Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common respiratory condition that is characterized by inflammation of the large and small peripheral airways , the alveoli and adjacent capillary networks. Severe airflow obstruction that imposes a significant load on the respiratory system is a major manifestation of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The reduced expiratory airflow also causes air trapping at the end of expiration , producing alveolar pressure that are higher than atmospheric pressure before the next breath. This condition is intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure .

Conditions

• Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Mechanical ventilator	Mechanical ventilation, in the healthcare setting or home, helps patients breathe by assisting the inhalation of oxygen into the lungs and the exhalation of carbon dioxide. Depending on the patient's condition, mechanical ventilation can help support or completely control breathing.
