Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi are riled and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli are impaired. This COPD concept map template depicts chronic obstructive pulmonary disease's causes, symptoms, and treatments. The template can be used to visualize facts about any other disease you are researching easily. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a group of diseases that cause airflow obstruction and breathing difficulties. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are examples. COPD makes it difficult for the 16 million Americans suffering from it to breathe. EdrawMind is the best tool for creating a COPD Concept map.

COPD
Epidemiology
Consider both bronchitis and emphsema together under the rubric of COPD. Third leading cause of death in the United States, over 15 million persons with COPD. Cigratte smoking remains the principle cause Chronic dust and chemical perfume exposure are also contributing risk factors increased age, men, whites, and persons of lower socioeconomic status are more at risk
Pathophysiology
Inspired irritants result in airway inflammation with infiltration of neutrophilis, macrophages, and lymphocytes into bronchial chest wall. Continual bronchial inflammation causes bronchial edema, an increase in size and number of mucous glands and goblet cells in the airway epithelium, smooth muscle hypertrophy with fibrosis, and narrowing of the airway.
Treatment
Bronchodilators
Mucolytics
Antioxidants
Anti-inflammatory drugs
Chest Physical Therapy
Oxygen
Diagnosis
Based on hisotry of symptoms, physicalexamination, chest imaging, pulmonary function tests, andblood gas analysis
Clinical Presentation
Cough with sputum production
Wheezing
Coarse Crackles
Tachycardia
Breath Sounds Decreased in Intensity
SOB with exertion
Clubbed Fingers
Barrel Chest
Cyanosis
