What does COPD mean? What is COPD

COPD is the lungs of the body, chronic obstructive disease, the lungs will be damaged, the normal gas exchange of the human body will be affected, will cause the lungs and multiple organs to be in a state of hypoxia, the patient will show dyspnea, cough and sputum symptoms, will also cause weakness of the limbs and other symptoms, the disease may be caused by long-term inhalation of polluting gases, or harmful particles, you can take oral antibiotic drugs ** condition, when going out, it is best to wear a mask.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema with airflow obstruction features that can progress to a common chronic condition of cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. It is related to the abnormal inflammatory response of harmful gases and harmful particles, and the disability rate and case fatality rate are very high, and the global incidence rate over 40 years old has been as high as 9% to 10%.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common preventable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that progressively develops and is associated with an increased chronic inflammatory response of the airways and lungs to toxic particles or gases.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: is the abbreviation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is a preventable and ** disease with airflow limitation characteristics. Airflow limitation is progressively developed and is associated with an increased chronic inflammatory response of airway and lung tissues to harmful gases or harmful particles such as tobacco smoke.

COPD primarily refers to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, usually due to lung tissue lesions that lead to irreversible airflow limitation. Pulmonary function tests are usually required to make the diagnosis. In addition, patients may present with symptoms of lung lesions, such as cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, and even dyspnea.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common preventable condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation that progressively develops and is associated with increased chronic inflammatory response of the airways and lungs to toxic particles or gases.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), abbreviated as COPD, is characterized by progressive, incompletely reversible airflow limitation. The exact condition of COPD is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to the abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to harmful gases or harmful particles such as cigarette smoke. COPD has a slow onset and a long course of disease, and generally has symptoms of chronic cough and sputum production, but there are also a few patients who do not have cough symptoms.

The hallmark symptom of COPD is shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, which is initially only present during labor, going upstairs, or climbing hills, and is relieved by rest. As the disease progresses, shortness of breath may occur when moving on flat ground. Patients with advanced stages of life may experience shortness of breath during activities of daily living such as dressing, washing, and eating, and may feel shortness of breath even when resting.

In acute exacerbations, bronchial secretions increase, chest tightness, and shortness of breath increase. In severe cases, symptoms of respiratory failure may occur, such as cyanosis, headache, drowsiness, and confusion.

Therefore, early prevention and treatment of COPD is very important for the prognosis of the disease, and pulmonary function tests are the gold standard for diagnosing COPD.

Q: How do I know if I have a high incidence of COPD?

1) Do you smoke now, or have you ever smoked?

2) Do you cough often?

3) Do you often have phlegm?

4) Are you more likely to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath than your peers?

5) Are you over 40 years old?

Q: What are the risk factors for COPD?

The most common** is smoking.

Smoking should be said to be the biggest culprit of COPD.

Long-term smoking lungs can be contrasted with normal lungs.

Look at the smoker's lungs.

Isn't it scary.

Image source network. Smoking is currently recognized as the most important known risk factor for COPD. The results of many foreign studies have shown that compared with non-smokers, the incidence of abnormal lung function in smokers is significantly higher, the number of people with respiratory symptoms is significantly higher, and the annual decline in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), the core indicator of pulmonary function tests reflecting whether the airway is obstructed, is significantly faster. Moreover, after long-term observation, it has been clear that there is a dose-response relationship between the amount of cigarettes smoked and the rate of decline of FEV1, that is, the greater the amount of cigarettes, the faster the decline of FEV1, and for those who already have COPD, the case fatality rate of smoking patients is significantly higher than that of non-smoking patients. The results of domestic studies are similar to those of foreign countries.

The results of a study of 100,000 people showed that smoking is still the most important risk factor for COPD in patients with COPD. Passive smoking can also lead to respiratory symptoms as well as the development of COPD, and smoking in pregnant women may affect the growth of fetal lungs.

Occupational dust and chemical factors, long-term exposure to industrial dust can lead to the occurrence of pneumoconiosis, which can develop into COPD.

Biofuels and smoke, long-term exposure to kitchen fumes also contribute to the occurrence of COPD.

Chronic pulmonary infections are also the cause of COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is an incomplete and irreversible disorder of lung ventilation.

In general, the occurrence of COPD is mostly related to smoking, abnormal inflammation caused by the absorption of harmful gases or harmful particles in the lungs, and patients with COPD are also very painful, so we must pay attention to protect our respiratory tract in our daily life and try to avoid inhaling some harmful gases and substances.

Patients with COPD often have a pronounced cough in the morning and cough or sputum discharge at night, and the sputum is generally white mucus or serous foamy sputum, and there is more expectoration in the morning, and COPD is mostly due to individual factors, such as the lack of 1-antitrypsin in the alveoli; Environmental factors, such as smoking, air pollution, only occur in winter and spring, and cough is reduced or disappeared in summer and autumn; Severe cough in all seasons and aggravation in winter and spring.

The main manifestations are cough, sputum production, heavy in the morning, the sputum is viscous and not easy to cough up, and the sputum is mostly white mucus foam.

After infection or exposure to cold, the condition worsens rapidly, with increased sputum volume, viscosity, or yellowish purulent sputum. As the disease progresses, the patient has a cough and sputum throughout the year. However, not all patients with cough and sputum will develop COPD.

Hello, chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema, also known as COPD, refers to the expansion and overinflation of the distal air space at the end of the bronchi, and the elastic retraction of lung tissue is reduced.

All the elements that cause inflammatory changes in the bronchioles and the same group of plugs can lead to diffuse emphysema, the most common ** is chronic bronchitis, followed by bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, smoking, air pollution infections, etc.

Smoking is one of the main causes of obstructive emphysema, so it is important for people with COPD to quit smoking.

COPD is the lungs of the body, chronic obstructive disease, the lungs will be damaged, the normal gas exchange of the human body will be affected, will cause the lungs and multiple organs to be in a state of hypoxia, the patient will show dyspnea, cough and sputum symptoms, will also cause weakness of the limbs and other symptoms, the disease may be caused by long-term inhalation of polluting gases, or harmful particles, you can take oral antibiotic drugs ** condition, when going out, it is best to wear a mask.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is short for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic refers to the illness that persists and cannot be cured; Lung disease is when the disease occurs in the lungs; Obstructive refers to disorders characterized by incomplete reversible obstruction of the airways to varying degrees. Normal airways are responsible for transporting gas to the lungs, like the forks of a tree branch, and the airways become thinner and thinner.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a condition characterized by incomplete reversible airflow limitation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a devastating lung disease characterized by progressive irreversibility.

COPD is the abbreviation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in English, which is translated into Chinese"Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease"Most of the chronic bronchitis and emphysema we often talk about belong to COPD.

COPD is emphysema, which is a difficult disease that needs to be treated with compound Chuanbei ginkgo soup.

The full name of COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is a lung disease with the characteristics of airflow restriction and localization, which is not completely reversible and progressive. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is closely related to chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

COPD is a chronic airway inflammatory disease that will lead to a gradual decline in the patient's respiratory function, and the mortality rate of this locust disease is also very high. The key to the clear chain of preventing acute exacerbations of COPD is to adhere to standardization for a long time**. Be sure to choose a regular hospital and the right one, Chongqing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine ** Hospital's "external burial and internal sparseness" is your best choice.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that seriously endangers public health and is often overlooked. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) gradually weakens the patient's respiratory function, causing breathing difficulties, often progressively worse. The early symptoms of COPD are not specific and are easy to ignore, but in fact, the patient's lung function has declined before these symptoms appear.

I believe everyone is familiar with the disease of chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema. What is the definition of COPD, the disease is a disease that seriously endangers the breathing of the human body, and has the characteristics of a long period, difficult and easy. In order to reduce the number of patients and alleviate the pain of patients, the following is a brief introduction to the main causes of COPEMMA.

The pathogenesis of COPG has not yet been fully elucidated. It is generally believed to be formed by a variety of factors. Such as sensation, smoking, air pollution, occupational dust and harmful gases, etc.

Long-term inhalation of allergic factors can cause obstructive emphysema. Slow bronchial loss of bronchial support normal stent effect, bronchodilation during inhalation, gas can still enter the alveoli, but during exhalation, the bronchial tube is excessively narrowed and closed, hindering the discharge of gas, and a large amount of gas accumulates in the alveoli, so that the alveoli are significantly expanded and the pressure increases. Alveolar rupture can occur due to persistent alveolar hyperdistension and a sudden increase in internal pressure.

Multiple alveoli rupture and fuse into pulmonary bullae, which compresses the capillaries of the alveolar wall, reduces blood **, dystrophy of lung tissue, inflammation causes the elasticity of the alveolar wall, and finally forms obstructive emphysema. It is also thought that the occurrence of COPEMA is also related to genetic factors. The titer of A1-antitrypsin in normal human serum can increase accordingly with the intensification of inflammation to protect lung tissue from being destroyed by excessive proteolytic enzymes, and people lacking A1 antitrypsin, when there is inflammation in the lungs, the proteolytic enzymes of neutrophils and macrophages can damage lung tissue and cause chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema.

All of the above is a brief introduction to the main ** of COPEMMA, I hope it can be helpful to you. The disease is very harmful to the human body, so it is necessary to strengthen self-exercise in daily life and take preventive measures. Try to avoid the disease.
