💥COPD [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ https://bit.ly/3e90oqs
COPD is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States. It is caused by exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and chemical fumes. The symptoms of COPD typically don’t appear until middle age, and the disease progressively gets worse over time.
🟦 Types of COPD
- Emphysema
- Chronic bronchitis
🟦 Emphysema
Emphysema is an obstructive disease that results in increased lung expansion due to air trapping.
🟦 Chronic Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is a type of COPD that is characterized by increased mucus production in the trachea and bronchi.
➡️ Appearance
A patient with emphysema is often referred to as a pink puffer. That is because they have red or pinkish skin and a barrel chest due to increased lung volumes.
➡️ Cough
Patients with emphysema generally only cough up a small amount of secretions, while patients with chronic bronchitis cough up copious amounts.
➡️ Breath Sounds
Patients with emphysema tend to have diminished breath sounds on auscultation, while patients with chronic bronchitis have rhonchi, crackles, and wheezes.
➡️ Respiratory Pattern
Patients with emphysema often show signs of severe respiratory distress. This includes pursed-lip breathing and the use of accessory breathing muscles. This is not the case for patients with chronic bronchitis, as they tend to only show signs of mild respiratory distress and the use of accessory muscles is less common.
➡️ Pulmonary Function Tests
Since both emphysema and chronic bronchitis are obstructive diseases, both will result in decreased flow rates and an FEV1% of less than 70% after a bronchodilator treatment.
➡️ Treatment
COPD cannot be cured, but there are a number of treatment options available to help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
