
 Under 7 years of age who have received only four doses of vaccine

 Should receive a booster dose of DTaP + macrolide antibiotic for 10 to 14
days

7 years of age and older
 Should receive prophylactic macrolide antibiotic for 10 to 14 days + Tdap

1b. Treating pertussis
249
Treatment





Erythromycin, clarithromycin, or azithromycin are recommendedtrimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole
Early treatment eradicates nasopharyngeal carriage of organisms
within 3 to 4 days and lessens the severity of symptoms
Limit spread of infection
Treatment is not effective in the paroxysmal stage
Major complications
 include hypoxia, apnea, seizures, encephalopathy, and malnutrition
 Pneumonia- Pertussis itself or Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus
influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus
 Atelectasis
 pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax
 epistaxis; hernias; and retinal and subconjunctival hemorrhages
250
2. Micro of bronchiolitis
251
Bronchiolitis- Definition
Inflammation of the bronchioles
 Usually is caused by an acute viral infection
 The most common lower respiratory tract infection in
infants and children who are 2 years
 The most commonly identified infectious agent is the
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
 BUT adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, influenza
virus, and parainfluenza virus

252
3. When to hospitalize bronchiolitis
253
Epidemiology
90,000 hospitalizations annually
The cost children <1 year of age - $700 million
Bronchiolitis is a self-limited disease
Increasing over the past decade
Young patients and patients who have pre-existing
medical conditions form a vulnerable population that may
require inpatient admission
 RSV-associated deaths are rare, accounting for fewer
than 500 deaths per year in the United States
 Most RSV-associated deaths occur in children who have
no pre-existing medical conditions.

4. Define RDS
255
ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)


RDS = Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Respiratory Failure
 Pulmonary system is unable to maintain adequate gas exchange to meet
metabolic demands
○ Paco2 >50 mm Hg- inadequate alveolar ventilation
 decreased minute ventilation (tidal volume × respiratory rate)
 or an increase in dead space ventilation
○ Pao2 <60 mm Hg- ventilation-perfusion mismatch
○ No intracardiac shunt


ALI- acute onset, bilateral pulmonary edema, no clinical evidence of
elevated left atrial pressure, and a ratio of PaO2 to FiO2 between 201
and 300 mm Hg
ARDS- with more severe hypoxemia- PaO2/FiO2 of ≤200 mm Hg
256

1. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic causes of restrictive
lung
262
Categories of Restrictive Lung Disease

Intrinsic lung diseases (diseases of the lung
parenchyma)

Extrinsic disorders (extra-parenchymal diseases)
1a. Intrinsic causes of restrictive lung
264
Intrinsic Lung Diseases

These diseases cause either:
 Inflammation and/or scarring of lung tissue (interstitial lung
disease)
or
 Fill the air spaces with exudate and debris (pneumonitis).

These diseases are classified further according to the
etiological factor.
►THE GAS EXCHANGER, There is a multitude
of diseases that effect this area of the lung. You
can expect changes in compliance, possible
hypoxemia at rest or with exercise, an abnormal
diffusion capacity for Carbon Monoxide, and at
times a relentless progression of the disease
1b. Extrinsic causes of restrictive lung
267
EXTRINSIC CAUSES
THE RESPIRATORY CONTROLLER OR THE
VENTILATORY PUMP
Any entity that may affect the CNS
may ultimately effect the lungs. Think
of  CNS bleeds, CNS masses,
Encephalitis, Meningitis, Head trauma,
Strokes, ischemic or hemorrhagic, or
Drug effects.
► These processes can cause
changes in the Respiratory
rate, the depth of breathing,
and can cause non cardiogenic
pulmonary edema, hypoventilation,
aspiration, pneumonia, hypoxemia,
and Resp. Failure and death.
Extrinsic Causes
By their very nature, severe kyphoscoliosis and massive obesity are easily recognizable.
 The pleural disorders are associated with decreased tactile fremitus, dullness or
hyperesonance upon percussion, and decreased intensity of breath sounds.


In cases of neuromuscular diseases, the physical examination findings may indicate
accessory muscles usage, rapid shallow breathing, paradoxical breathing, and other features
of systemic involvement. *

External trauma may be evident and/or the patient may have minor trauma but be massively
obese that his/her respiratory function may be compromised.

 Final Result a restrictive defect!!!
Extrinsic Lung Diseases
Neuromuscular diseases
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Poliomyelitis
• Myasthenia Gravis
• Spinal Cord Lesions
• Guillain-Barre’ syndrome
• Bilateral Diaphragm paralysis
Non-neuromuscular
• Obesity!!!!
• Chest wall trauma
• Kyphoscoliosis
• Pleural diseases
• Pneumothorax
2. PFTs in restrictive dz
271





Due to the effects of accumulation of mineral dust in the lungs
Silicosis- exposure to crystalline free silica; ACUTE silicosis causes
pulmonary
alveolar proteinosis; CHRONIC- simple nodular silicosis to progressive
massive fibrosis
PFT’s- Normal obstructive or restrictive pattern.
CXR- “Eggshell nodal calcifications”

Asbestosis- Shipyard workers, insulators, construction, pipe fitters, fibrosis of
lung and pleural disease; asbestos bodies of long and short fibers; symptoms
related to extent and duration of exposure; MESOTHELIOMA, Lung CA,
Pleural Plaques; restrictive PFT’s

Berylliosis- rare metal, acute and chronic form which is more of a
granulomatous disease and hard to differentiate from Sarcoidosis, RxCorticosteroids, avoid further exposure
3. Asbestosis vs. sarcoid vs. hypersensitivity
vs. pneumonia
273
3a. Asbestosis
274

Asbestosis- Shipyard workers, insulators, construction,
pipe fitters, fibrosis of lung and pleural disease; asbestos
bodies of long and short fibers; symptoms related to extent
and duration of exposure; MESOTHELIOMA, Lung CA,
Pleural Plaques; restrictive PFT’s
275
3b. sarcoid
276
Sarcoidosis
A disease characterized by the presence of granulomatous tissue.
This is a systemic disease which involves eyes, brain, heart, lungs, bones and
kidneys, skin, liver and spleen. 90% of patients have lung involvement.
On pathology a non-caseating granuloma composed of histiocytes, giant cells and
lymphocytes. In advanced lung disease fibrotic changes are seen.
3c. hypersensitivity
278
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis.
Hypersensitivity reaction in the lung occurs in response to
inhaled organic dust.
Example is farmer’s lung.
The exposure may be occupational or environmental.
The disease occurs from type III (immune complex mediated)
and type IV (delayed hypersensitivity) hypersensitivity
reactions.
Farmer’s lung is due to thermophilic actinomyces in moldy hay.
Bird fancier’s lung is caused by avian antigen.
Bronchoalveolar lavage lymphocytic alveolitis, 'CD-8 T cells ;
there is infiltration of the alveolar walls with
lymphocytes, histiocytes, and plasma cells. May see
loosely formed granulomas. All this may lead to fibrosis.
Look for precipitating antibodies to specific antigens
Dx by transbronchial biopsy or open lung biopsy.
Rx avoid exposure, corticosteroids
Hypersensitivity
Pneumonitis
3d. pneumonia
281
Diffuse Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis

Synonyms: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia,
cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis.
Pathology
 Thickening of interstitium.
 Initially, infiltration with lymphocytes and plasma cells.
 Later fibroblasts lay down thick collagen bundles.
 These changes occur irregularly within the lung.
 Eventually alveolar architecture is destroyed – honeycomb lung
 Etiology
 Unknown, may be immunological reaction.
Clinical Features
Uncommon disease, affects adults in late middle age.
Progressive exertional dyspnea, later at rest.
Non-productive cough, dry in nature
Physical examination, fine inspiratory crackles (VELCRO
crackles) throughout both lungs.
 Patient may develop respiratory failure terminally.
 The disease progresses insidiously, median survival 4-6
years.
 Wheezing is an uncommon manifestation but can occur
in patients with lymphangitic carcinomatosis, chronic
eosinophilic pneumonia, and respiratory bronchiolitis.
Chest pain rare!





Morbidity/Mortality Depends on the underlying
cause of the disease process. Median survival time
for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is 3 years.

Factors that predict poor outcome in (IPF) include :
older age, male gender, severe dyspnea, history of
cigarette smoking, severe loss of lung function,
appearance and severity of fibrosis on radiologic
studies, lack of response to therapy, and prominent
fibroblastic foci on histopathologic evaluation.
Treatment








Each patient is individually assessed.
Patients are treated if they have symptoms or progressive
dysfunction on pulmonary function tests.
Corticosteroids (Prednisone 1 mg/kg) is standard therapy.
Prednisone dose is lowered over 6-8 weeks and continued at
15 mg for 1-2 years.
Addition of Imuran may benefit survival.
Cyclophosphamide occasionally used.
Antifibrotics such as colchicine may be used.
Ancillary therapies such as oxygen, pulmonary rehabilitation,
psychosocial aspects are helpful.
