Key Points about Bronchitis

• Definition: Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, leading to coughing and mucus production. It can be classified into acute or chronic forms.
• Causes: Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viral infections, while chronic bronchitis is associated with long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke or pollution.
• Symptoms: Cough (with or without sputum), wheezing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Fever may also be present in acute bronchitis.
• Diagnosis: Diagnosis is primarily clinical based on symptoms. In chronic cases, spirometry and imaging (e.g., chest X-ray) may be used to assess lung function and rule out other conditions.
• Management: Acute bronchitis is often self-limiting, with treatment focused on symptom relief (e.g., cough suppressants, rest, fluids). In chronic cases, smoking cessation, bronchodilators, and pulmonary rehabilitation are key components of management.
• Complications: In chronic bronchitis, complications include respiratory failure, recurrent infections, and progression to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

We hope you find these resources helpful as you prepare for the MSRA. Be sure to explore other respiratory-related topics for a comprehensive understanding of respiratory conditions.
