Galleria mappe mentale BPCO (Broncopneumopatia Cronica Ostruttiva): Sintomi, Cause, Diagnosi e Terapia
This is a mind map centered around "BPCO" (Broncopneumopatia Cronica Ostruttiva), created using a visual - thinking tool. The central node "BPCO" branches out into four main sections: "broncopneumopatia cronica ostruttiva" (which describes the condition as affecting bronchi and lungs with progressive and irreversible reduction of respiratory activity, often associated with cardiac and/or respiratory pathologies), "sintomi", "cause", and "diagnosi e terapia". Under "sintomi", it lists chronic cough with sputum, increased frequency of respiratory infections, and progressive evolution leading to patient death due to respiratory insufficiency. The "cause" section attributes BPCO to cigarette smoke and exposure to irritating substances or toxic gases. In the "diagnosi e terapia" part, it mentions spirometry as a diagnostic method (where the patient blows into a tube to calculate expired air, total respiratory volume, and respiration time), notes that it cannot be cured and therapy must be looked after, and suggests long - acting bronchodilators and steroids as treatments, with the pharmaceutical approach based on tropicism for specific action on bronchial receptors.
