Disease transmission/ prevention
1st line of Defense
• Skin 
– Barrier
• Mucus 
– Traps and removes
Inflammation
• “Non-specific”
response to injury
• WHY?
– Destroy pathogens
– Limit spread
– Begin to heal
Pathophysiology of Inflammation
• 3 step process
1. Vascular response
2. Cellular response
3. Healing
1. Vascular response
Injury 
Chemicals released 
• Histamine
• Bradykinin
• Prostaglandins
1. Vascular response
• Histamine 
• Dilate
–Vasodilation
•  h blood flow
•  h pressure
 Redness
1. Vascular response
• Bradykinin 
• h permeability
– capillaries leak
fluid into
surrounding tissue
• swelling
1. Vascular response
• Prostaglandins 
– h Pain
– h Temperature
• Pain
• Heat
• Loss of function
2. Cellular response
• h blood flow 
• h WBC
– Neutrophils:
• First responders!
• Move from blood
vessel  the
injured tissue
2. Cellular response (cont.)
• 2nd responders
– Monocytes 
(mature) 
MACROPHAGES
2. Cellular response (cont.)
• Neutrophils +
Macrophages
– Ingest
• bacteria and
• dead tissue
– PHAGOCYTOSIS
Cellular response (cont.)
• Neutrophils &
Macrophages eat
then die
•  Pus Formation
• “purulent
drainage”
3. Healing & Tissue repair
• Minor injury:
–Inflammatory
process heals
• Major injury
–New cells are
produced 
–Scar tissue
Classic Signs & Symptoms of
inflammation

Geriatric Inflammation
• In 25% of the
elderly, they do
not have an
elevated fever
even with a
serious infection

serious infection in
the elderly…

function
Small Group Questions
1. Define inflammation in your own words and
describe the pathophysiology of the inflammatory
response.
2. What are the cardinal signs of inflammation and
what causes each one of them?
3. What is phagocytosis? What cells “do it”?

inflammation, or are they?

Acute vs. Chronic
Acute inflammation

– h risk of poor wound
healing and infection

CDC Confirms Las Vegas Hepatitis
Outbreak Stemmed From Needle Reuse
Monday, May 19, 2008
• The CDC has confirmed that a Las Vegas hepatitis C outbreak was
caused by clinic workers improperly reusing syringes and medicine
vials.
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was contacted by
state health officials earlier this year after two people treated at the
now-closed Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada were diagnosed
with hepatitis C.
• Officials have linked 84 cases of the liver disease to the clinic after
notifying 50,000 patients of the clinic to be tested.
• CDC investigators said in a report to the Nevada State Health Division
that during visits to the clinic, they saw employees reusing syringes to
give a sedative and that interviews suggested it was common practice.
• "This was considered the most likely mode of transmission," the
report said.
Patient resuscitation
• Use a barrier or
bag
Respiratory hygiene
