SOAP ANALYSIS

SUBJECTIVE DATA-

Here is a 76 yrs old male patient hospitalized for 9 days with complaints of breathlessness and cough with expectoration since 3 days.

OBJECTIVE DATA-

The

T

otal

L

eukocyte

Count (12,800)

is increased- which indicates infection/ inflammation.

The

ESR (30)

values are increased - which indicates infection.

The

Neutrophil

(82)

values are increased- Neutrophil values are increased in COPD conditions.

Chest X- Ray indicates presence of mild pleural effusion in the right lung

ASSESSMENT-

1.

Breathlessness

- it occurs due to excessive mucous production and mucous plugging in the airways. (in COPD there will be hypertrophy of the mucous glands and goblet cells causing excessive production of mucous, there would also be impairment in the mucociliary function hence the mucous is not expelled out causing airway obstruction of airways).

2.

Cough with Expectoration

- cough is the protective reflux of the body to expel out sputum, through the activation of mechano and chemoreceptor present in the airways.

3.

COPD

- it is a progressive, irreversible chronic obstructive airway disorder characterized by airway obstruction.

Here the patient is a chronic smoker since 25 yrs. So smoking could be the possible etiology involved in the causation of COPD. Smoking generates release of oxidants. These oxidants react with various proteins and lipids in the cell leading to the cell and tissue damage. Oxidants also promote inflammation by release of various chemical mediators like TNF-

α

and IL-8, through the activation of neutrophils. Oxidants due to smoking also causes the imbalance of protease and antiprotease.

4.

PARKINSONISM

-

It occurs due to lack of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Thereby deficiency of dopamine occurs due to which there will be a loss of control of muscle tone and coordination of movements.

Imbalance between neurotransmitters like dopamine and acetyl choline .

INTERVENTION

-

Note- corticosteroid is usually given in the treatment of COPD, but the drug was not given during the patient hospitalization.

PATIENT COUNSELLING-

Medication

-

Take

rantac

daily after breakfast.

Take

syndopa

thrice daily after food. This drug can cause drowsiness in the daytime hence driving vehicle or running any machinery should be avoided.

Take

theophylline

on empty stomach.

Take 2 to 3 puffs of

duolin nebulizer for every 6 hours.Take tablet D3 daily morning after breakfast.Use caution while rising from sitting position.

Disease

-

Avoid stress

Avoid smoking/ abstain from smoking

Avoid exposure to allergens/ smoke

Strict adherence to medications is encouraged.

Help the patient improve perception of the disease through education.
