Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Chronic obstructive Pulmonary conception calculator Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Chronic obstructive Pulmonary conception calculator Disease - COPD) is a disease that can be prevented and treated, the disease makes it difficult to push all the air out of the lungs. The difficulty of pushing all the air out of the lungs (airway obstruction) can lead to difficulty breathing conception calculator or feel tired because you have to breathe harder. COPD is a term used including chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema or combine these two conditions. Asthma is a disease that is difficult to push all the air out of the lungs, but not in the definition of asthma COPD. However, there is rarely a COPD patient with asthma at some point.
Chronic bronchitis is swelling and produces phlegm (mucus) increase in the respiratory tract. Obstructive airways occurs in chronic bronchitis caused by swelling and talks lumen smaller than normal respiration. Diagnosis of chronic bronchitis based on the symptoms cough almost every day, for three months, two years or more (after conception calculator other causes of cough excluded).
Pulmonary emphysema (emphysema) conception calculator is a condition involving damage to the alveoli of the lungs. Normally there are over 300 million alveoli in the lungs. Alveoli often stretch conception calculator and elasticity, as small balls. As the ball, it takes effort blown normal bronchi; however, no loss of power to push air out of the alveoli because they shrink to its former conception calculator size. In pulmonary emphysema, the alveoli of some damaged. Then, the alveoli lose elasticity and keep the air again. So hard to push all the air out of the lungs do not push air out efficiently and therefore contain conception calculator more air than normal. This is called a trap air and cause pulmonary gas retention. conception calculator The combination of continuous service with more air in your lungs and make more effort to lead to respiratory patients feel shortness of breath. Obstructive airways occurs in pulmonary emphysema conception calculator because normal alveolar support for expanding the airway, can not do so while inhaling or exhaling. Without this support, the breathing tubes collapse, causing airflow conception calculator obstruction.
COPD can be caused by many factors, though the most common conception calculator cause is cigarette smoke. The environmental factors and genetic (gene) can also cause COPD. For example, heavy exposure to certain types of jobs dust, chemicals, air pollution outdoors or indoors may contribute to COPD. The reason why some smokers never arise COPD and why some people never smokers with COPD are not fully understood. The genetic factors (genes) may play a certain role in COPD who incurred. conception calculator
Shortness of breath, cough and / or phlegm is not an end, as the signs and symptoms of COPD, and the need to see a doctor and see if there is need for a breathing test called respiratory signed or not. Respiratory up a simple test measuring airway obstruction.
Treatment of the first and most important in smokers are quitting. These drugs are frequently prescribed to expand the airways (bronchodilators), reduce swelling in the airways (anti-inflammatory drugs, such as steroids), and / or treatment of infections (antibiotics). COPD can cause reduced oxygen levels in the blood; If this happens, oxygen therapy was prescribed. However, difficulty breathing happens with COPD whether you have high levels of oxygen. Shortness of breath conception calculator so not a good guide for the use of oxygen. To control the symptoms of COPD, respiratory drugs must be used every day, usually conception calculator for life. The cut lung surgery or lung transplantation conception calculator may be helpful for some cases of COPD.
The program pulmonary rehabilitation sports include guidance and education for people with respiratory problems. Support groups are available conception calculator for patients with COPD to education and opportunities to share experiences with other patients and families.
From chronic in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease means that it existed for a long time. While the symptoms may vary at different times, lung disease is, therefore, COPD lifetime. Sometimes the symptoms of COPD patients improved after smoking cessation and regular use of medication, the symptoms may improve further after participating in respiratory rehabilitation. Shortness of breath and fatigue never stopped conception calculator completely, but patients can learn to manage their condition and live comfortably.
