Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease where the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) become damaged, causing shortness of breath. It is primarily caused by cigarette smoking and long-term exposure to air pollution. The main symptoms are a productive cough, breathlessness, and wheezing. Signs include cyanosis, wheezing, fast breathing, hyperinflation of the lungs, and reduced breath sounds. Treatment focuses on stopping smoking, using bronchodilators and steroids, and supplemental oxygen. Prevention emphasizes avoiding pollution and respiratory infections by getting vaccinated.

Emphysema-medical information |management |diagnosis | tests
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease where the air sacs in the lungs become damaged and stretched, making breathing difficult. Smoking is the primary cause. Symptoms include shortness of breath and cough. Treatment focuses on medications to open airways, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes. For severe cases, surgery may help reduce lung volume or transplant lungs. The goal of treatment is stabilizing the condition and preventing complications.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a lung condition characterized by abnormally widened airways that make the lungs vulnerable to infection. The document discusses the types, signs and symptoms, investigations including CT scans and sputum analysis, and treatment approaches for bronchiectasis such as antibiotics, airway clearance techniques, anti-inflammatory therapies, and in some cases surgery. The goals of treatment are to improve symptoms, reduce complications and exacerbations, and decrease morbidity and mortality through managing both the condition and any underlying causes.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by inflamed airways that constrict in response to triggers. It can be extrinsic, caused by allergies to things like pollen, or intrinsic, brought on by non-allergic factors like infections or stress. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves pulmonary function tests and ruling out other conditions. Treatment focuses on avoiding triggers, using medications to open airways like bronchodilators and preventers like corticosteroids, and humidified oxygen during severe attacks to prevent complications like respiratory failure.
COPD
This document provides an overview of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It defines COPD as a progressive lung disease characterized by limited airflow. The two major types are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Risk factors include smoking, air pollution, and genetics. Symptoms include chronic cough, shortness of breath, and limited activity. Treatment focuses on bronchodilators, steroids, oxygen therapy, and smoking cessation. Proper diagnosis and use of evidence-based guidelines can help control symptoms and reduce exacerbations.

Diagnostic evaluation
Bronchoprovocation Testing: Testing that is done to identify inhaled allergens; mucous membranes are directly exposed to suspected allergen in increasing amounts. Skin Testing: Done to identify specific allergens. Exercise Challenges: Exercise is used to identify the occurrence of exercise-induced bronchospasm. Radio allergosorbent Test: Blood test used to identify a specific allergen. Chest Radiograph: May show hyper expansion of the airways.
Managemnet
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.
Nursing diagnosis
Impaired gas exchange r/t altered oxygen supply Ineffective airway clearance r/t bronchospasm & obstruction from narrow lumen Ineffective breathing pattern r/t bronchospasm Risk for increasing attack of r
espiratory distress r/t exposure to allergens
Atelectasis
Atelectasis is defined as the collapse or closure of the lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange. It develops when alveoli become airless from absorption of air without replacement through breathing. Common causes include obstruction of the airway by secretions, diminished distention of alveoli due to chest wall issues or neuromuscular disorders, and anesthesia effects. Signs include cough, dyspnea, and hypoxemia. Treatment focuses on clearing secretions through positioning, deep breathing, and chest physical therapy. Bronchodilators and mucolytics may also be used, along with mechanical ventilation for severe cases.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an inflammatory lung condition caused by bacteria or viruses that enter the lungs. When pathogens enter the alveoli, or air sacs, white blood cells rush to fight the infection, filling the sacs with fluid and pus. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterial cause. Risk factors include old age, smoking, lung diseases, and weakened immunity. Symptoms include fever, chills, cough with colored mucus, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis involves physical exam, chest x-rays, and tests of sputum or blood. Antibiotics treat bacterial pneumonia while rest and fluids help viral cases. Vaccines can prevent pneumococcal pneumonia.

Atelectasis
Atelectasis is a complete or partial collapse of the entire lung or area (lobe) of the lung. It occurs when the tiny air sacs (alveoli) within the lung become deflated or possibly filled with alveolar fluid.
4 bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition defined by abnormal dilation of the bronchi. It is commonly caused by previous lung infections but can also be due to other issues like airway obstruction, immune deficiencies, or genetic disorders. Patients present with excessive sputum production, chronic cough, recurrent lung infections, and sometimes blood in the sputum or cough. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like CT scans that show dilated bronchi. Treatment focuses on airway clearance and antibiotics to prevent infections. Surgery may be considered for severe cases or massive bleeding in the lungs.
Lung abscess
Lung abscess is a localized infection and necrosis of lung tissue that forms a cavity containing pus. It is usually caused by aspiration or infection traveling via the bloodstream. Common symptoms include fever, cough, sputum production, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray or CT scan to identify lung cavities. Treatment consists of antibiotics chosen based on suspected bacteria and may require hospitalization. Complications can include spread of infection to the pleural space or amyloidosis.
Copd
COPD is a progressive lung disease characterized by airflow obstruction caused by chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Common symptoms include cough, sputum production, and shortness of breath. Risk factors include cigarette smoking, air pollution, and genetic factors. Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms and medical history, along with spirometry to measure lung function. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation, bronchodilators, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, and managing complications. Nursing care emphasizes airway clearance, breathing exercises, nutrition, activity, education, and symptom management.
Emphysema (COPD)
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease that causes damage to the air sacs in the lungs called alveoli. It develops due to long-term exposure to irritants that destroy the walls of the alveoli, reducing their ability to effectively exchange gases. The main cause is long-term cigarette smoking. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chronic cough, and fatigue. The damage can be seen on chest X-rays and lung function tests. While it has no cure, treatments aim to improve symptoms and lung function through quitting smoking, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, surgery, and rehabilitation.
01.copd
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lungs. The major risk factors are cigarette smoking and exposure to occupational dusts and chemicals. Clinically, COPD most commonly presents with exertional dyspnea, chronic cough, and sputum production that typically worsens over time. Pathologically, COPD involves chronic inflammation in the airways and lung parenchyma, along with the destruction of lung tissue seen in emphysema.

Emphysema affects around 1.8 million Americans and causes limitations in daily activities for many sufferers. It is classified as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is primarily caused by cigarette smoking in around 82% of cases. The top symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, chronic coughing and mucus production. Left untreated, emphysema can lead to serious health complications like infections, respiratory failure, and even death.
Emphysema
Emphysema is a condition where the air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are damaged and enlarged, causing shortness of breath. It occurs when constant lung inflammation allows bacteria to infect the lungs, and immune cells release enzymes that destroy elastic fibers in the alveoli walls. This causes the walls between alveoli to break down, reducing the surface area for gas exchange in the lungs. People with emphysema have difficulty getting oxygen into their blood and removing carbon dioxide, leading to rapid breathing and other symptoms. The primary causes are cigarette smoking and air pollution. Treatment depends on severity but may include medications, inhalers, surgery, exercise and quitting smoking.
Surgical emphysema
This document discusses the dilemma of surgical emphysema with no clear cause. It presents 3 case studies where CT scans or MRI were needed to identify pneumomediastinum or pneumoperitoneum as the source when chest x-rays were equivocal. It also notes that while injecting air can cause emphysema in cadavers, this needs more experimentation in living humans. The key is to carefully examine for needle marks, and use imaging tests and treatment like chest tubes selectively based on symptoms.
Subcutaneous emphysema
This document discusses subcutaneous emphysema, which occurs when air is introduced into the subcutaneous fascia, causing soft tissue swelling. It can arise during dental procedures when compressed air enters tissues through patent canals or gingival sulci. Common symptoms include localized swelling, crepitus, and discomfort. While usually benign and self-resolving, air can occasionally spread to dangerous areas if not properly managed. Prevention involves avoiding direct air use and instead drying canals with paper points.
Emphysema
Pulmonary emphysema is an abnormal enlargement of the airspaces in the lungs caused by destruction of alveolar walls. It affects over 210 million people worldwide and is primarily caused by smoking. The main types are centriacinar, panacinar, and paraseptal emphysema. Patients present with shortness of breath but without sputum production. Diagnosis can be made through chest imaging that shows hyperinflated lungs and loss of markings. Emphysema results from an imbalance between proteases that break down lung tissue and antiproteases that inhibit them.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) power point
COPD is a chronic lung condition characterized by permanently narrowed airways and difficulty breathing. It encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD develops over many years as a result of lung damage, most commonly from cigarette smoking. It causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways and destruction of lung tissue over time. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and frequent respiratory infections. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms, slowing lung function decline, and improving quality of life through medications, oxygen therapy, and smoking cessation.
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
COPD is a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It is caused by damage to the lungs over many years, usually from smoking.
The main symptoms are:
• A long-lasting (chronic) cough.
• Mucus that comes up when you cough.
• Shortness of breath that gets worse when you exercise.

This document describes a case report of a 17-year-old girl who developed subcutaneous emphysema in her face and neck following a complicated tooth extraction. During the extraction, the tooth crown broke and an air-turbine drill had to be used. She experienced sudden swelling and pressure. Examination found swelling and crepitus without tenderness. X-rays confirmed subcutaneous emphysema in the neck. She was treated with oxygen, fluids, and antibiotics and recovered fully within 5 days. The case illustrates that subcutaneous emphysema is a rare but possible complication of dental procedures that practitioners should be aware of.

COPD AND ASTHMA
Chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is defined as a persistent cough with mucus production for at least three months in a year for two consecutive years. It is primarily caused by long-term irritation and inflammation of the airways due to cigarette smoke or other inhaled chemicals. Chronic bronchitis can progress to more severe lung diseases like COPD or lung cancer and, if left untreated, may result in heart failure or respiratory infections. The pathology involves damage to the airways, thickening of the mucus membranes, and increased mucus production.
Bronchitis ppt
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that carry air to and from the lungs. There are two main types: acute and chronic. Risk factors include smoking, air pollution, and respiratory infections. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and mucus production. Homeopathy can help relieve cough, control recurring infections, improve immunity, reduce severity and duration of bronchitis, and help both allergic and infectious cases. Specific homeopathic remedies target productive coughing, lower recurrence risk, boost immunity, clear infections, reduce inflammation and make breathing easier. The document encourages those suffering from bronchitis to seek homeopathic treatment.
Emphysema
Emphysema is a lung disease characterized by abnormal enlargement of the air spaces in the lungs. There are several types of emphysema including centriacinar, panacinar, distal acinar, and irregular emphysema. The main pathogenesis involves an imbalance between protease enzymes like elastase released by smoke exposure and antioxidant proteins like alpha-1 antitrypsin that normally inhibit these enzymes. This imbalance leads to destruction of lung elastic tissue and enlargement of the air spaces. Patients may present as "pink puffers" with barrel chests and prolonged expiration or "blue bloaters" with hypoxia and cor pulmonale. Diagnosis involves spirometry showing reduced FEV1 and imaging
Emphysema
Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that involves damage to the alveoli in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. It can be caused by long-term exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke or air pollution. Symptoms include shortness of breath and coughing. Diagnosis involves physical exams, imaging tests, and pulmonary function tests. While the lung damage cannot be reversed, treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through medications, oxygen therapy, lung surgery, and transplants in severe cases.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi. Acute bronchitis causes cough and mucus production, often during a cold or flu. Chronic bronchitis is long-term cough and mucus production, usually caused by smoking or pollution. Acute bronchitis is usually viral but can be bacterial, while chronic bronchitis is caused by long-term airway irritation. Symptoms include cough, fatigue, and sore throat.
Emphysema
Emphysema is damage and abnormal distention of airspaces beyond the terminal bronchioles caused by cigarette smoking or air pollution. There are four main types: centrilobular affects central acini, panlobular affects all acini uniformly, distal acinar involves distal parts of acini, and irregular is mixed. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, difficulty breathing with exertion, and barrel chest. Complications can include respiratory failure, pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension, and right heart failure. Treatment involves smoking cessation, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, and possibly surgery. Nursing care focuses on monitoring vital signs, administering medications and oxygen, and maintaining proper positioning.
Air Leak Syndrome
This document discusses air leak syndrome, which refers to the escape of air from the lungs into other tissues. It can include pulmonary interstitial emphysema, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, pneumoperitoneum, and subcutaneous emphysema. Pneumothorax, or air in the pleural space between the lung and chest wall, is the most common type. Risk factors include prematurity, mechanical ventilation, and diseases that damage lung tissue. Symptoms depend on the location and amount of air, and treatment ranges from supportive care to needle aspiration or chest tube insertion for more severe cases.

COPD
This document provides information about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It defines COPD as a lung disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive. COPD often involves a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Symptoms include a chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness. Smoking is the primary cause of COPD. Treatment involves bronchodilators, corticosteroids, vaccines, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation and sometimes surgery. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and prevent exacerbations.
emphysema (5).pptx
Emphysema is a lung disease characterized by breakdown of lung tissue and alveoli, reducing the lungs' ability to exchange oxygen. There are three main types: centrilobular emphysema primarily affects the center of lung lobes and is usually caused by smoking; panlobular emphysema affects all alveoli and is associated with genetic deficiencies; paraseptal emphysema relates to changes near the pleura. Diagnosis involves imaging, lung function tests, and blood tests to assess oxygen levels. Treatment focuses on medications, pulmonary rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery to improve breathing and quality of life.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by poor airflow. The main causes are smoking and air pollution. Symptoms include cough, sputum production, and shortness of breath. A diagnosis is made through pulmonary function tests showing obstructed airflow. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, and managing exacerbations.
Emphysema.pptx
Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease that makes it difficult to empty air out of the lungs.
Emphysema is a condition that involves damage
to the walls of the air sacs (alveoli) of the lung making it difficult to breath.
The lungs are sponge-like structures that lies within the chest, protected by the ribcage.
They are made up of progressively branching air passages, the smallest of which end in minute air sacs(alveoli)
In these air sac inhaled oxygen is transferred to the blood stream and carbon dioxide is transferred from the blood into the exhaled breath. (Respiration)
COPD.pptx
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease characterized by obstructed airflow from the lungs. It is typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter from cigarette smoke. The two most common conditions that contribute to COPD are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema destroys lung tissue and chronic bronchitis causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes. While COPD is progressive, treatment options can help control symptoms and slow disease progression. Treatment may include quitting smoking, medications like bronchodilators and antibiotics, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and possibly surgery in severe cases.

Preventing smoking is key to avoiding most COPD cases.
Emphysema PPT
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.
Copd
COPD is a serious lung disease that makes breathing difficult over time. The most common cause is cigarette smoke, but other environmental factors and genetics can also play a role. Symptoms include cough, fatigue, respiratory infections, and shortness of breath. A spirometry test is used to diagnose COPD by measuring lung capacity. While there is no cure, treatments can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further worsening through medications, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and smoking cessation.
COPD.ppt
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) refers to a group of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The main symptoms are shortness of breath and reduced activity levels that worsen over time. Smoking is the leading cause and damages the lungs by destroying elastic fibers in the air sacs. Treatment focuses on quitting smoking and managing symptoms through medications, supplemental oxygen, pulmonary rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery. Yoga practices like breathing exercises and poses can help relieve symptoms and reduce stress.
Empysema
Emphysema is a long-term lung disease that damages lung function and causes shortness of breath. It destroys necessary lung tissue and airways. Specifically, emphysema causes the creation of small holes in the alveoli, the air sacs responsible for oxygen exchange, resulting in not enough oxygen reaching the bloodstream. Smoking and air pollution are the primary causes of emphysema by damaging the lungs over many years. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, decreased tolerance for exercise, and pursed-lip breathing. Treatment focuses on bronchodilation, corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, and managing symptoms.
COPD.pdf
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to two lung diseases, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, that are typically caused by smoking. In COPD, airflow to the lungs is limited by inflammation and damage to airways and lung tissue. Symptoms include cough, sputum production, wheezing, shortness of breath, and weight loss. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, and managing exacerbations. Nursing care aims to improve ventilation and gas exchange, manage anxiety, and ensure effective airway clearance and rest.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to chronic conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema that obstruct airflow from the lungs. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. The document defines COPD and describes its symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment through medications and surgery, complications, and approaches to managing the disease.
Emphysema
Emphysema is a lung disease where the air sacs (alveoli) are progressively destroyed, resulting in fewer and larger air spaces. The main causes are smoking and genetic conditions. In emphysema, elastic fibers and alveolar walls are broken down due to an imbalance between proteases from inflammatory cells and their inhibitors like alpha-1 antitrypsin. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves pulmonary function tests, chest imaging, and blood tests. Treatment focuses on bronchodilators, supplemental oxygen, and reducing risk factors.

- 6. CAUSES Cigarette smoking is by far the most dangerous behavior that causes people to develop emphysema, and it is also the most preventable cause. Air pollution acts in a similar manner to cigarette smoke. The pollutants cause inflammation in the airways, leading to lung tissue destruction. Close relatives of people with emphysema are more likely to develop the disease themselves. Abnormal airway reactivity, such as bronchial asthma, has been shown to be a risk factor for the development of emphysema. Men are more likely to develop emphysema than women. The exact reason for this is unknown, but differences between male and female hormones are suspected. Older age is a risk factor for emphysema. Lung function normally declines with age.

The oximeter is a device usually placed on a finger and detects the pulse of blood. A light is transmitted through the tissue, and the amount of the brighter red color is determined, enabling a measure of oxygen saturation, a measure of hemoglobin oxygen content. This value is usually greater than 90%. An arterial blood gas test will measure the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and combined with other measurements can help the healthcare provider decide whether the body has been able to adapt to the lower oxygen concentrations in the body. In some laboratories, the arterial blood gas result will include a carbon monoxide percentage, most often found in the body because of smoking. For each hemoglobin molecule that has carbon monoxide attached, there is one less that can carry oxygen. A variety of lung functions can be measured and may include how much air the lungs can hold and empty with each breath, the degree of airflow obstruction, the available surface for exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen, the amount of trapped gases, and how elastic the lungs are with inspiration and expiration. By comparing results to a "normal" person of the same age, sex and size, estimations can be made as to the severity of the emphysema. A plain chest x-ray may show lungs that have become too inflated and too lucent, signs that lung tissue destruction has occurred.
