Pharmacology Lecture Slides on COPD - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by Sanjaya Mani Dixit Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Kathmandu Medical College
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. The main symptoms include dyspnea, cough, and sputum production. COPD is caused by exposure to inhaled irritants, most often cigarette smoke, leading to chronic inflammation and structural changes in the lungs.
The predominant form of COPD is chronic bronchitis, which involves chronic cough and sputum production for at least 3 months per year for 2 consecutive years. This is associated with inflammation and eventual thickening of the bronchial tubes. Emphysema is another form of COPD characterized by permanent enlargement of airspaces and destruction of lung parenchyma.
The airflow limitation in COPD is due to a combination of parenchymal destruction (emphysema) and small airways disease (chronic bronchitis). The obstruction is generally progressive and irreversible. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, exposure history, and spirometry showing irreversible airflow limitation.
COPD treatment aims to reduce symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, prevent exacerbations, and slow disease progression. Smoking cessation is essential. Medications used include bronchodilators and inhaled steroids. Supplemental oxygen may be required in advanced disease. Exacerbations are treated with antibiotics, oral steroids, and other supportive therapies. Patients often have decreased quality of life and COPD is a leading cause of mortality worldwide.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Objectives
At the completion of this unit learners will be able to:
1. Identify factors that can interfere with effective
oxygenation of body tissues.
2. Describe common manifestations of altered
respiratory and cardiovascular function
3. Discuss lifespan-related changes and problems in
respiratory function and cardiovascular system
4. Describe nursing measures to ensure a patient
airway
3. Cont..
6. Recognize the emergencies related to
respiratory and cardiovascular system
7. Explain ways that caregivers can decrease the
exposure of clients to infection
8. Differentiate between medical and surgical
asepsis.
5. Apply Nursing Process and teaching plan for a
client with altered respiratory function and
cardiovascular function
4. Oxygenation
Oxygen, a clear, odorless gas that constitutes
approximately 21%of the air we breathe, is necessary
for proper functioning of all living cells.
Oxygenation (the delivery of oxygen to the body’s
tissues and cells), is necessary to maintain life and
health.
5. PHYSIOLOGY OF OXYGENATION
The delivery of oxygen to the body’s cells is a process that
depends upon the interplay of the pulmonary, hematologic,
and cardiovascular systems.
Specifically, the processes involved include ventilation,
alveolar gas exchange, oxygen transport and delivery, and
cellular respiration.
The absence of oxygen can lead to cellular, tissue, and
organism death.
6. Respiration
Respiration is the process of gas exchange between
the individual and the environment and involves
following components:
Pulmonary ventilation –(breathing)
movement of air in and out of the lungs
Inspiration –(inhalation) act or breathing in
Expiration –(exhalation) act of breathing out
External respiration – exchange of O2 and CO2
between alveoli and blood
Internal respiration – exchange of O2 and CO2
between blood and tissue cells
Anatomy and Physiology of respiration
7. Cont.…
The Air way begins at nose and ends at terminal
bronchioles. Air way provides a pathway for transport of
oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Respiratory tract (Air Way) is divided into two:
• Upper Respiratory Tract (URT): consists of
nose, pharynx, larynx and epiglottis.
The main function is to warm, filter and humidify
inspired air.
• Lower Respiratory Tract (LRT): consists of
Trachea, Bronchi, bronchioles and lungs.
Its major function are conduction of air and surfactant
production.
10. Age
Oxygenation status can be influenced by age. Older adults are
also more susceptible to respiratory infection because of
decreased activity in the cilia, which normally are an effective
defense mechanism. Other changes includes the following.
• Chest wall and airways become more rigid and less elastic.
• Decreases in muscle strength
• The amount of exchanged air is decreased.
• The cough reflex and cilia action are decreased.
• Mucous membranes become drier and more fragile.
• Decreases in muscle strength and endurance occur.
• If osteoporosis is present, adequate lung expansion may be compromised.
• A decrease in efficiency of the immune system occurs.
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease is more common in older adults and
increases the risk of aspiration
11. Environmental Factors
Environmental factors can significantly affect a client’s oxygenation
status. Altitude, heat, cold, and air pollution affect oxygenation.
• The higher the altitude, the lower the PO2 an individual breathes.
As a result, the person at high altitudes has increased respiratory
and cardiac rates and increased respiratory depth, which usually
become most apparent when the individual exercises.
• Healthy people exposed to air pollution, such as smog or
secondhand tobacco smoke, may experience stinging of the eyes,
headache, dizziness, and coughing.
• People who have a history of existing lung disease and altered
respiratory function experience varying degrees of respiratory
difficulty in a polluted environment. Some are unable to perform
self-care in such an environment.
12. Lifestyle Factors
Physical exercise or activity increases the rate and depth of
respirations and hence the supply of oxygen in the body.
Sedentary people, by contrast, lack the alveolar expansion and
deep-breathing patterns of people with regular activity.
Clients who are exposed to dust, animal dander, asbestos, or
toxic chemicals in the home or workplace are at increased risk
for alterations in oxygenation.
• Silicosis is seen more often in sandstone blasters and potters
than in the rest of the population
• Asbestosis in asbestos workers
• Anthracosis in coal miners
• Organic dust disease in farmers and agricultural employees
who work with moldy hay
13. Health Status
• In the healthy person, the respiratory system can
provide sufficient oxygen to meet the body’s needs.
Diseases of the respiratory system, however, can
adversely affect the oxygenation of the blood.
14. Medications
A variety of medications can decrease the rate and
depth of respirations. The most common medications
having this effect are the benzodiazepine sedative-
hypnotics and antianxiety drugs (e.g., diazepam
[Valium], lorazepam [Ativan], midazolam [Versed]),
barbiturates (e.g., phenobarbital), and narcotics such as
morphine and meperidine hydrochloride (Demerol).
15. Cont..
• When administering these, the nurse must
carefully monitor respiratory status, especially
when the medication is begun or when the
dose is increased. Older clients are at high risk
of respiratory depression and, hence, usually
require reduced dosages.
16. Stress
When stress and stressors are encountered, both
psychological and physiological responses can affect
oxygenation. Some people may hyperventilate in response to
stress. When this occurs, arterial PO2 rises and PCO2 falls. The
person may experience light-headedness and numbness and
tingling of the fingers, toes, and around the mouth as a result.
Physiologically, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated
and epinephrine is released during stress. Epinephrine causes
the bronchioles to dilate, increasing blood flow and oxygen
delivery to active muscles. Although these responses are
adaptive in the short term, when stress continues they can be
destructive, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
17. Maintaining Healthy Oxygenation
Encourage clients to:
1. Leave windows open for ventilation instead of using
an air conditioner or humidifier.
2. Wear a mask when working with hazardous
materials, such as asbestos.
3. Limit physical exertion if it causes shortness of
breath.
4. Refrain from smoking.
5. Change filters on furnaces, heaters, and range
hoods as recommended by manufacturer.
18. Common Manifestations Of Altered Respiratory
And Cardiovascular Function
• Apnea: Temporary cessation of breathing.
• Dyspnea: Difficulty in breathing. Eg. SOB
• Eupnea: Normal breathing. 12 to 20 b/m
• Hyperpnea: Increased rate and depth of breathing.
• Hyperventilation: Increased pulmonary ventilation
leading to low blood level of CO2
• Hypoventilation: Decreased pulmonary ventilation
leading to increased blood level of CO2
19. Cont.…
• Orthopnea: Dyspnea that occurs when a person is
lying down.
• Tachypnea: Accelerated respiration
• Bradypnea: Abnormal slowness of breathing.
• Hypoxia: Low oxygen level in tissues
• Hypercarbia: (c): Accumulation of CO2 in the blood
• Hypoxemia: Reduced oxygen in the blood,
23. Life Span Considerations
Problems
Premature infant:
• Lack of surfactant ( A substance in alveoli which
keeps the lungs wet and prevents collapse).
Infants & Toddlers:
• Risk of upper respiratory tract infections due to
exposure to other children and second hand smoke.
• Risk of airway obstruction also.
23
24. Life Span Considerations
Problems
School age children & Adolescents:
• Respiratory infections and respiratory risk factors
such as second hand smoke & cigarette smoking. Can
lead to cardiopulmonary disease if continues.
Young & Middle age adults:
• Multiple cardiopulmonary risk factors due to
unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, stress, drugs &
smoking.
24
25. Life Span Considerations
Problems
Older Adults:
• Body systems undergo changes throughout the aging
process, eg, atherosclerosis which leads to increased
BP.
Respiratory system changes-----thoracic cage changes---
-- eg, barrel chest-------decreased ventilation.
25
28. Cardiac Emergencies
• Cardiac Arrest (the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing
and consciousness.)
• Myocardial infarction (MI) (permanent damage to the heart
muscle.)
• Congestive Heart Failure:(Heart failure is a condition in which
the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Heart failure does not mean that your heart has stopped or is
about to stop working. It means that your heart is not able to
pump blood the way it should.)
• Disturbances of Cardiac Rhythm (Arrhythmias)
28
30. Nursing Process
Assessment: (History Taking)
• Current respiratory problems
• History of respiratory diseases
• Current or past cardiovascular problems
• Life style
• Presence of Cough
• Signs of hypoxia
30
31. Nursing Process
Assessment:
• Sputum / (Characteristics of sputum)
• Description of sputum
• Presence of chest pain
• Presence of risk factors
• Medication history
31
38. Implementation
3. Interventions to Improve Oxygen Uptake and
Delivery
– Administer oxygen.
• simple mask
• Nasal canula
• Venturi mask
• Rebreathing and Non-rebreathing mask
– Administer blood components.
39. Implementation
4. Interventions to Increase Cardiac Output and
Tissue Perfusion
– Manage fluid balance.
– Encourage activity restrictions and assistance
with activities of daily living.
– Position client properly.
– Administer medications.
41. Implementation
• Interventions to Address Associated Nursing
Diagnoses
– Explore lifestyle and activity adaptations.
– Encourage dietary and nutritional modifications.
– Promote comfort measures.
42. Asepsis
• Asepsis is the absence of microorganisms.
• Medical asepsis uses practices to reduce the
number, growth, and spread of microorganisms.
Medical asepsis is also referred to as “clean
technique.
• Surgical asepsis, or sterile technique, consists of
those practices that eliminate all microorganisms and
spores from an object or area.

44. Ways That Can Decrease The Exposure Of
Clients To Infection
45. Oxygen Therapy
is the administration of oxygen at a concentration greater than
that found in the environmental atmosphere.
Goal:
Is to provide adequate transport of oxygen in the blood while
decreasing the work of breathing and reducing stress on the
myocardium
To prevent Hypoxia
Oxygen administration:
Oxygen therapy is prescribed by the physician who specifies the
concentration, method of delivery and liter flow per minute. The
concentration is of more importance than the liter flow per
minute
47. Cont..
Humidifiers – prevent mucous
membranes from drying and becoming
irritated and loosens secretions for easier
expectoration. Oxygen passing through
water picks up water vapor before it
reaches the client
The oxygen passes through sterile
distilled water or tap water and then
along a line to the device through which
the moistened oxygen is inhaled ( e.g. a
Cannula, Nasal Catheter, or Oxygen
Mask).
49. Nasal Cannula/Nasal Prongs)
• Flow rate up to 6L/min
• Unable to determine exact concentration
• Comfortable – allows patient to eat, drink talk
• Can still be used if patient’ mouth breathing
• Delivers O2 into the patient’s nostrils by way of two small
plastic prongs
• Delivers low concentration of O2 (24% to 45%) at flow rates of
2-6 L/min
• Most common inexpensive device
50. Face Masks
Face masks that cover the client’s nose and
mouth may be used for oxygen inhalation.
Exhalation ports on the sides of the masks
allowed exhaled carbon dioxide to escape.
Simple Face Masks delivers oxygen
concentrations from 40% to 60% at liters flows of
5 – 8 L/minute, respectively
Partial Rebreather Masks
delivers oxygen concentrations of 60% to 90% at
liter flows of 6 to 10 L/ minute, respectively. The
oxygen reservoir bag that is attached allows the
client to rebreathe about the first third of the
exhaled air in conjunction with oxygen
51. Non Rebreather Masks
It delivers the highest oxygen concentration
possible – 95% to 100% - by means other than
intubation or mechanical ventilation at liter
flows of 10 – 15 L/ minute,respectively.
Venturi Masks
The venturi masks delivers oxygen
concentrations varying from 24% to 40% or
50% at liter flows of 4 to 10 L/ minute.
is often used with air-entrainment nebulizers to
provide humidification and oxygen therapy.
Face Masks
52. Face Tents (Face Shield)
Can replace oxygen masks when
masks are poorly tolerated by clients.
Face tents provide varying
concentration of oxygen, for example
30% to 50% concentration of oxygen
at 4 to 8 L/minute.
53. Artificial Airways
Oropharyngeal Airways
• An OPA is a device usually made of plastic
• It is inserted into patients mouth and into back of throat
• Helps to maintain an open airway for breathing/ resuscitation
• Use OPA’s only on unconscious patients who DON’T have a gag
reflex
Oropharyngeal airways stimulate the gag reflex and are only
used for clients with altered level of consciousness;
Example:
o Because of general anesthesia
o Overdose
o Head injury
54. Suctioning
• NEVER suction for longer than 15 seconds at a time
• NEVER suction as you are inserting the catheter,
place the suction tip in the patients mouth before
starting suction
55. Nurses Responsibilities
• The nurse should explain the reason and the
objective for the therapy
• The nurse should know the proper care of and
administration of oxygen
• Instruct the patient and family the methods for
administering oxygen
• Demonstrate safe and appropriate use of oxygen and
oxygen device
• Identify to patient and family the signs and
symptoms indicating the need for oxygen
