@sharnelgezwint3990 : My mom passed last year November from this. She was a secondary smoker for 50 years... Diabetic for years and just after her second covid vaccination shot. She developed this. She passed 3 months after developing this. I do believe she would have still be here if it wasn't for this stupid vaccinations.. She was 72. I also feels the doctors didn't do all they can for her. She initially had a heart attack. The medication they gave her. Sent her sugar levels to the sky so now she's gone and I am not happy at all. She had alot of mucus that wouldn't go away. It was really bad. The coughing. She would get really tired. I miss my mother.
@osmosis : We updated the phrase: "Even though a increased Reid index goes along with chronic bronchitis, the diagnosis is still done clinically and this measurement is not usually used diagnostically." It original said decreased.
@glennhalila8279 : This is by far the best Video on COPD and Bronchitis. Thank you for such precise drawings and explanation of every detail. I am going to study this and try to comprehend it's entirety, so that I can apply what I have learned to my particular Smoking, Caughing and Breathing Health Issues.
@CowEye : Reid index does NOT contain epithelium and cartilage.
@imanfatima6964 : How you people manage to be this much excellent tutors?
You're the Best.....

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema-NCLEX Part 1

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) nursing NCLEX lecture on the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, types (chronic bronchitis and emphysema), complications, and how it is diagnosed. COPD is a pulmonary disease that causes chronic obstruction of airflow from the lungs. The cause of the limited airflow is due to chronic inflammation and narrowing of the bronchioles which becomes deformed over time and produces excessive mucous (mainly in chronic bronchitis) and the loss of elasticity of the alevoli sacs (mainly found in emphysema). These problems lead to limited gas exchange such as respiratory acidosis due to extreme retention of carbon dioxide (CO2) and low availability of oxygen. COPD is a "catch all" term used to describe diseases that limit airflow which now includes diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Patients with chronic bronchitis are sometimes referred to as "blue bloaters". This is because of the cyanosis and edema (hence the bloating) experienced with this disease. Patients with emphysema are sometimes referred to as "pink puffers". These patients do not experience cyanosis, although they have low oxygen levels but maintain a "pink" appearance due to the compensatory state of hyperventilation keeping the oxygen level sufficient enough. The hyperventilation leads to the increased usage of the accessory muscles which leads to a barrel chest look (increased anteroposterior diameter noted on inspection). Signs and symptoms of COPD include: chronic dry or productive cough, lack of energy, extreme dyspnea, abnormal blood gases, abnormal lung sounds (coarse crackles or wheezing), barrel chest, tripod position for breathing, poor nutrition, recurrent lung infection etc. Complications of COPD include: heart disease such as right-sided heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, pneumothorax, pneumonia, increase risk of lung cancer. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is diagnosed with spirometry. Don't forget to watch Part 2 which includes the nursing interventions and medication regime for COPD.

Understanding COPD | Duke Health

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death in the U.S. People with the disease can have chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, but in its early stages, COPD may go undetected. That's why it's important to visit your doctor regularly and to stop smoking -- by far, the most common cause of COPD.

Here, Duke pulmonologist Lingye Chen, MD discusses what COPD is, symptoms to look for, how COPD is diagnosed, and how to manage the condition.
