  • What are the three types of bronchiectasis?

    Three basic morphologic types of bronchiectasis that are recognized at CT are cylindrical, varicose, and cystic (Fig 2), and many patients have a combination of these three classic types.

    Which form of bronchiectasis causes the greatest amount of damage to the tracheobronchial tree?

    Cystic Bronchiectasis (Saccular Bronchiectasis) In cystic (saccular) bronchiectasis, the bronchi progressively increase in diameter until they end in large, cystlike sacs in the lung parenchyma. This form of bronchiectasis causes the greatest damage to the tracheobronchial tree.

    Which of the following is the usual characteristic of the sputum of a patient with bronchiectasis?

    The classic clinical manifestations of bronchiectasis are cough and daily mucopurulent sputum production, often lasting months to years. Blood-streaked sputum or hemoptysis may result from airway damage associated with acute infection.

    Which of the following is the usual characteristic of the sputum of a patient with bronchiectasis quizlet?

    The usual characteristic of the sputum of a patient with bronchiectasis? It is usually voluminous and tends to settle into several different layers. A patient with severe bronchiectasis may have the following signs: distended neck veins, pitting edema, enlarged and tender liver.
