COPD COPD COPD COPD COPD  Causes of COPD - Smoking causes most cases, 15-20% of those who smoke will develop COPD but there is also many other causes. - 3 in 4 cases will occur to smokers. - Exposure to occupational dusts and chemicals - Exposure to “biomass” smoke (ex. Burning coal, wood, or charcoal) - Exposure to second hand smoke - Depending on your health, age, and symptoms, People with severe stages of COPD lose about 8- 9 years of life expectancy on average. - Researchers have found life expectancy with COPD is reduced further for past and current smokers. - You have a good chance of living for 10-20 years after diagnoses if disease is well managed and controlled. Symptoms  A B C B Long lasting cough ( Short of breath, Respiratory Infections Losing weight Over 3 months ) and especially during ( Flu, acute bronchitis, without trying and Cough with mucus physical activity pneumonia) feeling tired more and wheezing often Support Groups: Lung Health.ca Canadian Lung Association- Breath Program- https://www.lung.ca/?gad_source=1 Canada Lung Health Association https://lunghealth.ca/supporting-canadians-living-with-copd/ And there are many social media teams supporting those with the disease. Treatment Options Quit Smoking – Get help from support groups (More information on next slide) COPD prescribed medication Pulmonary Rehabilitation Supplemental Oxygen Non-invasive ventilation (N.I.V) Endobronchial Valve (EBV) Surgery Clinical Trials Prescribed Steroids Use Inhalers Regularly ( If recommended by a doctor) Exercise ( Aerobics are best for you to use your oxygen more efficiently)  There is no proper cure More than 2 million people in Canada are living with COPD mainly including 26% of Canadians over 85. Average age of development is after 35 years old. Facts Researchers believe that you should avoid sodas, energy drinks, fizzy drinks, and any other aerated drinks to allow the body to have enough fluid to carry all metabolic activities, it is best to just drink water. Can lead to bigger consequences if not taken care of, such as lung cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression. More Facts: Famous singing Amy Winehouse developed the disease after smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes. The doctors told her if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her. Which in 2011, she died of alcohol poisoning anyway. Scented candles, perfumes, hairsprays, air fresheners, and strong laundry detergent can trigger a reaction if you have the disease. It can affect your ability to hold a job and handle daily activities on your own. Average age of development is after 35 years old. Researchers have discovered that vaping can make COPD worse from a short study that proved that people who vaped got COPD more often than people who didn't. There is four distinct stages; mild, moderate, severe, and very severe Stages Stage 1 Symptoms are mild and often unnoticed, except during times of exertion. These include mild shortness of breath and a nagging dry cough. Stage 2 Shortness of breath worsens, accompanied by a persistent cough and phlegm production. Flare-ups can cause changes in phlegm color. Stage 3 Symptoms become more severe, especially in the mornings, with more frequent flare-ups. Some notice swollen ankles, feet and legs. Stage 4. Breathing takes greater effort. Heartbeat can become fast or irregular. A crackling sound can be heard in the chest when breathing. Delirium, weight loss or pulmonary hypertension are possible. Sources: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/chronic- diseases/chronic-respiratory-diseases/chronic-obstructive- pulmonary-disease-copd.html https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8709-chronic- obstructive-pulmonary-disease-copd https://gaapp.org/diseases/copd https://www.lung.ca/copd 4 PowerPoint tricks I learned how to make a cool tittle slide by having a 3D model and aligning the text to the center of the 1st slide, so it morphs into 3 tittles on the second slide. I also learned how to put pictures in shapes, by inserting a shape, copying it to have as many as you want, then group the shapes together. Format the shape and chose picture fill. The third tip I learned was how to zoom into a word and transition it to become a separate slide with information (prognosis slide) The fourth tip I learned was how to morph my symptoms slide to slide together and make a super cool transition. All my tips were from The PowerPoint Guy on Tictok.
