Common side effects of Protonix IV include redness/pain/swelling at the injection site, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, dizziness, or joint pain. Long-term treatment with Protonix may make it harder for your body to absorb vitamin B-12, resulting in a deficiency of this vitamin.
The word rales derives from the French word rÃ¢le meaning rattle. Crackles can be heard in patients with pneumonia, atelectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, acute bronchitis, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease or post thoracotomy or metastasis ablation.
As a patient's condition worsens further, the fluid may leak into the lungs. The patient now has pulmonary edema, and those lung sounds may even be heard on expiration. At that point, they are classified as SUB-CREPITANT crackles. Sometimes an isolated area of crepitant crackles can be found in an upper lung field.
