Bacterial tracheitis Bacterial tracheitis is a bacterial infection of the Vertebrate trachea trachea and is capable of producing airway obstruction. One of the most common causes is Staphylococcus aureus and often follows a recent viral upper respiratory infection. It is the most serious in young children, possibly because of the relatively small size of the trachea that gets easily blocked by swelling. The most frequent sign is the rapid development of stridor . It is occasionally confused with croup . Symptoms Increasing deep or barking croup cough following a previous upper respiratory infection Crowing sound when inhaling inspiratory stridor scratchy feeling in the throat Chest pain Fever Ear ache Trouble breathing Headache Dizziness light headed Intercostal retractions Treatment In more severe cases, it is treated by admission to an intensive care unit ICU and intubation is performed and various monitors and tubes are used to check on the condition e.g. cardiac heart monitor chest drain so tension pneumothorax or pneumothorax or pneumonia doesn t form while ventilated.

Infobox Disease Name Airway obstruction Image Caption DiseasesDB ICD10 ICD9 ICDO OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj eMedicineTopic MeshID D000402 Unreferenced date June 2008 Airway obstruction is a Respiration physiology respiratory problem caused by increased resistance in the bronchiole s usually from a decreased radius of the bronchioles that reduces the amount of air inhaled in each breath and the Breathing gas oxygen that reaches the Pulmonary artery pulmonary arteries . It is different from airway restriction which prevents air from diffusing into the pulmonary arteries because of some kind of blockage in the lungs . Diagnosis Obstruction can be measured using spirometry . A decreased FEV1 FVC ratio versus the normal of about 80 is indicative of an airway obstruction, as the normal amount of air can no longer be exhaled in the first second of expiration. An airway restriction would not produce a reduced FEV1 FVC ratio, would produce a reduced vital capacity . The ventilation is therefore affected leading to a ventilation perfusion mismatch and hypoxia.

A smoke composition is a pyrotechnic composition designed primarily to generate smoke . Smoke compositions are used as obscurants or for generation of signaling smokes. Some are used as a payload of smoke bomb s and smoke grenade s. Obscurants main Smoke screen Smoke compositions used as obscurants generate large amount of thick, usually white, smoke. The most common smoke composition for pyrotechnic generation of smoke screen s is the zinc chloride smoke mixture HC . Zinc chloride smoke taken from smoke screen Zinc chloride smoke is grey white and consists of tiny particles of zinc chloride . The most common mixture for generating these is the zinc chloride smoke mixture HC , consisting of hexachloroethane , grained aluminium and zinc oxide . The smoke consists of zinc chloride, zinc oxychlorides, and hydrochloric acid , which absorb the humidity moisture in the air. The smoke also contains traces of organic chlorinated compounds, phosgene , carbon monoxide , and chlorine . Its toxicity is caused mainly by the content of strongly acidic hydrochloric acid, but also due to thermal effects of reaction of zinc chloride with water. These effects cause lesion s of the mucous membrane s of the upper airways. Damage of the lower airways can manifest itself later as well, due to fine particles of zinc chloride and traces of phosgene. In high concentrations the smoke can be very dangerous when inhaled. Symptoms include dyspnea , retrosternal pain, hoarseness , stridor , lachrymation , cough , expectoration , and in some cases haemoptysis . Delayed pulmonary edema , cyanosis or bronchopneumonia may develop. The smoke and the spent canisters contain suspected carcinogen s. The prognosis for the casualties depends on the degree of the pulmonary damage. All exposed individuals should be kept under observation for 8 hours. Most affected individuals recover within several days, with some symptoms persisting for up to 1 2 weeks. Severe cases can suffer of reduced pulmonary function ... more details
