dc.description | The present case report concerns a 37-year-old male patient diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). CAP is an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma, its main agent is the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae that affects non-hospitalized patients and is characterized by the appearance of fever and/or respiratory symptoms, together with the presence of pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray. This clinical case was proposed with the aim of identifying the degree of pulmonary involvement of the patient and how the patient should be approached as a respiratory therapist. The symptomatology of CAP is nonspecific and its diagnosis is based on a set of signs and symptoms related to lower respiratory tract infection and general condition, including fever (>38°C), cough, expectoration, chest pain, dyspnea or tachypnea, and signs of alveolar space occupation. The treatment instituted was high-flow oxygen therapy emerges as an alternative to conventional oxygen therapy in patients with acute respiratory failure, especially when other rescue therapies have been questioned for their high particle dispersion. High-flow oxygen therapy consists of the application of a gas flow of up to 60 L/min through nasal cannulas. The conclusion of the study is that the patient was stabilized by high-flow oxygen therapy treatment. | es_ES |

dc.description.abstract | El presente caso clínico trata de un paciente de sexo masculino de 37 años que ha sido diagnosticado con neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC). La (NAC) es una infección aguda del parénquima pulmonar, su principal agente es la bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae que afecta a pacientes no hospitalizados y que se caracteriza por la aparición de fiebre y/o síntomas respiratorios, junto con la presencia de infiltrados pulmonares en la radiografía de tórax. Este caso clínico se propuso con el objetivo de identificar el grado de afectación pulmonar del paciente y como se debe abordarlo como terapista respiratorio. La sintomatología de la NAC es inespecífica y su diagnóstico se basa en un conjunto de signos y síntomas relacionadas con una infección de vías respiratorias bajas y afectación del estado general, incluyendo fiebre (>38°C), tos, expectoración, dolor torácico, disnea o taquipnea, y signos de ocupación del espacio alveolar. El tratamiento que se instauro fue la oxigenoterapia de alto flujo emerge como una alternativa a la oxigenoterapia convencional en pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda, especialmente cuando otras terapias de rescate han sido cuestionadas por su alta dispersión de partículas. La oxigenoterapia de alto flujo consiste en la aplicación de un flujo de gas de hasta 60 L/min mediante cánulas nasales. La conclusión del estudio es que se logró estabilizar al paciente por medio del tratamiento de la oxigenoterapia de alto flujo. | es_ES |
