➡️ Emphysema Overview
Emphysema is an obstructive disease that results in increased lung expansion due to air trapping. It causes irreversible damage to the alveolar walls which results in permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles. Emphysema along with Chronic Bronchitis are the two primary types of COPD.
➡️ Causes of Emphysema:
▪ Smoking cigarettes or tobacco
▪ Air pollution
▪ Genetics
➡️ Signs and Symptoms of Emphysema:
▪ Hypoxemia
▪ Shortness of breath
▪ Wheezing
▪ Use of accessory muscles while breathing
▪ Diminished breath sounds
▪ Pursed-lip breathing
➡️ Emphysema Diagnosis:
▪ Vital signs
▪ Pulse oximetry
▪ Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) results
▪ Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT)
▪ Chest x-ray
▪ Computed Tomography (CT) scan
▪ Electrocardiogram (ECG)
➡️ Treatment for Emphysema:
The goal of treating Emphysema is to increase the patient’s life expectancy and quality of life while decreasing the number of exacerbations and hospital visits.
➡️ Here are some of the general treatment methods:
▪ Medications
▪ Smoking cessation
▪ Disease management education
▪ Pulmonary rehab
▪ Avoiding triggers
▪ Avoiding recurrent infections
Again, patients with Emphysema are treated on a case-by-case basis and the methods can vary depending on the severity of their symptoms. We wanted to create this quick video to give you a brief overview of this topic. We'll be breaking it down into much more detail in a separate video.
