PULMONARY DISEASE
Definition
EMPHYSEMA
an anatomically defined condition
characterized by destruction and enlargement
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
condition characterized by destruction and
enlargement the lung alveoli
Definition
Persistent airflow limitations that
is usually progressive and
associated with an enhanced
chronic inflammatory response in
the airway and the lung to
noxious particles or gas.
RISK FACTORS
Tobacco smoke
Indoor air pollution
Occupational dust and chemicals
Outdoor air pollution
Smoki

Elastin Hypothesis
Balance between elastin and anti
elastin proteases determines the
susceptibility of lung to damage
Anti elastin
elastin
Level of damage
Large airways
- Result in mucus gland enlargement
and goblet cell hyperplasia
- Cough and mucus secretions
( CHRONIC BRONCHITIS)
Small airways
- Goblet cell metaplasia, shift to
mucus secreting from Clara cells
Airflow limitation
Major physiologic change in COPD
Due to small airway obstruction in
emphysema

Spirometry
Spirometry is required
Post-bronchodilator
FEV1/FVC <70%
Index of airflow limitations
FVC volume of air forcibly exhaled from
the point of maximal inspiration
FEV1 volume of air exhaled after 1st
second, how quick the lung is emptied
Post-bronchodilator
FEV1/FVC <70%
Normal: 0.70-0.80 in adults
COPD: <0.70
FEV declines over time, used to
measure the progression of COPD,
reliable interval spans 12 months

Stable patients
Management should be individualized
Non pharmacologic
Management of
exacerbations
Acute event characterized by
worsening of the patients symptom
that is beyond the normal day-to-day
activity and leads to changes in
medications
Most common cause respiratory
infection
Assessment of exacerbations
WBC: Polycythemia or bleeding
Purulent sputum
Electrolyte imbalance, poor
nutrition, poorly controlled DM
