2. Emphysema

3. Emphysema Definition
• Definition: An
infection in the
pleural
space, causing
pus
accumulation.
• Type of chronic
obstructive
pulmonary
disease
(COPD): Airflo
w blockage
and breathing
problems.

4. Normal alveoli and emphysema

5. Emphysema Definition
• An
infection in the pleural
space, causing pus
accumulation.
• Type of
chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease
(COPD): Airflow
blockage and breathing
problems.

6. Emphysema Prevalence
More common in
men than women

7. Emphysema Prevalence
• 4th leading
cause of death in the
United States
• Estimated
16 million Americans
have COPD, including
emphysema

8. Anatomy and Function of Alveoli
• The
alveoli are the basic
units of gas exchange
in the lungs.
• They are
tiny, balloon-like
structures that are
surrounded by a
network of capillaries.
• The
alveoli are filled with
air, and the capillaries
are filled with blood.
• Gas
exchange occurs
through the walls of the
alveoli and the
capillaries.
• Oxygen
from the air diffuses
into the blood, and
carbon dioxide from
the blood diffuses into
the air.

9. Gas exchange process
• Gas exchange occurs
through the process of
diffusion.
• Oxygen from the air
diffuses into the blood,
and carbon dioxide from
the blood diffuses into
the air.
• The rate of diffusion is
determined by the
concentration gradient
of the gases.
• The concentration
gradient of oxygen is
higher in the air than in
the blood, so oxygen
diffuses from the air into
the blood.
• The concentration
gradient of carbon
dioxide is higher in the
blood than in the air, so
carbon dioxide diffuses
from the blood into the
air.

10. Normal and abnormal respiration
• In emphysema,
the alveoli are
damaged, which
makes it difficult
for them to
expand and
contract.
• This leads to air
trapping and
hyperinflation of
the lungs.
• As a result, gas
exchange is
impaired, and the
body does not
receive enough
oxygen.

11. Emphysema Causes
•
Smoki
ng: The leading
cause, of damaging
alveoli over time.
•
Polluti
on: Exposure to air
pollutants irritates
and inflames lung
tissues.
• Age:
Natural decline in
lung function
increases
susceptibility.
• Alpha-
1 Antitrypsin (AAT)
Deficiency: Genetic
condition leading to
enzyme deficiency
and emphysema
development.

12. Emphysema Risk factors
• Asthma: Pre-existing
condition can worsen
emphysema
symptoms.
• Smoking: Synergistic
effect with other risk
factors.
• Chemical
Exposure: Occupatio
nal exposure to
irritants can damage
lung tissues.
• Pollution: Increases
risk, especially in
high-pollution
environments.
• Age: Ageing lungs
are more susceptible
to damage and
emphysema
development.
• AAT
Deficiency: Genetic
predisposition
significantly increases
risk.

13. Emphysema Pathogenesis
• Emphysema is caused
by the destruction of
the alveolar walls.
• This destruction can be
caused by several
factors, including:
o Smoking:
o Alpha-1
antitrypsin
deficiency:
o Exposure to air
pollution:

14. Emphysema Pathogenesis
• Once the alveolar
walls are destroyed,
they cannot be
repaired.
• This leads to the
formation of larger
air spaces and a
loss of surface area
for gas exchange.
• As a result, the
lungs become less
efficient at taking in
oxygen and
releasing carbon
dioxide.

15. Emphysema Symptoms
•
Productiv
e cough (with phlegm)
• Wheezing
and shortness of breath
• Chest
pain or tightness
• Bluish
discoloration of fingers
and lips (cyanosis)

16. Emphysema Types
• Panacinar: Unifor
m destruction of
alveoli
throughout all
lung lobes.
• Centriacinar: Da
mage primarily
affects the
central regions of
the lung.
• Paraseptal: Alve
olar destruction
starts near the
walls of the
airways.

17. Emphysema Diagnosis
Lung function
tests: Spirometry
measures airflow
limitation.

18. Bronchodilators
•
Bronchod
ilators are medications
that relax the smooth
muscles in the airways.
• This
helps to open the
airways and make it
easier for air to flow in
and out of the lungs.
•
Bronchod
ilators are commonly
used to treat
emphysema and other
COPD symptoms.

19. Bronchodilators
• There are two main
types of
bronchodilators:
o Beta-
agonists:
These
medications
work by
mimicking the
effects of
adrenaline.
o Anticholinergi
cs: These
medications
work by
blocking the
effects of
acetylcholine,
a
neurotransmit
ter that
causes the
airways to
constrict.

20. Oxygen therapy
Supplementation for
patients with oxygen
deficiency.

21. Pulmonary rehabilitation
: Exercise training
and education
program to
improve quality of
life.

22. Emphysema Prevention
• Smoking
cessation: The most
effective prevention
measure.
• Immunizations: Vac
cination against
respiratory
infections.
• Regular
monitoring: Early
detection and
management of
symptoms.
• Physical
activity: Improves
lung function and
overall health.
