Bronchodilator

Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease (COPD) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is not one single disease but an umbrella term used to describe chronic lung diseases that cause limitations in the air flow. According to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) estimates (2004), currently 64 million people have COPD and 3 million died of COPD, WHO predicts that COPD will become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. Common causes of COPD: • Inhaling pollutants: Smoking

Inhibitors; Albuterol is a beta-adrenergic agonist called also sympathomimetic. It mimics the effect of sympathetic nervous systems. Anwalla et al. (2011) explained that Albuterol is a rescue medication in the treatment of airway disease. Albuterol bronchodilators use and it transport exerts a significant impact on the rate of onset and the clinical outcomes. To demonstrate the importance of the Albuterol (beta2), the National Center for Health and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) 2014 statistics show

phase three trials and are valves inserted into the bronchi. These depend on inter-lobar fissures and are only for those with heterogeneous emphysema. Long-acting muscarinic antagonists are also in study. They are molecularly different than other bronchodilators and also reduces the side effects these other drugs bring about. Gene therapy is another thing being proposed for treatment. This trial seems like it will be ongoing and may never reach the market because it is very dangerous to the patient. These

Respiratory acidosis is a condition closely related to patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). According to Ranson & Pierre, respiratory acidosis is characterized by lab values including an increased amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood and a lower, more acidic pH level (2016). More specifically, a CO2 value greater than 26 mEq/L and a pH level below 7.35 (Ranson & Pierre, 2016). These lab values signify the lungs inability to effectively eliminate the CO2 produced by the

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Have you ever known a person who smokes and has a hard time doing every day activities, due to difficulty of breath, or constantly coughing. He or she may have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD. COPD is a progressive and treatable lung disease that causes shortness of breath due to obstruction of air way (COPD, 2013). Progressive means that is gradually gets worse over time. It is a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema (Causes,2014)

Ms. Bloomfield, First of all, congratulations on decreasing the amount of cigarettes you are smoking everyday.

I look forward to working with you! Let

Summary: Robert Adams, a 50-year-old textile worker, presents to the doctor’s office with dyspnea upon exertion, and an occasional cough; rest as well as bronchodilators help to alleviate his shortness of breath and patient is a current smoker with a 60-pack-year history. Chest radiography revealed hyperinflated lungs and a flattening of the diaphragm, consistent with COPD. Question: What are the treatment options available to patients with COPD, and how are individualized assessments used to determine

Bronchiolitis is a serious respiratory illness that occurs most frequently in the first year of life and is the leading cause of hospital admissions (1, 2). It is usually caused by respiratory viruses (3, 4). Bronchiolitis is a clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms including rhinorrhoea, fever, paroxysmal cough, respiratory distress, irritability and difficulty feeding (3, 5-7). In Australia, approximately 13,500 children are admitted to hospital with bronchiolitis annually. Bronchiolitis contributes

1. Discuss the anatomy, pathophysiology and progression of COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes the illnesses; emphysema, chronic bronchitis and chronic asthma – separately or in conjunction with each other. COPD can be caused by smoking cigarettes, long-term exposure to pollutants or irritants (such as chemicals) or genetics factors. The lower respiratory system contains the lower trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli in the lungs. The bronchi form as the lower part of

Assignment 8 There are many different part in the body and diseases. Also, many different treatments for diseases. Also, there many bad side effects these treatments and medication cause. There are many different people get sick from these diseases. In this paper, I am going to research about respiratory and metabolic. There two type respiratorys that I am going to research respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalemic. There also two types of metabolic that I am going to research metabolic alkalemic
