Question | Answer |
COPD | preventable; treatable; air flow limitation that is not fully reversible; progressive; inflammatory response to noxious particles (usually smoking); includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis |
Emphysema | abnormal permanent enlargement of the air space diatal to terminal bronchioles; destruction of bronchioles w/o fibrosis |
Chronic Bronchitis | presence of chronic productive cough for 3 or more weeks for at least consecutive 2yrs |
Inflammation process of COPD | inhale noxious particles -> inflammatory cells released -> damage to tissues -> excess mucus production -> structural remodeling -> scar tissue -> fibrosis occurs |
Commmon characteristics of COPD | mucus hypersecretion, dysfunction of cilia, hyperinflation lungs, and gas exchange abnormalities |
Clinical Manifestations of COPD | cough (intermittent cough in the AM), sputum production, dyspnea, chest breathing, underweight w/adequate calorie intake, chronic fatigue, wheezing, decreased breath sounds, bluish-red color skin (polcythemia and cyanosis) |
Pulmonary Embolism | blockage of pulmonary arteries by a thrombus, fat, air embolus, or tumor; disrupts blood flow to a region of the lungs |
