Pathophysiology
Holistic Nursing
Interventions
1) Inhaled pathogens that go past the normal immune defense mechanisms
2) When mechanisms fail, this causes inflammation in the lungs
3) Macrophages (defense mechanism) fail as well and trigger the inflammation
4) Macrophages engulf the pathogens
5) T-Cells trigger the defense mechanism that causes congestion and the beginning of congestion
Diagnostics
Stages of Lobar Pneumonia
1) Congestion: accumulation of alveolar fluid-filled with infective organisms
2) Red Hepaitzation: infiltration of red blood cells, lungs appear red
3) Gray Hepaitzation: red blood cells breakdown, pus-filled air sacs
4) Resolution: clearing of the fluid by the macrophages
