COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Angelia Alleyne HCS/245 May 4‚ 2015 Professor Lori Olson COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease‚ or COPD‚ is a long-term disease that causes breathing problems. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. COPD‚ however‚ is a heterogeneous collection of diseases with differing causes‚ pathogenic mechanisms‚ and physiological effects. Therefore a comprehensive approach

Spirometry is a diagnostic pulmonary function test. Relatively easy to perform‚ for both the patient and the clinician‚ Spirometry testing is noninvasive. The spirometry tests measure lung volumes. There are many reasons spirometry testing is done. Most common would be to assess lung function in disease process‚ but studies are also done in exercise testing for lung capacity and expenditure of oxygen. Speech Language Pathologists are also concerned with Spirometry testing. The lungs are the power

Nurses ’ Role in Health Assessment of Patient with COPD and CHF The nursing role in health assessment involves a systematic collection of data that provides information to facilitate a plan of care to deliver the best care for the patient. Assessment is the foundation of nursing practice. The nurse carries out health assessment to determine the patient ’s condition of health‚ risk factors‚ as well as the need for health education in order to develop an individualized care plan. The nurse

80-90% of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease‚ emphysema‚ chronic mucus secretion‚ and chronic air flow blocks. Smoking is involved in 85% of all lung cancer deaths. An individual with chronic bronchitis‚ which is caused by smoking‚ is more likely to get a bacterial infection if he or she is a smoker. A smoker gets more nose and throat inflammations‚ respiratory infections‚ and chronic bronchitis. Heart Disease Cigarette smoking accounts for 30% of all heart disease deaths. The carbon

Respiratory disorders and diseases are some of the most common medical conditions in the world. They encompass any number of conditions that affect the breathing system and can range from a mild common cold to more severe lung cancer. These disorders can be classified in many ways‚ one of which is a group called chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Included in that group is a disease called emphysema. “Respiratory Disorders” Emphysema is an irreversible‚ progressive disease that gradually damages

breathing because of occasional bouts of acute sinusitis. Sinusitis can make it difficult to breathe for a week or two until the inflammation subsides and the congested sinuses begin to drain.Many breathing problems are chronic or long-term. These common breathing problems include chronic sinusitis‚ allergies‚ and asthma. These problems can cause a host of symptoms such as nasal congestion‚ runny nose‚ itchy or watery eyes‚ chest congestion‚ cough‚ wheezing‚ labored breathing‚ and shallow breathing. The

In this reflective piece of writing I will be explaining how chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects the patient physically‚ psychologically ‚and socially ‚I will also explain how the disease affects his daily routine and how it impacts on his family life. I will give an overview of the clinical signs and symptoms‚ how the disease alters the pathphysiology of the lungs‚ and what these changes cause within

Emphysema and lung cancer are 2 condition related to smoking. (A) Emphysema is described has a Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is a combination of lung damage and mucous production that makes it hard to breathe. This is a chronic condition caused by damage to the alveoli air sacs in the lung. When the lungs are exposed to cigarette smoke‚ causes excess mucus production due to the destruction of lung tissue in the smaller airways. This makes them unable to hold there structure properly

Case Study One COPD HCS 507 09/06/2014 Stephen Loughran‚ MSN-FNP‚ RN Case Study One COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive‚ non-reversible disease that makes breathing difficult. COPD is characterized by coughing‚ often productive; wheezing; shortness of breath; and chest tightness. The leading cause of COPD is cigarette smoking (National Institutes of Health‚ 2013). While 85 % of COPD patients are or were smokers‚ only 10-25 percent of smokers develop COPD‚ suggesting
