Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Broad classifications of disease
COPD
• Characterized by
– airflow limitation
– Irreversible
– Dyspnea on exertion
– Progressive
– Abn. inflammatory response of the lungs to
noxious particles or gases
Pathophysiology
• Noxious particles of gas 
• Inflammatory response 
– (occurs throughout the airways, parenchyma and
pulmonary vasculature)
• Narrowing of airway
Pathophysiology
•
•
•
•
•
Injury  Repair
Injury  repair
Injury  repair
Injury  Repair
Injury  repair  scar tissue 
– Narrowing of lumen
Pathophysiology
• Inflammation 
• Thickening of the wall of the pulmonary
capillaries
• (Smoke damage & inflammatory process)
COPD
• Includes
– Emphysema
– Chronic bronchitis
• Does not include
– Bronchiectasis
– Asthma
COPD - FYI
• COPD 4th leading cause of death in the US
• 12th leading cause of disability
• Death from COPD is on the rise while death
from heart disease is going down
COPD
Risk Factors for COPD
• Exposure to tobacco smoke
–
•
•
•
80-90% of COPD
Passive smoking
Occupational exposure
Air pollution
COPD risk factors
• #1
– Smoking
• Why is smoking so bad??
– ↓ scavenger cell ability
– ↓ cilia function
– Irritates goblet cells & Mucus glands 
• ↑ mucus production
Chronic Bronchitis
• Disease of the airway
• Definition:
– cough + sputum production
– > 3 months
– 2 consecutive years
Chronic Bronchitis
Pathophysiology
• Pollutant irritates airway 
• Inflammation + h secretion of mucus 
• h goblet cells +
• h mucus secreting glands + h Mucus
• i ciliary function
Chronic Bronchitis
• Plugs become areas for bacteria to grow and
chronic infections which increases mucus
secretions and eventually, areas of focal
necrosis and fibrosis
Chronic Bronchitis
• Bronchial walls thicken
– Bronchial Lumen narrows
– Mucus plugs airway
• Alveoli/bronchioles become damaged
• ↑ alveolar macrophages 
• ↑ susceptibility to LRI
What do you think?
Exacerbation of Chronic bronchitis is most likely
to occur during?
A. Fall
B. Spring
C. Summer
D. Winter
Emphysema
Pathophysiology
• Affects alveolar membrane
– Destruction of alveolar wall
– Loss of elastic recoil
– Over distended alveoli
Emphysema
Pathophysiology
• Over distended alveoli
– Damage to adjacent pulmonary capillaries
– h dead space
– Impaired passive expiration
•  Impaired gas exchange
Emphysema
• Impaired gas exchange
– impaired expiration
•
•
•
•
Hypoxemia
h CO2 
Hypercapnia
Respiratory acidosis
Emphysema
• Damaged pulmonary capillary bed
– h pulmonary pressure 
– h work load for right ventricle 
– Right side heart failure (due to respiratory
pressure) 
– Cor Pulmonale
COPD

___________?
– Airway
