Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Neoplastic etiology is the study of the cause for the growth of the abnormal proliferation of malignant cells.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a condition that gradually decreases lung function. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema can be classified as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. COPD can be classified as mild, moderate, severe or very severe. Below is an explanation of the different stages of COPD: Stage One Or Mild COPD Coughing and mucus are some of the symptoms that may be present during the first stage of COPD. The COPD usually does not interfere with a person's life during this stage. In fact, many people do not even realize that they have COPD. Mild COPD can usually be treated with a short-acting bronchodilator. Stage Two Or Moderate COPD People who have moderate COPD may begin to experience shortness of breath during physical activity, such as climbing stairs. Mucus production becomes excessive during this stage. People may also notice that they are coughing a lot more than usual. Both short-acting and long-acting bronchodilators are used during this stage. People are also encourage to engage in moderate exercise so that they can maintain their lung function. Stage Three Or Severe COPD Severe COPD will have a negative impact on a person's life. People with severe COPD may not be able to complete normal activities without experiencing shortness of breath. Lung function is significantly reduced during this stage. Two or more bronchodilators are required to treat COPD. Patients will also need to attend pulmonary rehab. Furthermore, patients are at an increased risk for developing complications from the flu or pneumonia. That is why they will need to be vaccinated against both illnesses. Stage Four Or Very Severe COPD This is a very serious stage of COPD. Coughing, mucus production and shortness of breath will become chronic. In fact, a person may not even be able to eat without experiencing those symptoms. Inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators and oxygen therapy are recommended as treatment options. Surgery may also be needed to remove the damaged lung tissue.

Maybe, but you scare me asking a question like this, why WOULD you ask a question like this? -cries-

Many COPD patients have no history of smoking. What you are asking is whether high levels of oxygen are indicated for those with chronic lung pathologies. Regardless of WHY the patient is in distress, withholding oxygen to someone with demonstrated critically low oxygen levels does more harm than good. There are many confusing and contradictory statements made about oxygen delivery and many are based on bad assumptions.

To simplify the story:

1) one should have a means of determining low blood oxygen levels;

2) aim for a blood oxygen level of 90-94% or so;

3) just because you are delivering 100% oxygen in the mask doesn't mean that the patient is receiving 100% to the bloodstream (i.e. a 24% mask can deliver "too much" oxygen and a 100% mask may not deliver enough depending on their condition);

4) the conventional non-rebreather mask only delivers 55-60% oxygen at the best of times, proven by research;

5) most textbooks are not research and often quote oxygen levels using no references that support those claims (thereby perpetuating the myth);

6) the worst possible thing one can do is with-hold oxygen to someone demonstrating critically low blood oxygen levels...deliver what you can to get them to 90-94%.

A non-rebreather mask may not deliver enough oxygen to a patient as their condition worsens. Therefore, as long as you can demonstrate a "need" for oxygen, a non-rebreather mask may be perfectly acceptable and occasionally insufficient.

Chronic bronchitis is more common in people over 40 years old

• In COPD both airways and parenchyma are affected where in Asthma only airways are affected.
• In COPD it's formed as the dominant until body getting weak. Normally it's awake after an age of 40. In the case of Asthma, it's being active from the child.

It can not be spread to other people. Though any cold germs can be transmitted by coughing everywhere.

Humidly percentage is a simplistic weather statistic. Evey 17 degrees the capacity of the air to hold water doubles. Dew point accounts for a lot more weather physics. Research on google.

In general when the dew point inters the 60's and certainly the 70's it will be hard for a person with COPD to breath.

this means that his body is trying to compensate with the reduction in the ability to remove the carbon dioxide. its good that his body is still able to compensate the increase acid in his body due to inability to remove carbon dioxide.

An oxygen concentrator instead of bottled oxygen

yes

Although surgery is rarely used to treat COPD, it may be considered for people who have severe symptoms

There are alot of informations to find copd and thier efectiveness.You can try to look it up the internet or going to a doctor for more help.And try eating healthy.

False

NO

Chronic bronchitis can be serious in any animal including humans.

over six to seven years age.

Yes

88 to 93 o2

no

It means you have a sinus infection. Just make sure you cough it all up, and dont swallow it or it will not go away as fast as it will if you cough it up and spit it out.
