| Define COPD | A disease state characterized by chronic airflow obstruction from chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or chronic asthma. |
| What diseases constitute COPD? | Chronic bronchitis, asthma (kind of), emphysema |
| T/F: COPD is characterized by a progressive decline in lung function and recurrent exacerbations that increase this decline. | True quitting smoking is the only way to stop disease progression |
| Chronic Bronchitis | The conducting airways (particularly the bronchi)are the primary structures that undergo change in chronic bronchitis. |
| Clinical manifestations of Chronic Bronchitis | Chronic inflammation and swelling of the wall of the peripheral airways.Excessive mucous production and accumulation. Partial or total mucous plugging of the airways. Smooth muscle constriction of bronchial airways(bronchospasm). |
| Etiology of Chronic Bronchitis | that inhalation of cigarette smoke is the most important factor that generates chronic bronchitis. Other noxious agents about which there are still controversial opinions, are air pollution and occupational inhalants |
| Pathology of Chronic Bronchitis | The pathology of chronic bronchitis includes an inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltrate in the airway wall and a neutrophil influx into the airway lumen. |
| Treatment of Chronic Bronchitis | bronchodilator medications, steroids, antibiotics, oxygen therapy, vaccines, surgery, and pulmonary rehabilitation |
| What treatment below for patients with COPD has been shown to improve long-term survival | oxygen |
| Signs and Symptoms of COPD | 1. dyspnea 2. fatigue 3. chronic cough 4. chest tightness 5. sputum production |
| Ways to measure lung function? | Pulse Oximeter and Spirometer |
| Pulse Oximeter define | Pulse Oximeter define place on fingertip and will report amount of oxygen in blood. needs to be greater than 90% |
| Spirometer define | breath into the device very slowly and exhale normally for 10 repetitions. A patient should have 1000 ml volume for reasonable amount of air inhaled. |
| OT treatment of COPD | 1. graded activities to improve endurance and strength 2. functional activities- ADLs/IADLs , gradually increase level of activity. 3. patient education in energy conservation and simplification techniques. |
