Types, Causes and Symptoms of Vertigo

Types, Causes and Symptoms of Vertigo
Disease which is also called vestibulars disorders are health problems associated with our balance system, usually the symptoms is feeling spinning (like falling), ear buzzing and sometimes with nausea.

Basically vertigo is a complaint, not a disease. However, this complaint could be a sign of serious illness. So, although not a disease, vertigo should not be underestimated. Vertigo can be a sign of diseases like brain tumor, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus (diabetes), heart, and kidneys. The earlier vertigo will be handled more quickly be overcome.

Types of vertigo

Vertigo is classified into two categories based on the damaged vestibular channels, namely peripheral vertigo and central vertigo. Vestibular canal is one of the organs of the inner ear that always sends information to the brain about the position of the body to maintain balance.

Peripheral vertigo occurs if there is interference on a channel called semicircular canal, the middle ear in charge of controlling the balance.

This type of vertigo is usually followed by symptoms such as:
  • dark outlook
  • fatigue and decreased stamina
  • palpitations
  • loss of balance
  • unable to concentrate
  • feeling like a hangover
  • muscle pain
  • nausea and vomiting
  • memory and thinking power to decline
  • sensitive to bright light and sound
  • sweat

While central vertigo occurs if there is something not normal in the brain, especially in the balance nerve, the area of ​​the brain and cerebellum branching (small brain). Central vertigo symptoms usually occur gradually, the patient will experience things like:
  • double vision
  • hard to swallow
  • paralysis of the facial muscles
  • severe headache
  • impaired consciousness
  • not speechless
  • loss of coordination
  • nausea and vomiting
  • body feels weak

Causes and Symptoms

Complaints usually come sudden vertigo, followed by clinical symptoms of discomfort such as sweating, nausea, and vomiting. Factors causing vertigo are: systemic, neurologic, ophtalmologik, otolaryngology, psychogenic.

Vertigo is often caused by a disturbance in the area centered balance labyrinth or the cochlea in the ear cavity. Possible causes of vertigo include:
  • Infections such as influenza virus that attacks the maze area.
  • Bacterial infection in the middle ear.
  • Arthritis in the neck area.
  • Migraine attack.
  • Too little blood circulation, causing blood flow to decrease brain balance centers.
  • Drunk vehicle.
  • Alcohol and certain drugs.

Ineffective Airway Clearance related to Bronchopneumonia

Ineffective Airway Clearance related to Bronchopneumonia

Nursing Care Plan for Bronchopneumonia

Ineffective Airway Clearance : Inability to clear secretions or obstructions from the respiratory tract to maintain a clear airway

Bronchopneumonia is a type of pneumonia. Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs, caused by infection from viruses, bacteria, or fungi. The infection causes inflammation in the alveoli (also known as air sacs) in the lungs, causing the alveoli to become filled with pus or fluid.

Both forms of pneumonia are often caused by coming into contact with viruses and bacteria in your day-to-day routine. Most cases of bacterial pneumonia are caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumonia; however, it is not uncommon for pneumonia to be caused by more than one type of bacteria. Other possible culprits include:
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Haemophilus influenzae
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae
Most cases of viral pneumonia are caused by the same viruses that cause cold and flu.


Nursing Diagnosis for Bronchopneumonia

Ineffective Airway clearance related to increased sputum production

Subjective Data
  • Patients complain of fuss
  • Patients complain of shortness of breath
  • Patients do not want to eat
  • Parents expressed not understand about his illness

Objective Data
  • Breathing fast and shallow
  • Nostril breathing
  • Ronchi and cyanosis
  • Coughing purulent sputum
  • The use of auxiliary respiratory muscles
  • Breath sounds bronchovesikuler
  • vomiting vomiting
  • Malaise
  • Decreased appetite and weight loss
  • Increased respiration

Goals:

Clean and effective airway after the treatment, the criteria:
  • No dypsnoe, cyanosis, Ronchi
  • BGA mormal

Intervention:
  1. Assess the respiratory rate, record the ratio of inspiration / expiration.
  2. Perform auscultation of breath sounds, note the presence of breath sounds. For example: wheezing, crackles.
  3. Provide semi-Fowler position.
  4. Provide a warm drink a little bit but it often.
  5. Implement the discretionary actions: bronchodilator, mucolytics, to liquefy phlegm so easily removed.

Rational:
  1. Tachypnea is usually present in some degree and can be found at the reception or during stress / presence of acute infectious process. Respiratory frequency can be slowed down and elongated than the expiration of inspiration.
  2. Airway clearance ineffective may be manifested in the presence of breath sounds adventisius.
  3. Semi-Fowler position will make it easier for patients to breathe.
  4. Hydration decrease the viscosity of secretions and facilitate expenditure.
  5. Provision of medicines pengerncer sputum airway facilitate the evacuation process.

Pathophysiology of Thyroid Carcinoma

Thyroid Carcinoma usually capture radioactive iodine than normal thyroid gland located around the perimeter. Therefore, when done scintiscan, nodules will appear as an area with less decision, a cold lesion. Other diagnostic techniques that can be used for differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules are thyroid echography. This technique allows to distinguish carefully between the mass of solid and cystic masses. Thyroid carcinoma is usually solid, while the cystic mass is usually a benign cyst.

Thyroid carcinoma should be suspected based on clinical signs if there is only one palpable nodules, hard, basically can not be moved, and is associated with satellite lymphadenopathy.

In general it was agreed that clinical thyroid cancer can be divided into a large group of well differentiated neoplasm with a slow growth rate and high probability of healing, and a small group of anaplastic tumor with possible fatal. There are four types of thyroid cancer according to morphologic and biological: papillary, folikularis, medularis, and anaplastic. (Price, 1995, p: 1078)

Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland is usually a hard nodule, single, "cold" on the isotope scan, and "solid" on thyroid ultrasonography, which is very different from other parts of the gland. At multinodular goiter, cancer is a "dominant nodule" bigger, louder and clearer than the surrounding parts. Approximately 10% of papillary carcinomas, especially in children, with enlarged cervical lymph nodes, but careful inspection will usually reveal nodule "cold" on the thyroid. Rarely, will hemorrhage, necrosis and cyst formation in malignant nodules but on thyroid ultrasonography, there will be clearly bounded internal echo is useful for semi malignant cystic lesions of "pure cyst" is not malignant. Finally, papillary carcinoma can be found accidentally as a fakus microscopic cancer in the middle of the gland removed for other reasons such as: Graves' disease or multinodular goiter.

Microscopically, the tumor consists of a single layer of thyroid cells organized in "vascular stalk", by highlighting papil into microscopic spaces such as cysts. Nucleus of the cell and often pale nucleus containing inclusion bodies intra clear as glass san. Approximately 40% of papillary carcinoma forming a layered spheres classification, often at the end of both the optic disc bulge called "psammoma body", is usually diagnostic for papillary carcinoma. This cancer is usually spread by metastasis in the glands and the thyroid gland invasion and local lymph nodes. In elderly patients, they can be more aggressive and invade locally into the muscle and trachea. In stage further, they can spread to the lungs. Death is usually due to local disease, with invasion into the neck, more rarely death could disebabka extensive pulmonary metastases. In some elderly patients, a papillary carcinoma that grows slowly will begin to grow rapidly and turn into anaplastic carcinoma. Further anaplastic changes are the cause of death other than papillary carcinoma, papillary carcinoma secreting many thyroglobulin, which can be used as a sign of recurrence or metastasis of cancer.

Follicular carcinoma is characterized by the persistence of small follicles, although the formation of colloidal bad. Indeed, follicular carcinoma can not be distinguished from follicular adenomas except with capsule invasion or vascular invasion. The tumor is slightly more aggressive than papillary carcinoma and spreads either by local invasion or lymph node invasion of blood vessels accompanied by distant metastases to bone or lung. Microscopically, these cells are cuboidal shaped with large nuclei were irregular around the follicle, often containing colloid. These tumors are often still have the ability to concentrate radioactive iodine to form tiroglubulin and rarely, to synthesize T3 and T4. Thus, the function of thyroid cancer that is almost always a rare follicular carcinoma. This characteristic makes these tumors more it is likely to give good results against radioactive iodine treatment. In patients who were not treated, death due to local extension or distant metastases as the flow of blood to the extensive involvement of the bones, lungs, and viscera.

A variant of follicular carcinoma is carcinoma "Hurthle cell" which is characterized by cells individually with a huge pink cytoplasm contains mitochondria. They behave more like papillary carcinoma are rare unless they radioiodin uptake. Mixed papillary and follicular carcinoma is more like papillary carcinoma. Thyroglobulin secretion produced by follicular carcinoma can be used to follow the course of the disease.

Medullary carcinoma is a disease of the cell C (parafolikular cells) derived from primary branchial body and capable of secreting calcitonin, histaminase, prostaglandins, serotonir, and other peptides. In mikoroskopis, tumor composed of layers of cells separated by a substance that stained with red. Amyloid consists of a chain of calcitonin fibrils that are arranged in a pattern or contrast with other forms of amyloid, which can have a light chain immunoglobulins or other proteins that are deposited with a pattern Fibri.

Medullary carcinoma is more aggressive than papillary or follicular carcinomas but not as aggressive as undifferentiated thyroid cancer. This extends locally to the lymph nodes and into the surrounding muscle and trachea. Can lymphatic and vascular invasion and metastasisi to the lungs, and calcitonin viscera, and carsinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is secreted by the tumor is of clinical signs that help the diagnosis and follow-up. Approximately one-third are familial medullary carcinoma, involving multiple nodes (Multiple endocrine neoplasia type II = MEN II, Sipple syndrome). MEN II is characterized by medullary carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and multiple neuromas on the tongue, lips, and intestines. Approximately one-third of cases of malignancy dalah alone. If medullary carcinoma at diagnosis with fine-needle aspiration biopsy or during surgery, it is important for patients examined other endocrine disorders encountered in MEN II and members examined for the presence of medullary carcinoma and MEN II. Measurement of serum calcitonin after pentagastrin stimulation or infusion of calcium can be used to screen for medullary carcinoma. Pentagastrin administered intravenously in the form of bolus 0.5 mg / kg, and venous blood samples were taken at minutes 1, 3, 5, and 10. Abnormal increase in serum calcitonin in minutes to 3 or 5 is indicative of malignancy. MEN IIA gene has been localized to chromosome 10, and it is now possible to use checks and polymorphic DNA fragment length polymorphism is limited to the identification of this syndrome gene career. So the family members who carry this gene can be identified and examined as a high risk for the onset of this syndrome.

Anaplastic carcinoma, undifferentiated thyroid gland tumors including small cell carcinoma, giant cells, and spindle cells. It usually occurs in elderly patients with a long history of goiter in which the nodes of a sudden within a few weeks or months started to grow and produce pressure symptoms, dysphagia or vocal cord paralysis, death due to local expansion which usually occurs within 6-36 months . These tumors are highly resistant to treatment.

Nursing Interventions for Acute Tonsillitis

Acute tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils is still mild. Inflammation of the tonsils in children is almost always involve the surrounding organs so that the infection of the pharynx is usually also the tonsils, so called as tonsillopharyngitis.

Nursing Diagnosis for Thyroid Cancer

Nursing Diagnosis for Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is a depressing malignancy in thyroid which has 4 types, namely: papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic. Thyroid cancer rarely causes enlargement of the gland, often causing small growth (nodule) in the gland. The majority of thyroid nodules are benign, thyroid cancer is usually curable.

Thyroid cancer often limits the ability to absorb iodine and limit the ability to produce thyroid hormone, but sometimes produce enough thyroid hormone, causing hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid gland (an organ shaped like a butterfly located on the nape of the neck), which serves to produce hormones to regulate the speed of the heart beat, blood pressure, body temperature and weight.


According to WHO, malignant epithelial thyroid tumors are divided into:

1. Follicular carcinoma.
There are roughly 25% of all thyroid carcinomas exist, especially regarding the age group above 50 years. Invade the bloodstream and then spread to the bone and lung tissue. Rarely spread to regional lymph nodes but can be attached / stuck in the trachea, neck muscles, and blood vessels of the skin, which then causes dyspnea and dysphagia. When the tumor on "The recurrent laryngeal Nerves", a hoarse voice clients. The prognosis is good if metastasenya still a bit by the time the diagnosis is set.

2. Papillary carcinoma.
Is a type of thyroid cancer that is often found, a lot of women or the age group above 40 years. Papillary carcinoma is a tumor that progress has been slow and can appear many years before spreading to regional lymph nodes. When the tumor is localized in the thyroid gland, the prognosis is good if the action Thyroidectomy partial or total.

3. Medullary carcinoma.
Parafolikular arising in thyroid tissue. Amount of 5-10% of all thyroid carcinomas and generally the people aged over 50 years. Spread through the lymph nodes and invade surrounding structures. These tumors often occur and are part of the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) Type II which is also part of the endocrine disease, where there is excessive secretion of calcitonin, ACTH, prostaglandin and serotonin.

4. Poorly differentiated carcinoma (anaplastic).
Tumor is growing quickly and outstanding aggressive. This type of cancer is directly attacking adjacent structures, which cause symptoms such as:
  • Stridor (sound raspy / hoarse, loud audible breath sounds).
  • Hoarseness.
  • Dysphagia
The prognosis is poor and most of the clients died about 1 year after diagnosis set. Clients with a diagnosis of anaplastic carcinoma can be treated with palliative surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Etiology of the disease is uncertain, whose role is to occur particularly well differentiated (papillary and follicular) are radiation and endemic goiter, and for medullary type is a genetic factor. Carcinoma who have not known a role for anaplastic and medullary cancers. Estimated cancer types derived from anaplastic thyroid cancer changes berdiferensia good (papillary and follicular), with the possibility of the follicular type twice as large.

Radiation is one of the etiologic factors of thyroid cancer. Many cases of cancer in children previously received radiation to the head and neck due to other diseases. Radiation effects usually appear after 5-25 years, but an average of 9-10 years. The old TSH stimulation is also one of etiological factors of thyroid cancer. Other risk factors are a family history of thyroid cancer and chronic goiter.

There are also factors such as genetic abnormalities predisposisilainnya, age, sex, race, and place of residence (coastal area).

Clinical suspicion of thyroid carcinoma is based on the observation that was confirmed by pathological examination and suspicion are divided into high, medium and low. Which includes high suspicion are:
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia history in the family.
  • Rapid tumor growth.
  • Hard palpable nodules.
  • Fixation surrounding area.
  • Paralysis of the vocal cords.
  • Enlargement of regional lymph nodes.
  • The presence of distant metastases.

Abdominal Typhoid - Clinical Manifestations and Pathophysiology

Abdominal Typhoid - Clinical Manifestations and Pathophysiology
Clinical Manifestation of Abdominal Typhoid

Clinical manifestations of abdominal typhoid in adult patients is usually more severe than in children. Average incubation period of 10-20 days. The shortest 4 days if the infection through food, whereas the longest up to 30 days if the infection through drink. During the incubation period found that prodromal symptoms of feeling unwell, lethargy, headache, dizziness, decreased appetite, and not excited.

Clinical symptoms commonly found are:
1. Fever.
In the typical case the fever lasts 3 weeks. Remitens and is febrile temperature is not too high. During the first week, body temperature gradually rose faithful day, usually down in the morning and rose again in the afternoon and evening. In the second week the patient continues to be in a state of fever. In the third week and the body temperature gradually fall back to normal by the end of the fourth week.

2. Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
In the mouth there is a smell of bad breath (halitosis), dry lips and chapped (rhagaden). Tongue covered with dirty white membrane (coated tongue), reddish tongue tip and edges, often accompanied by tremors. Abdominal bloating discovered circumstances (meteorismus). Enlarged liver and spleen pain accompanied palpability. Defecation usually constipation, may be normal and sometimes diarrhea.

3. Disorders of consciousness.
Generally, patients with decreased consciousness, although not in, that is apathetic to somnolence, sopor rare, coma or restless (except severe illness and delayed treatment).

4. Besides the above symptoms, on the back or limbs can be found roseola, which is reddish spots due to emboli bacilli in skin capillaries are mainly found in the first week of fever. Sometimes also found bradycardia and epistaxis.

Pathophysiology of Abdominal Typhoid

Foods or beverages that have been contaminated by the bacteria Salmonella typhosa into the stomach, then escapes from the stomach's defense system, then enter the small intestine, spleen follicles go through kesaluran systemic lymphatic and blood circulation, resulting in bacteremia. Bacteremia first attack Endoteleal reticulo Systems (RES) are: liver, spleen and bone, then later on all organs in the body such as the central nervous system, kidneys and spleen tissue. Bile produced by the liver into the gallbladder, causing cholecystitis. Bile will go into the duodenum and the high virulence of the bacteria will infect the intestine back especially illeum which will form part of the oval and the ulcer. Entry of bacteria into the intestine occurs in the first week with signs and symptoms of body temperature fluctuates in particular the temperature will go up at night and will decrease late morning. Fever that occurred in this period is called intermittent fever (high temperature, up and down and the downs can reach normal). Besides an increase in body temperature, will also happen obstipation, as a result of decreased motility temperature, but this is not always the case can also occur otherwise. Once past the initial phase of intestinal bacteria, then enter the systemic circulation with a sign of increased body temperature is very high and signs of infection in the RES as upper right abdominal pain, splenomegaly and hepatomegaly. In the next week where Focal Intestinal infections occur with signs of body temperature remains high, but the value is lower than the phase of bacteremia and continuous (continuous fever), dirty tongue, the tongue edge hyperemia, decreased peristalsis, impaired digestion and absorption so that it will occurred distension, diarrhea and patients feel uncomfortable, this may occur during intestinal bleeding, perforation and peritonitis with severe abdominal distension sign, decreased peristalsis even disappear, melena, syock and loss of consciousness.

Nursing Management of Post-Operative Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor arising in the epithelial tissue of the colon / rectum.

Colorectal tumors are generally adenocarcinomas that develop from adenoma polyp.

Cause of Colorectal Cancer is not known for certain, but there are predisposing factors consisting of:

  • Age over 40 years
  • Family history
  • History of cancer in other parts of the body
  • Benign polyps, colorectal polyps, adenomatous polyps, or adenomas villus
  • Ulcerative colitis is more than 20 years
  • Sedentary Life style, smoking, obesity.
  • Eating habits of high cholesterol / fat and protein (meat) and low in fiber / Refined Carbohydrates that cause changes in faecal flora and the change of bile salts degradation or breakdown products of protein and fat which are carcinogenic.

Post-Operative of Colorectal Cancer
  1. Routine care for the surgical client. Monitor vital signs and intake and output, including gastric and other drainage from the wound drain. Assess bleeding from abdominal and perineal incision, colostomy, or anus. Evaluation of the other wound complications and maintain the integrity of psychology.
  2. Monitor bowel sounds and abdominal distension degrees. Surgical manipulation of the intestinal peristaltic manghentikan, cause ileus. Absence of bowel sounds and passage of flatus indication of the return of peristaltic.
  3. Drugs reduce pain and provide a sense of comfort as checking the position change
  4. Assess respiratory status, prop abdomen with a blanket or pillow to help cough
  5. Assess the position and patency of NGT, linkage suction. When folded hoses, irrigation with sterile saline carefully.
  6. Assess the color, number, and the smell of drainage and colostomy (if any) noted various changes or clot or bleeding bright red.
  7. Avoid mounting rectal temperature, rectal suppository or other procedure might damage the anal suture line, causing bleeding, infection or impaired healing.
  8. Maintain intravenous fluids when they do naso gastric suction
  9. Giving antacid, histamine 2 receptor antagonists and antibiotic therapy is recommended. Depending on the procedure performed. Antibiotic therapy to prevent infection due to contamination of the abdominal cavity with bowel contents.
  10. Encourage ambulation to stimulate peristaltic
  11. Began teaching and discharge planning. Consult with a nutritionist for diet instructions and menus, give reinforcement teaching.

The purpose of post-operative care:
  1. Wound care
  2. Client education and home care considerations
  3. Positive body image
  4. Monitoring and management of complications

Anthrax Nursing Diagnosis

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. The disease is a zoonosis especially grazing animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle. Humans infected with the disease when endospores enter the body through skin abrasions or wounds, inhalation or contaminated food. Naturally humans can be infected if it comes in contact with anthrax-infected animals or contaminated animal products anthrax germs. Although rare, transmission through insect bites can also occur. Potential spread of spores by aerosol used in warfare and bioterrorism.

Nursing Diagnosis for Anthrax

1. Ineffective Airway Clearance related to airway obstruction
characterized by: audible stridor, dyspnea, cough with purulent sputum, radiological examination looks mediastinal widening, pleural effusion.

2. Ineffective breathing pattern related to decreased lung expansion
characterized by: dyspnea, use of accessory muscles, increased respiration.

3. Acute pain related to the injury of biological agents
characterized by: the client complains of pain, dyspnea, rapid pulse, looked nervous.

4. Impaired swallowing related to mechanical obstruction (oropharyngeal edema)
characterized by: the client indicates difficulty in swallowing, complain of pain when swallowing.

5. Constipation related to decreased motility of the GI tract
characterized by: the client said it was difficult defecation, hypoactive bowel sounds, presence of blood in stools, hard stools.

6. Diarrhea related to an increase in GI motility
characterized by: liquid bowel movements difficult and more than 3 times / day, hyperactive bowel sounds and abdominal pain.

7. Impaired Skin Integrity related to irritant toxin anthrax bacteria
characterized by: The primary skin lesions are not painful and itchy papules, vesicles containing fluid jerni, vesicles give rise eskar central necrosis (necrotic ulcer) surrounded by edema distinctive black and purple vesicles.

8. Hyperthermia related to increased metabolic
characterized by: an increase in body temperature above the normal range (36.5 to 37.5), resipiirasi increased, and red skin.

Nursing Management : Pre-Operative of Colorectal Cancer

Nursing Management of Colorectal Cancer

Client care with bowel surgery:

A. Pre-Operative of Colorectal Cancer

  • Ensure valid signs for the procedure. This is useful for patients and family members to understand the procedures and possible risks and advantages, should alternatives to the preparation procedure. Format signing consent for procedures especially as documentation that the client and the family agreed.
  • Assess the client and family understanding about the procedure, clarification and interpret as needed. Give instructions on what to expect during the postoperative period, covering pain management, hose fitting NGT / IVFD, breathing exercises, reintroduction of oral intake of food and fluids. Clients are well prepared for preoperative usually not anxious and better able to support the post-operative care. Adequate preparation also reduced the need for narcotic analgesics and enhance client recovery.
  • NGT installation. Although the installation is often done in an operating room just for surgery, preoperative NGT can be fitted to throw secretion and gastric emptying.
  • Bowel preparation procedure. Antibiotic should kathartik oral and parenteral and enema / swallow can be given preoperatively to cleanse the colon and reduce the risk of peritoneal contamination by intestinal contents during surgery.

Pre-operative treatment goals:
  1. Relief of pain
  2. Increase activity tolerance
  3. Provide nutritional measures
  4. Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance
  5. Lowers Anxiety
  6. Prevent Infection
  7. Client Pre-operative education
