GENERAL OBJECTIVES: > Enhance awareness and knowledge regarding Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) and the Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) >Comprehend and recognize salient points that are important to remember in dealing with patients who

manifest signs and symptoms of PTB and MDRTB; its causes and nature, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests medical and nursing management, prevention of spread and the protection for healthcare providers SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: a. Review the anatomy and physiology of the system involved respiratory system which includes the lungs The Respiratory System moves air into and out of the lungs, which are the site of exchange for oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood. Upper Respiratory Tract consists of the parts outside the chest cavity: nose and nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, and upper trachea. Lower Respiratory Tract consists of the parts found within the chest cavity: lower 5 minutes Lecture/ Active Discussion Sanders, et al. Essential s of Anatomy and Physiolog y. 5th Edition

trachea, lungs which include the bronchial tubes and alveoli. A.


Nose made of bone and cartilage covered with skin; hairs inside the nostrils block the entry of the dust; used for breathing and smelling.

B.

Nasal Cavities it is within the skull; nasal mucosa (lining) warms and moistens the incoming air and dust & microorganisms are trapped on mucus. Pharynx posterior to nasal and oral cavities Nasopharynx-located above the soft palate which blocks it during swallowing; passageway for air only. Oropharynx-located behind the mouth; a passageway for both air and food. Laryngopharynx-opens anteriorly into the larynx and posteriorly to the esophagus.

C.

D.

Larynx an airway between the pharynx and the trachea; the voice box; during speaking, the vocal cords are pulled across the glottis and vibrated by the exhaled air, producing sounds.

E.

Trachea extends from the larynx to the primary bronchi; its mucosa is ciliated to sweep mucus, trapped dust, and microorganisms upward to the pharynx. Bronchial tree the right and left primary bronchi are branches of the trachea; secondary bronchi: to the lobes of each lung (Right-3 lobes; Left-2 lobes); bronchioles: smaller branches. Lungs on either side of the heart in the chest cavity extending from the diaphragm below up to the level of the clavicles.

H.

Alveoli functional units of the lungs; sites of gas exchange in the lungs

b. Define Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) is an infectious disease that primarily affects the lung parenchyma (Brunner, et al, 2010). It is a contagious bacterial infection that mainly involves the lungs, but may spread to other organs.

cavities, scar tissue, and calcium deposits. Sputum testing for acid-fast bacilli is another test that helps confirm a TB diagnosis. The Mantoux skin test also known as a tuberculin skin test (TST or PPD test): This test helps identify people infected with M. tuberculosis but who have no symptoms. QuantiFERON-TB Gold test: This is a blood test that aids in the diagnosis of TB. The body responds to the presence of the tuberculosis bacteria. By special techniques, the patient's blood is incubated with proteins from TB bacteria. If the bacteria are in the patient, the immune cells in the blood sample respond to these proteins with the production of a substance called interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). This substance is detected by the test. If someone had a prior BCG and a positive skin test due to this, the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test will not detect any IFN-gamma. 5 minutes Lecture/ Active Discussion

g. Discuss the Pharmacological Treatment medical management The goal of treatment is to cure the infection with drugs that fight the TB bacteria. Treatment of for patients with PTB active pulmonary TB will always involve a combination of many drugs. All of the drugs are continued until lab tests show which medicines work best. Directly Observed Treatment-Short course (DOTS) is central to TB prevention and treatment, and it involves having TB patients travel to a health care facility to receive their medications under the supervision of health care personnel that will ensure that medications are taken in the correct order and for the correct duration. According to the WHO, DOTS consists of five main components: Government commitment, case detection through qualityassured bacteriology, standardized treatment with supervision and patient support, an

effective drug supply and management system, and a standardized recording and reporting system allowing assessment of treatment (World Health Organization, 2009). The most commonly used drugs include:

Isonizid Rifampicin Pyrazinamide

h. Be familiar of the term MDR TB which stands for Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis

MDR-TB is a major public health problem that threatens the success of DOTS, the WHOrecommended treatment approach for detection and cure of TB, as well as global tuberculosis control. Drug resistance arises due to the improper use of antibiotics in chemotherapy of drugsusceptible TB patients. This improper use is a result of a number of actions, including administration of improper treatment regimens by health-care workers and failure to ensure that patients complete the whole course of treatment. Essentially, drug resistance arises in areas with poor TB control programs. The development of drug-resistant TB is the consequence of poor adherence to medical

treatment, inappropriate prescription and irregular availability of medication, poor drug availability, as well as poor medication quality. Resistance develops when bacterial growths susceptible to a medication are suppressed, but the drug-resistant mutants are not eliminated from the patient. Different strains of Multidrug-Resistant M. Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are able to evolve due to sequential mutations in target genes, and these resistant bacilli can subsequently be transmitted to other people. These resistant strains can withstand the most-effective and first line antiTB drugs. The treatment of MDR-TB requires more expensive second-line drugs which have more side effects (World Health Organization, 2009). The second-line anti-TB drugs that are available for approved programs are:

kanamycin, powder for injection 1 gram vial capreomycin, powder for injection 1 gram vial cycloserin, 250 mg capsule

ethionamide, 250 mg tablet protionamide, 250 mg tablet levofloxacin, 250 and 500 mg tablet ofloxacin, 200 mg tablet PASER, 4 gram granule sachet

i. Identify the different nursing management for PTB patients and prevention of transmission

Nursing Management Promoting Airway Clearance Increase oral fluid intake within cardiac tolerance to promote systemic hydration and to serve as an effective expectorant Place patient in an a high fowlers position to promote lung expansion, thus, reducing the work needed for breathing Perform back tapping and vibrations Provide nebulization oxygenation and

Advocating Adherence to Treatment Regimen Teach the patient that Tuberculosis is a communicable disease Inform him that the most effective means of preventing transmission Reinforce patient to complete the course of treatment by not skipping or stopping the drug Instruct patient to take the medication either on an empty stomach or at least 1 hour before meals since food can interfere with the medication absorption. However, if he complained of gastrointestinal upset, give drugs with food Communicate therapeutically Introduce to the patient that there are programs by the government that could help them in complying to the treatment regimen such as the

department of health promoting Directly Observe Treatment-Short course (DOTS) and improve his access to this services Teach the patient about the importance of taking all prescribed medications because the bacteria that causes TB grows slowly and requires a long time to be eliminated Tell patient that if he could not comply with his medications especially if it is not strictly and continuously followed, it will exacerbate making it more difficult to kill the causative agent, thus, drug resistance will occur; more expensive second line of drugs and results to higher bills during long stay in the hospital May conduct home visits if not admitted for continuous treatment Monitor for the side effects and adverse reactions of the anti-TB medicine Monitor liver enzymes, Blood Urea Nitrogen, and serum Creatinine

levels to detect changes in liver and kidney function Sputum culture results are monitored for acid-fast bacilli to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment regimen Promoting activity and adequate nutrition Plan and perform a progressive activity schedule that focuses on increasing activity tolerance and muscle strength such as ambulation, range of motion exercises, daily routine such as bathing,toileting, and other self-care activities Assess patient with his willingness to eat that may be altered by fatigue from excessive coughing and chest pain Explain the importance of a nutritious diet including fruits and vegetables for proper nutrition to improve his nutritional status and aid in fighting off infection for the body to heal Monitor patients weight for improvement or maintenance Give small, frequent meals and

administer vitamin supplements to meet basic caloric requirements Preventing spreading of Tuberculosis Infection Teach the patient about importance of hygiene measures, including mouth care, covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing by a tissue, proper disposal of waste materials used into a closed plastic bag, and handwashing The disease must be reported to a health department so that people who have been in contact with the affected patient during infectious stage could undergo screening and possible treatment, if indicated j. Remember selfprotection at all times Reminders for Health Care Providers Compliance with universal precautions, hand washing, vaccination and appropriate isolation can markedly reduce the transmission of occupationally acquired infections. Even the simple routine of regular hand washing can reduce the risk of acquiring or transmitting infections. Vaccination should be, and generally is, 5 minutes Lecture/ Discussion Brunner, et al. Textbook of MedicalSurgical Nursing. 12th Edition

provided to all health workers but, despite its availability, compliance is low. BCG vaccination against TB is recommended by some institutions, although its overall protective effect in preventing TB is only 51%. However, regular 6 to 12 monthly Mantoux testing should be encouraged for all health care workers. The adoption of universal precautions is a logical and generally applicable method of reducing the transmission of occupationally acquired infections. Use of protective clothing such as gowns, masks, goggles and gloves all help to reduce contamination by body secretions from patients. Health authorities should have protocols for the management of patients who pose a high risk of infection, the treatment of personnel who sustain exposure to contaminated material, and insurance for staff who acquire work-related infections. Health professionals must realize that failure to comply with these strategies can mean that it is not only their livelihood which is being put at risk, but their life as well.
