Emphysema is a type of COPD characterized by damage to the alveoli in the lungs. Symptoms unique to emphysema include barrel chest, pink skin, and using accessory muscles to breathe.

A characteristic chest shape in some COPD patients, especially those with emphysema. The chest appears wider than normal.

A breathing technique sometimes used by COPD patients, especially those with emphysema, to improve air exchange and strengthen the lungs.

Diagnosis involves a chest X-ray and blood gas analysis (ABGs) to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Treatment includes long-term management, supplemental oxygen, breathing treatments, and pulmonary rehab. During exacerbations, supportive care such as oxygen, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, antibiotics, and IV fluids, is used.

The movement of air into and out of the alveoli.

Rapid and deep breathing, lowering CO2 in blood.

Slow and shallow breathing, increasing CO2 in blood.

Low levels of oxygen in the blood.

Delivery of oxygenated blood to tissues.

Gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) in lungs.

The process of supplying oxygen to the body tissues.

Lifestyle choices that can affect oxygenation, such as diet, exercise, smoking, stress, and environment.

A condition of excess body fluid.

IV fluids with solute concentration similar to blood.

IV fluids with higher solute concentration than blood.

Maintaining proper distribution of fluids in body tissues.

Regular measurement of a patients weight to monitor fluid changes.

Concentration of solutes in fluid (per kg of solvent).

Concentration of solutes in fluid (per liter).

A solution with a lower solute concentration than inside a cell.

A solution with a higher solute concentration than inside a cell.

Low sodium levels in the blood.

High sodium levels in the blood.

Risk is high when clients have increased urination, potentially leading to low potassium (hypokalemia).

Risk is high when clients have been vomiting or having diarrhea for extended periods increasing the risk of low potassium (hypokalemia).
