, Term 7 of 60
What are the signs and symptoms of a pneumothorax?
Chronic Cough and sputum production, cyanosis "blue bloaters" Shortness of breath
Wheezing
chest pain and respiratory distress, often with an increased heart rate (tachycardia) and
rapid breathing (tachypnea) quieter breath sounds on one side of the chest, low oxygen
levels and blood pressure, and displacement of the trachea away from the affected side.
Sharp chest pain followed by increasing Dyspnea after they cough **Tension
Pneumothorax Decreased or absent lung sounds Hemodynamic instability Altered

Genetic disorder. it is caused by a faulty gene that disrupts the movement of salts and
water in the bodies cells, making the mucus in people with cf thicker and stickier. The
sticky mucus mainly causes problems in the lungs.
Patients with cystic fibrosis have excessive mucus build-up in lungs and digestive tract.
This leads to many respiratory and digestive issues. Patients tend to have long history of
respiratory or digestive problems. Infants-tend to have odd-smelling, pale stools. Expect
oxygen therapy and deep suctioning.
