Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)- Preeti sharmaEducate with smile
COPD is a type of obstructive lung disease and related conditions. it is very helpful presentation to you about information of COPD.
It includes all things that is definition, causes, symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluation, types, treatment and role of nurses for COPD patient.
What is emphysema?
Emphysema is a condition that forms part of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and involves the enlargement of the air sacs in the lung.
The alveoli at the end of the bronchioles of the lung become enlarged because of the breakdown of their walls. The fewer and larger damaged sacs that result mean there is a reduced surface area for the exchange of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of it.
Definition
Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli become stiff expands and continuously filled the air even after expiration. Emphysema is a chronic obstructive disease due to lack of elasticity in the lungs and alveoli surface area.
Classification
Panlobular (panacinar)
It is damage to the respiratory bronchi, alveolar ducts and alveoli. All air space in the little lobes much enlarged, with little inflammatory disease. The characteristics that have chest hyperinflation, and is characterized by dyspnea on exertion, and weight loss.
CENTRILOBULAR (CENTROACINAR)
The pathological changes mainly occur in the centre of the secondary lobes, and peripheral of acini remain good. Often there is chaos-ventilation perfusion ratio, which lead to hypoxia, hypercapnia (increased CO2 in the arterial blood), polycythaemia and heart failure episodes right. The condition leads to cyanosis, peripheral oedema, and respiratory failure.
CAUSES OF EMPHYSEMA
The biggest known cause or risk factor for emphysema - and for COPD - is smoking. Cigarette smoking is responsible for around 90% of cases of COPD. However, COPD will develop only in smokers who are genetically susceptible - smoking does not always lead to the disease.

Emphysema is a type of COPD involving damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. As a result, your body does not get the oxygen it needs. Emphysema makes it hard to catch your breath. You may also have a chronic cough and have trouble breathing during exercise. The most common cause is cigarette smoking
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its management
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.
COPD typically has a clear cause and a clear path of prevention, and there are ways to slow the progression of the disease.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness

Goal- Promote bronchodilationn Reduce inflammation Remove secretions Prevent ongoing symptoms Prevent asthma attack Maintain normal lung function Avoid triggers
Pharmacological therapy 1. Long term control medication- Inhaled corticosteroid Leukotriene modifiers Long acting beta agonist Methylxanthines Combine inhaler
2 Quick relief medication Short acting beta agonist Anticholinergic Oral or I/V corticosteroid
3 Bronchial thermoplasty- Form severe asthma that does not respond to medication
Non- pharmacological
Oxygen therapy Postural drainage & chest physiotherapy Coughing & deep breathing exercise Avoidance of allergen relaxation technique acupuncture
Prevention
Patients with recurrent asthma should undergo tests to identify the substances that precipitate the symptoms. Possible causes are dust, dust mites, roaches, certain types of cloth, pets, horses, detergents, soaps, certain foods, molds, and pol- lens. If the attacks are seasonal, pollens can be strongly sus- pected. Patients are instructed to avoid the causative agents whenever possible.
Complications Complications of asthma may include status asthmaticus, respiratory failure, pneumonia, and atelectasis. Airway obstruction, particularly during acute asthmatic episodes, often results in hypoxemia, requiring the administration of oxygen and the monitoring of pulse oximetry and arterial blood gases. Fluids are administered, because people with asthma are frequently dehydrated from diaphoresis and in- sensible fluid loss with hyperventilation.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
4. INTRODUCTION
Bronchial asthma is a medical condition which
causes the airway path of the lungs to swell and
narrow. The disease is chronic and interferes with daily
working. The disease is curable and inhalers help
overcome asthma attacks.
Bronchial Asthma can affect any age or gender
and depends upon environmental and hereditary
factors at large. When ignored, disease proves fatal
claiming lives in many cases.
6. DEFINITION
Bronchial asthma is a chronic , inflammatory
disease of the airways, characterized by airflow
obstruction, bronchial hyperactivity, and a mucous
production.
7. INCIDENCE
Worldwide, it is estimated that approximately
334 million people currently suffer from asthma, and
250,000 deaths are attributed to the disease each
year. The prevalence of the disease is continuing to
grow, and the overall prevalence is estimated to
increase by 100 million by 2025.
8.
9. ETIOLOGY
• Genetic factors
• Environmental factors
a) House dust mites
b) Exposure to tobacco smoke.
c) Predisposed to animals, pollens mould and dust.
• Dietary changes – junk food and fast food
contain Mono-Sodium Glutamate
10. ETIOLOGY
• Atopic diseases – Eczema and allergic rhinitis.
• Maternal status – both physical and mental
conditions like anemia and depression in the mother
are associated with asthmatic stress for the child.
• Early antibiotic use – babies who are given
antibiotics may be 50% more likely to develop
asthma by the age of six
11. COMMON TRIGGERING FACTORS
Extrinsic (Allergic)
Triggers:
• Dust mites
• Mould
• Certain foods
• Animal dander
• Pollen
Intrinsic (Non-Allergic)
Triggers:

13. STAGES OF ASTHMA
The four stages of asthma are:
• Mild intermittent asthma: Mild symptoms of
asthma occur no more than two days per week or
two times per month.
• Mild persistent asthma: Mild symptoms occur
more often than twice per week.
14. • Moderate persistent asthma: Increasingly severe
symptoms of asthma occur daily and at least one
night each week.
• Severe persistent asthma: At this stage,
symptoms occur several times per day almost every
day. You may also experience symptoms many
nights each week. This stage of asthma may not
respond well to treatment.

PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST
31. ALLERGY-SKIN TEST
• A drop of liquid containing the allergen in placed on
your skin
• A small lance with a pinpoint is poked through the
liquid into the top layer of skin (prick test).
• If you are allergic to the allergen, after about 2
minutes the skin begins to form a reaction (red,
slightly swollen, and itchy.
• The size of the hive is measured and recorded. The
larger the hive, the more likely it is that you are
allergic to the allergen tested.
34. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
• Fowlers/ semi fowlers position
• Oxygen administration
• Incentive spirometry exercise
• Deep breathing exercises
• Pursed-lip breathing
• Steam inhalation
35. PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
• Bronchodilators – rapid relief, by relaxation of
airway smooth muscle
– β2 Agonists & Methylxanthines
– Anticholinergic Agents
• Controllers – inhibit the inflammatory process
– Glucocorticoids
– Leukotrienes pathway inhibitors
– Cromones & Anti-IgE therapy
36. β2 Agonists in asthma
• Potent bronchodilators.(TOC)
• Usually given by inhalation route.
• MOA:
– Relaxation of airway smooth muscle
– Non-bronchodilator effects
• Inhibition of mast cell mediator release
• Reduction in plasma exudation
• Increased mucociliary transport
• Inhibition of sensory nerve activation
• Inflammatory cells express β2 receptors but these
are rapidly down regulated.
• No effect on airway inflammation and AHR
38. ADRs – β2 agonists
• Muscle tremors(direct effect on skeletal muscle
β2 receptors)
• Tachycardia(direct effect on atrial β2 receptors)
• Hypokalemia(direct β2 effect on skeletal muscle
uptake of K+)
• Hypoxemia
• Restlessness
39. Anticholinergic agents
• Ipratropium bromide, Tiotropium.
– Prevent cholinergic nerve induced
bronchoconstriction.
– Block M3 receptor on bronchial smooth muscles.
– Less effective than β2 agonists
• Ipratropium- slow, bitter taste, precipitate glaucoma,
paradoxical broncho –constriction (hypotonic
nebulizer sol. & antibacterial additive)
• Tiotropium – longer acting, approved for treatment
of COPD. Dryness of mouth
40. Methylxanthines
• Medium potency bronchodilator
• Theophylline, Theobromine, Caffeine
Mechanism of action
a) Inhibition of several members of the
phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme family
b) Inhibition of cell-surface receptors for adenosine
c) IL-10 release-anti inflammatory action
d) Prevents translocation of NF-kB into nucleus
e) Activation of histone deacetylation. (HDAC2)
41. Adverse effect of theophylline
• Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort,
headache, and anxiety – start at >20 mg/L.(PDE4
inhibition)
• Seizures or arrhythmias at conc.>40 mg/L(A1
receptor antagonism)
• Diuresis(A1 receptor antagonism)
42. Corticosteroids – asthma
• Effective drugs for treatment of asthma.
• Development of inhaled corticosteroids is a major
advance in asthma therapy.
• Used prophylactically as a controller therapy.
• Benefit starts in 1week but continues upto several
months.
• If asthma not controlled at low dose of ICS then
addition of long acting β2 agonist is more effective
than doubling steroid dose.
43. Inhaled corticosteroids( ICS)
Use of β2Agonists >2 times a week indicates need of
a ICS
• Beclomethasone & Budesonide
• Fluticasone
• Triamcinolone
• Flunisolide
• Ciclesonide
44. Side effect of inhaled corticosteroids
• Oropharyngeal candidiasis, dysphonia –
frequent at high doses. Reduced by using spacer
device.
• Decreased bone mineral density.
• Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
suppression- >2000µg/d of beclomethasone.
• Skin thinning, purpura- dose related effect.
• Growth retardation in children
45. Leukotrienes pathway inhibitors
• Two approaches to interrupt the leukotriene
pathway have been pursued
– Inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase, thereby preventing
leukotriene synthesis. Zileuton.
– Inhibition of the binding of LTD4 to its receptor on target
tissues, thereby preventing its action. Zafirlukast,
montelukast.
– Oral route.
ADR
• Liver toxicity
• Churg –Strauss synd.(vasculitis with eosinophilia)
46. Cromones
• Cromolyn sodium & nedocromil sodium
• On chronic use (four times daily) reduce the overall
level of bronchial reactivity.
• These drugs have no effect on airway smooth
muscle tone and are ineffective in reversing
asthmatic bronchospasm; they are only of value
when taken prophylactically.
• Inhalation route
47. Anti-IgE therapy
• Omalizumab - recombinant humanized monoclonal
antibody targeted against IgE.
• MOA - IgE bound to omalizumab cannot bind to IgE
receptors on mast cells and basophils, thereby
preventing the allergic reaction at a very early step
in the process.
48. NEBULIZATION
• Nebulised salbutamol(5mg) in oxygen given
immediately
• Ipratopium bromide(0.5mg) + salbutamol(5mg)
nebulised in oxygen,who don’t respond within 15-30 min
• Terbutaline -s.c.(0.25-0.5mg) or i.v (0.1μg/kg/min)
excessive coughing or too weak to inspire adequately.
• Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate 100mg i.v.stat,
followed by 100-200mg 4-8 hrly infusion.
• ET intubation & mechanical ventilation if above Tt fails
49. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
Bronchial thermoplasty
• Invasive procedure for severe asthma
• Is not painful (no nerves inside airways)
• Risks : mainly lung collapse, bleeding and
additional breathing problems, mostly related to the
bronchoscope.
• Precaution: Pt. must be at least 18 y/o to have the
procedure.
• Pt. still need to use their asthma-maintenance
medications after the procedure
• Benefits: Pt. may use rescue inhalers less often
and are able to engage strenuous physical activity
than before
50. NURSING MANAGEMENT
• Ineffective airway clearance related to obstruction
of the airway, increased mucus secretion as
evidenced by secretion, decreased spo2 level,
tachypnea
• Ineffective breathing pattern related to
obstruction of airway, excessive mucus secretion
as evidenced by tachypnea and hypoxia.
51. • Acute pain on chest related to increased effort of
breath as evidenced by pain scale
• Impaired gas exchange related to decreased
oxygen level, bronchospasm as evidenced by
decreased spo2 level
• Impaired tissue perfusion related to v/q
mismatch, hypoxia as evidenced by delayed
capillary refills
52. • Activity intolerance related to impaired
respiratory function as evidenced by daily
activities
• Disturbed sleeping pattern related to breathing
difficulty as evidenced by redness of eyes.
