“…To facilitate deep breathing, the patient's thorax should be maintained in alignment and the head of the bed should be elevated 30 • to 45 • to accommodate diaphragmatic descent and intercostal muscle action. [43][44][45] Humidification Endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes bypass the mucosal areas of the upper respiratory tract that normally causes humidification of air; therefore, humidification by external means is necessary. This is done by adding heated (to body temperature) water vapor to inhaled gas to prevent drying and irritation of the respiratory tract, to prevent undue loss of body water, and to facilitate secretion removal.…”

The management of acute respiratory failure varies according to the etiology. A clear understanding of physiology of respiration and pathophysiological mechanisms of respiratory failure is mandatory for managing these patients. The extent of abnormality in arterial blood gas values is a result of the balance between the severity of disease and the degree of compensation by cardiopulmonary system. Normal blood gases do not mean that there is an absence of disease because the homeostatic system can compensate. However, an abnormal arterial blood gas value reflects uncompensated disease that might be life threatening.

“…Bacterial or atypical bacterial pathogens commonly responsible for CAP in the patient stable enough to be treated outpatient include Streptococcus pneumoniae , Haemophilus influenzae , Chlamydophila pneumoniae , Moraxella catarrhalis , and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Brashers, ). Respiratory viruses also cause CAP in the outpatient population and include viruses such as influenza A and B, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza virus (Mandell et al., ; Miskovich‐Riddle & Keresztes, ).…”

Purpose Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a serious illness and hospitalization for this illness is expensive. There is much the nurse practitioner (NP) can do to prevent and manage this illness. Data sources Review of current literature, medical/nursing references, and data from the healthcare utilization project (HCUP). Conclusions The use of health promotion, risk stratification, and current evidence‐based treatment guidelines can help to decrease hospitalization rates for CAP for adults. Implications for practice NPs are experts at health promotion and evidence‐based practice. Adhering to these practices and using risk stratification, NPs can help to further decrease hospitalization rates for CAP lowering healthcare costs related to this serious illness.

Definitive AIDS Diagnosis (With or without laboratory evidence of HIV infection.)• Candidiasis of esophagus, trachea, bronchi, or lungs.• Cryptococcosis, extrapulmonary.• Cryptosporidiosis with diarrhea persisting for more than 1 month.• Cytomegalovirus infection of an organ other than the liver, spleen, or lymph nodes. • Herpes simplex virus infection causing a mucocutaneous ulcer that persists more than 1 month, or bronchitis, pneumonia, or esophagitis of any duration. • Kaposi sarcoma in a patient less than 60 years of age.• Lymphoma of the brain (primary) in a patient less than 60 years of age.• Mycobacterium avium complex or Mycobacterium kansasii infection, disseminated (at a site other than or in addition to the lungs, skin, or cervical or hilar lymph nodes). • Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia.• Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.• Toxoplasmosis of the brain. Definitive AIDS Diagnosis (With laboratory evidence of HIV infection.)• Coccidioidomycosis, disseminated (at a site other than or in addition to the lungs or cervical or hilar lymph nodes). • HIV encephalopathy.• Histoplasmosis, disseminated (at a site other than or in addition to the lungs or cervical or hilar lymph nodes). • Isosporiasis with diarrhea persisting more than 1 month.• Kaposi sarcoma at any age.• Lymphoma of the brain (primary) at any age.• Other non-Hodgkin lymphoma of B cell or unknown immunologic phenotype.
