1 Chapter 14 Bronchiectasis
C A B E D Figure 14–1. Bronchiectasis. A, Varicose bronchiectasis. B, Cylindrical bronchiectasis. C, Saccular bronchiectasis. Also illustrated are excessive bronchial secretions (D) and atelectasis (E), which are both common anatomic alterations of the lungs in this disease.

2 Three Forms of Bronchiectasis
Varicose bronchiectasis Cylindrical bronchiectasis Saccular bronchiectasis

3 Anatomic Alterations of the Lungs
Chronic dilation and distortion of bronchial airways Excessive production of often foul-smelling sputum Smooth muscle constriction of bronchial airways Hyperinflation of alveoli (air-trapping) Atelectasis, consolidation, and parenchymal fibrosis Hemorrhage secondary to bronchial arterial erosion

4 Etiology Acquired bronchiectasis Congenital bronchiectasis
Recurrent pulmonary infection Bronchial obstruction Congenital bronchiectasis Kartagener’s syndrome Hypogammaglobulinemia Cystic fibrosis

5 Overview of the Cardiopulmonary Clinical Manifestations Associated with BRONCHIECTASIS
The following clinical manifestations result from the pathophysiologic mechanisms caused (or activated) by Atelectasis (see Figure 9-12), Consolidation (see Figure 9-8), Bronchospasm (see Figure 9-10), and Excessive Bronchial Secretions (see Figure 9-11)—the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with bronchiectasis (see Figure 14-1).

11 Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside
Vital signs Increased respiratory rate Increased heart rate, cardiac output, blood pressure

12 Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside
Use of accessory muscles of inspiration Use of accessory muscles of expiration Pursed-lip breathing Increased anteroposterior chest diameter (barrel chest) Cyanosis Digital clubbing

13 Figure 2-36. The way a patient may appear when using the pectoralis major muscles for inspiration.

14 Figure A, Schematic illustration of alveolar compression of weakened bronchiolar airways during normal expiration in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (e.g., emphysema). B, Effects of pursed-lip breathing. The weakened bronchiolar airways are kept open by the effects of positive pressure created by pursed lips during expiration.

16 Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside
Peripheral edema and venous distention Distended neck veins Pitting edema Enlarged and tender liver

19 Cough, sputum production, and hemoptysis
A chronic cough with production of large quantities of foul-smelling sputum is a hallmark of bronchiectasis

20 Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside
Chest assessment findings (primarily obstructive) Decreased tactile and vocal fremitus Hyperresonant percussion note Diminished breath sounds Rhonchi and Wheezing

21 Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient’s Bedside
Chest assessment findings (primarily restrictive) Increased tactile and vocal fremitus Bronchial breath sounds Crackles Whispered pectoriloquy Dull percussion note

22 Figure 2-12. Percussion becomes more hyperresonant with alveolar hyperinflation.

23 Figure As air trapping and alveolar hyperinflation develop in obstructive lung diseases, breath sounds progressively diminish.

38 Figure 14-2. Cylindrical bronchiectasis
Figure Cylindrical bronchiectasis. Left posterior oblique projection of a left bronchogram showing cylindrical bronchiectasis affecting the whole of the lower lobe except for the superior segment. Few side branches fill. Basal airways are crowded together, indicating volume loss of the lower lobe, a common finding in bronchiectasis. (From Armstrong P et al: Imaging of diseases of the chest, ed 2, St. Louis, 1995, Mosby.)

39 Figure 14-3. Saccular bronchiectasis
Figure Saccular bronchiectasis. Right lateral bronchogram showing saccular bronchiectasis affecting mainly the lower lobe and posterior segment of the upper lobe. (From Armstrong P et al: Imaging of diseases of the chest, ed 2, St. Louis, 1995, Mosby.)

40 Figure 14-4. Varicose bronchiectasis
Figure Varicose bronchiectasis. Left posterior oblique projection of left bronchogram in a patient with the ciliary dyskinesia syndrome. All basal bronchi are affected by varicose bronchiectasis. (From Armstrong P et al: Imaging of diseases of the chest, ed 2, St. Louis, 1995, Mosby.)

41 Figure 14-5. Bronchiectasis. High-resolution thin-section (1
Figure Bronchiectasis. High-resolution thin-section (1.5-mm) computed tomographic (HRCT) scan showing numerous oval and rounded ring opacities in the left lower lobe. The right lung appears normal. The fact that the airways tend to be arranged in a linear fashion and have walls of more than hairline thickness helps distinguish these bronchiectatic airways from cysts or bullae. (From Armstrong P, Wilson AG, Dee P: Imaging of diseases of the chest, St. Louis, 1990, Mosby.)

42 General Management of Bronchiectasis
General treatment includes: Controlling pulmonary infections Controlling airway secretions Preventing complications

43 General Management of Bronchiectasis
