INTRODUCTION
Respiratory system can be defined as network of organs and tissues that assist in
breathing of people. Complete respiratory system involves airways, lungs and blood vessels and
muscle power of lungs is also part of respiratory system. Respiratory system of individuals can
lead to several health issues such as asthma, lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease and several other diseases. This study will discuss about health issues and
Pathophysiology of asthma a condition related to respiratory system and along with this will also
discuss major concepts based on literature reviewed. On the basis of literature reviewed nursing
management plan for patients with respiratory system will also be developed in this study.
MAIN BODY
Health issues and Pathophysiology
According to Gans and Gavrilova, (2020) Asthma is a chronic condition of airways and if
it is not treated adequately this can lead to chronic inflammation of airways and can result in
airways damage. Airway damage includes smooth muscle hypertrophy, epithelial hyperplasia
and airway connective tissue deposition. Alterations in airways are possibly a consequence of
repetitive and chronic inflammation of airways. Since early 1990 asthma is becoming prevalent
and Asthma is a disease that is most likely to get transferred through multiple dream having
some variation and locus heterogeneity and Polytechnic inheritance that leads to multifaceted
expression of asthma. In this atopy antibodies attack particulate antigen air pollutant and this
leads to development of disease. According to research asthma is closely related to total serum
level of IgE. Increasing response of IgE two different factors such as house dust farm animals’
animal allergens lead to sensitization of asthma and this exhibit symptoms of asthma and
increases reactivity of airways. However in relation with causality data available is very less
similarly causes of asthma and air pollution are also not adequately clear. However relationship
between smoking and increased risk of asthma have been found through research. Other than this
obesity also reflected positive linear relationship of asthma and increased BMI.
