Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD is an umbrella term that refers to a group of lung diseases that block airflow during exhalation‚ which makes it increasingly difficult to breath. Emphysema and chronic asthmatic bronchitis are the two main conditions that make up COPD. In all cases that damage to the airways eventually interferes with the exchange of the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs (mayo). COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States. It is estimated that

A REFLECTIVE PIECE ON A PATIENT WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE. 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

Oxygen Delivery Devices Fact: Oxygen is a medication ordered by the physician Humans naturally breath 21% oxygen from the room air Normal oxygen saturation is 95-99% Clinically‚ if not receiving oxygen therapy‚ a patient on room air should have pulse ox reading of at least 92% or above Definitions: Pulse oximeter – a non-invasive way to monitor the percentage of oxygen carried in blood. Hypoxia – Impaired level of oxygen in the body Hypoxic - Lack of oxygen in the tissues‚ tissue starved

Analysis: The graph of oxygen uptake vs time taken to run 1.5 miles has a negative linear association. As oxygen uptake increases‚ the time taken to run 1.5 miles decreases. This is can be seen through the gradient which has a value of 0.1705. This means that as the oxygen uptake increases by 1 ml/kg the amount of time taken to run 1.5 miles tends to decrease by approximately 1.7 minutes. The graph has a moderate relationship because the data is scattered in a wide band along the line of best fit

Obesity and COPD are chronic health conditions with an increasing incidence globally. They are the major causes for increasing morbidity and mortality. COPD is diagnosed with the use of spirometry and BMI is used for the diagnosis of obesity (1). In the United States‚ 6% of adults have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and 35% are obese (2). There are cases present where patients have comorbid COPD and obesity. Pulmonary issues are associated with obesity‚ some of which include a decrease

Summary of the Practice Issue Poorly managed COPD increases the patients’ risk of a faster progression of the disease and decreased activity tolerance to perform activities of daily living (ADLs)‚ such as walking‚ preparing meals‚ performing self-care‚ and obtaining medications from the pharmacy when needed (American Lung Association‚ 2016). Further‚ lack or patient knowledge concerning avoidance of environmental risk factors‚ proper medication administration‚ and the importance of joining a smoking
