APES Diseases Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases. Having COPD makes it hard to breathe. There are two main forms of COPD: 1  Chronic bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with mucus. 2  Emphysema, which involves damage to the lungs over time.

Overview Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, sputum production and wheezing. It's caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke.

Chronic Lung Disease Emphysema and chronic bronchitis (referred to as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis, and restrictive lung diseases are examples of serious lung conditions that can adversely affect the quality of a patient's life.

Occupational lung disease Occupational lung diseases are occupational diseases affecting the respiratory system, including occupational asthma, black lung disease (coalworker's pneumoconiosis), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), mesothelioma, and silicosis. Infectious lung diseases can also be acquired in an occupational context.

Obstructive lung disease Obstructive lung disease is a category of respiratory disease characterized by airway obstruction. Many obstructive diseases of the lung result from narrowing of the smaller bronchi and larger bronchioles, often because of excessive contraction of the smooth muscle itself.hronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive airways disease (COAD) or chronic airflow limitation (CAL), is a group of illnesses characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The flow of air into and out of the lungs is impaired.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor airflow.It typically worsens over time.OPD is a type of obstructive lung disease in which chronic incompletely reversible poor airflow (airflow limitation) and inability to breathe out fully (air trapping) exist. The poor airflow is the result of breakdown of lung tissue (known as emphysema) and small airways disease (known as obstructive bronchiolitis).

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Venn diagram of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic obstructive lung disease is a disorder in which subsets of patients may have dominant features of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma. The result is airflow obstruction that is not fully reversible.

Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Disease At the end of a full exhalation, an abnormally high amount of air may still linger in the lungs. The most common causes of obstructive lung disease are: 1  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. 2  Asthma.

Lung conditions - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term for a number of lung diseases that prevent proper breathing. Three of the most common conditions are emphysema, chronic bronchitis and chronic asthma that isn’t fully reversible.

What is Restrictive Airway Disease and what causes it? Obstructive lung disease is a category of respiratory disease characterized by airway obstruction. It is generally characterized by inflamed and easily collapsible airways, obstruction to airflow, and frequent office visits and hospitalizations.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD is a type of obstructive lung disease in which chronic incompletely reversible poor airflow (airflow limitation) and inability to breathe out fully (air trapping) exist. The poor airflow is the result of breakdown of lung tissue (known as emphysema) and small airways disease (known as obstructive bronchiolitis).he most common symptoms of COPD are sputum production, shortness of breath and a productive cough. These symptoms are present for a prolonged period of time and typically worsen over time. It is unclear if different types of COPD exist.

The Difference Between Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Disease Doctors classify lung disease as either obstructive or restrictive. The term obstructive lung disease includes conditions that hinder a person’s ability to exhale all the air from their lungs. Those with restrictive lung disease experience difficulty fully expanding their lungs.

Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Diseases Restrictive Lung Diseases. People with a restrictive lung disease have a much more difficult time filling their lungs with air. This is a result of the lungs being restricted from fully expanding. Most of the time, restrictive lung diseases occur when there is stiffness in the lungs themselves. Sometimes, this can occur when there is stiffness in the chest wall, weak muscles or damaged nerves that can restrict the expansion of the lungs. These are some of the conditions classified as restrictive lung disease:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease that gets worse over time. Emphysema: A condition that causes the air spaces inside the lungs to become permanently larger. This happens because the disease destroys the walls of the tiny air sacs inside the lungs.

Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COPD) Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COPD) Chronic means long term, obstructive refers to blockage in the airways, pulmonary refers to the lungs. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing or excess mucus in the lungs. In each disease the flow of air is obstructed. It is difficult to exhale air. The lungs do not empty rapidly and this makes it harder to get enough oxygen to meet the body's needs. More Information. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Guidelines for COPD Treatment.

Copd: Teaching Plan Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of morbidity (CDC, 2011). COPD is a group of diseases which cause airflow blockage and breathing related problems such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and some forms of asthma (CDC, 2011).COPD kills more than 120,000 Americans each year and is expected to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States by 2020.According to results of the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study, Kentucky is ranked one of the highest areas in the world for COPD cases (Mannino, 2008).OPD kills more than 120,000 Americans each year and is expected to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States by 2020.

Chronic Lung Disease Restrictive lung disease. Restrictive lung disease (chest wall diseases) can result from different problems, including interstitial fibrosis, scoliosis (spine curvature), and sarcoidosis. Some cause scarring in the lungs, while others compress the lungs.
