1 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) COPD is a common lung disease. There are 2 main types of COPD: Emphysema involves the alveoli or small air sacs being irritated. Over time the air sacs get stiff and will not let oxygen into and carbon dioxide out of your blood. Trachea (windpipe) Tongue Chronic bronchitis involves the large and Diaphragm small airways getting swollen and full of mucus. The mucus can block the airways and make it hard to breathe. Many people with COPD have both types. This disease develops over years. Treatment can ease signs and keep the disease from getting worse. Right lung Left lung Throat (pharynx) Esophagus (to stomach) Bronchus (large airway) Alveoli Bronchioles (small airways) Causes The leading causes of COPD are: Smoking Working in a polluted environment where you breathe in large amounts of dust, fumes, smoke or gases Second hand smoke 1

2 COPD ( 만성폐색성폐질환 ) COPD 는흔한폐질환입니다. 크게두종류의 COPD 가있습니다 : 폐기종은폐포또는작은공기주머니가손상되어생깁니다. 시간이지나면서공기주머니가굳어져혈액속으로산소를투입하고이산화탄소를배출하지못하게됩니다. 기관 ( 숨통 ) 만성기관지염은큰기도와작은기도가붓고점액으로꽉찬현상입니다. 점액이기도들을막기때문에숨쉬기가힘들어집니다. 많은 COPD 환자들은이두종류를다갖고있습니다. 이질환이악화되기까지는몇년이걸립니다. 치료를받으면증세들을완화하고질환이악화되는것도막을수있습니다. 혀 우측폐 격막 좌측폐 목 ( 인두 ) 식도 ( 위로 ) 기관지 ( 큰기도 ) 폐포 기관지 ( 작은기도 ) 이유 COPD 의주원인들은다음과같습니다. 흡연 대량의먼지, 매연, 연기또는가스등이존재하는오염된작업환경 간접흡연 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Korean. 1

3 Signs The signs of COPD are: Ongoing cough with or without mucus Wheezing Feeling short of breath that gets worse with activity Chest tightness These signs can be serious enough to affect your daily activities. Your Care Your doctor will do a medical exam and order tests such as: Pulmonary function test to see how well your lungs are working Chest x-ray CT scan Blood test The damage to your lungs from COPD cannot be reversed and there is no cure. With the help of your health care team, you can manage the disease to slow its progress. To manage your COPD: Stay active. Quit smoking. Maintain a healthy weight. Eat a balanced diet. Drink a lot of fluids. 2

4 증상 COPD의증상 : 잦은기침 ( 점액이동반하거나동반하지않음 ) 숨쉴때쌕쌕거림 숨이차고활동을하면더악화됨 가슴이답답함 이런증세들은일상활동을방해할정도로심각할수있습니다. 치료의사가진찰하고아래검사를지시할것입니다 : 폐들이얼마나잘활동하는가알아보기위한폐기능검사 흉곽엑스레이 CT 스캔 혈액검사 COPD 로인한폐손상은돌이킬수없으며완전한치료도없습니다. 의료팀의도움으로병의진행을늦출수있습니다. COPD 를관리하려면 : 활동적인생활. 금연 건강한체중유지 균형식단 수분을많이섭취 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Korean. 2

5 Control stress. Take your medicines such as inhalers, steroids and antibiotics as ordered. Do home oxygen therapy if ordered. Attend a pulmonary rehab program to learn about COPD and exercise to improve your health. Get a flu shot each year and talk to your doctor about getting a pneumonia shot. Get treatment right away if you get a cold or other infection in your nose or lungs.
