Case Study of a Patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The case presented is a patient called RS. People who have a history of smoking for many years may be directly related to his development of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) called type B. It is estimated that the main reason is smoking, 90% of chronic bronchitis or "blue spots". Chronic bronchitis is accompanied by persistent and irreversible airway obstruction due to persistent inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, resulting in bronchial gland enlargement and hyperplasia.

Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are considered by many as being variants of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and are thought by many investigators to be part of the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a chronic cough that lasts more than 3 months for 2 consecutive years. Colon excision such as nicotine replacement therapy, β-2 agonist, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease drug such as anticholinergic drug (bronchodilator), combination drug using steroid and long-acting bronchodilator, mucolytic drug, oxygen therapy Surgery such as surgery, lung volume reduction surgery and lung transplant

One way to alleviate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD). Staging is based on the results of pulmonary function tests. Specifically, based on the individual patient's physical parameters, the forced expiratory volume (FEV 1) for 1 second of the standard predictive value (FEV 1) (which amount of air is forced to be expelled) is measured. The staging of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by this method is as follows. The main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke. It is estimated that 90% of the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related to tobacco smoke. Smoke is also secondhand smoke (cigarette smoke inhaled by non smokers after being exhaled by smokers).
