INVESTIGATION
Ultrasound abdomen
CXR
FBC, LFT, BUSE, creatinine
• A disease state characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible
• May include diseases that causes airflow obstruction e.g. emphysema, chronic bronchitis or a combination of both.
• Can co exist with asthma
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
• Irritation of airway causes mucus secreting glands and goblet cells to increase in numbers and ciliary function is reduced and more mucus is produced.
EMPHYSEMA
• Impaired of gas exchange results from destruction of the walls of our distended alveoli.
• Cigarette smoking• Air pollution• Recurrent infection• Aging• 2˚ smoking
RISK FACTORS
• Pneumonia• Atelectasis• Pneumothorax• Cor Pulmonale• Pulmonary hypertension• Respiratory insufficiency or failure
COMPLICATION
• Lymphocyte- 18.7% (20-45%)
• Monocyte- 16.6% (1 – 11%)
FBC
• Total protein- 55 g/L (3.0 – 9.2)
• Albumin- 23 g/L (34 - 48)
• A/G Ratio- 0.7 (1.0 – 2.0)
• Total bilirubin- 53.2 umol/L (2.0 – 28.0)
LFT
• SGOT/AST- 182 u/L (7 – 44)
• Alkaline phosphatase- 306 u/L (40 - 128)
• Gamma-GT- 567 u/L (7 – 55)
LFT
• Urea- 15.2 mmol/L (3.0 – 9.2)
• Sodium- 123 mmol/L (135 - 155)
• Creatinine- 273 umol/L (60 – 150)
BUSE/ Creatinine
• Emphysematous lungs. Bilateral upper lobe fibrosis
CHEST X-RAY
• Changes are suggestive of liver cirrhosis with ascites.

BULLECTOMY
• A removal surgical option for certain patient with bullous emphysema.
• Bullae (enlarged air space in thorax) that do not contribute to ventilation but occupy space in the thorax.
LUNG VOLUME REDUCTION SURGERY
• Treatment option for end-stage COAD (stage lll) with a primary emphysematous.
• Removal of a portion of the diseased lung parenchyma. This allows the lung functional tissue to expand, resulting in improved elastic recoil of lungs and improved chest wall and diaphragmatic mechanics.
LUNG TRANSPLANTATION
• For end-stage emphysema.
• Rarely done and most patient died while waiting for donor.
Ineffective breathing pattern related to reduced lung expansion and occlusive airflow.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Impaired gas exchange and airway clearance due to obstruction of airway and ventilation-perfusion inequality.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Alteration in bowel habit related to loose motion.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Alteration in ADL related to fatigue, ineffective breathing and hypoxemia.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Potential infection related to intravenous cannulation.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Potential alteration in nutritional status less than body requirement related to nausea and loss of appetite.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
Knowledge deficit related to home management.
• Improving gas exchange and breathing pattern - DBE
• Improving activity intolerance by mild exercise
• Avoid pollution and 2˚ smoking• Avoid extreme temperature (cold or
hot)• Modifying lifestyle• Relaxation and stress management
