Problems with bronchial tubes

    • What is acute bronchitis?

      Acute Bronchitis Acute bronchitis is the sudden onset of inflammation in the major airways (bronchial tubes) of the lungs. It usually starts with an infection in the nose or throat which then travels to the bronchial tubes. When the body tries to fight the infection, it causes these tubes to swell which triggers you to cough.


    • What are the different types of bronchial blockers?

      There are three different methods that can be used to achieve lung isolation and OLV: double lumen tubes (DLTs), bronchial blockers (BBs), and single lumen tubes (SLTs) advanced into either of the right or left main-stem bronchus. Each of these devices have their own advantages and disadvantages and are discussed below.

    • Do bronchodilators help bronchitis?

      Bronchodilators are medicines used to open up the airways (for example, Salbutamol/Ventolin). They are not usually helpful to reduce a cough in people with acute bronchitis, but may reduce wheezing or chest tightness in some patients. Cough suppressants Cough suppressants often make little difference to people who have acute bronchitis.

      These tubes look like the roots of a tree . They are lined with tiny hair-like fibers called cilia . The cilia help to move mucus through the bronchial tubes so it can be coughed out . Once the air passes through the bronchial tubes, it ends in the alveoli . These are air sacs at the very end of the bronchial tubes .

      Your airways are the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. There are two main problems in asthma: swelling and increased mucus (inflammation) in the airways, and squeezing of the muscles around the airways (bronchospasm). These problems can make it hard to breathe. Taking medicines and avoiding things
