COPD is the abbreviation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. COPD is a lung disease that results from obstructions in the airways of the lungs that lead to breathing problems. Although COPD is a progressive disease, early diagnosis and treatment may slow its progression. COPD may be complic...
What is tidal volume easy definition? Lung Volumes: There are many different lung volumes that can be measured with the human breath. Breathing is a unique process because it can be done autonomically (i.e. when sleeping) or we can manipulate it manually (i.e. when taking a deep breath...
Spirometry is the most reliable way to test your lungs for COPD. Your doctor may call spirometry by another name including: pulmonary function test (PFT) or lung function test. Other additional tests may include Chest X-rays (to rule out other possible diagnoses), and even blood tests (to ...
Only a less percentage of the lung's total capacity is ventilated within each breath, especially during quiet breathing. This means that only a fraction of the total alveoli are ventilated, usually in the upper lobes, while much of the remaining lung is temporarily collapsed. Airways supplying ...
testPost-lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is defined as an unexplained fall in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)≥20% of baseline (B). There have been reports in adults that FEF25−75% (>30% decline from B) is more sensitive than FEV1 for the early ...
Ive written about this before, but this is such an important an misunderstood topic; one that effects most chronic lungers and causes more suffering than any…
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and often fatal lung disease most commonly encountered in older individuals. Several decades of research have contributed to a better understanding of its pathogenesis, though only two drugs thus far have shown treatment efficacy, i.e., by slowing...
