Postgraduate Certificate in Advances in COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease in which the air passages of the lungs become narrowed and inflamed, making it difficult to breathe. The main cause of this disease is smoking, but it can also be caused by exposure to toxic substances and air pollutants.

In the human body, the lungs have small airways called bronchioles. During COPD, these bronchioles become inflamed and shrink in size, making breathing difficult and reducing the flow of oxygen in the blood.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) classification.

Pulmonary emphysema: In this form of COPD, the alveoli (air bubbles) in the lungs are destroyed, making breathing more difficult.

Chronic bronchitis: This form of COPD is characterized by inflammation of the airways due to increased mucus and coughing.

Treatment for COPD includes medications, such as bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids, which help improve breathing and reduce bronchial inflammation. Oxygen therapy may also be recommended to help maintain adequate blood oxygen levels.

In addition, smoking cessation is recommended to stop the progression of the disease. It is also important to avoid exposure to atmospheric irritants and work on preventing symptoms.

Regular physical exercise can be beneficial for those diagnosed with COPD, as it can improve lung capacity and overall endurance. It is also important to eat a healthy diet and maintain an appropriate weight to decrease the strain on the respiratory system.

COPD is a chronic lung disease that causes a decrease in airflow due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Treatment of COPD includes medications, oxygen therapy, exercise and a healthy diet. In addition, smoking cessation and avoiding exposure to irritants are important to prevent progression of the disease.

Health care professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat COPD include primary care physicians, pulmonologists, ophthalmologists and pulmonary nurses, among others. In some cases, additional specialists such as thoracic surgeons or respiratory physiotherapists may be required to provide physical therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation.
