Drugs for Asthma and COPD (chapter 16)
We'll start by reviewing asthma and COPD and then discuss the different
medications used to treat them, such as anti-inflammatories like: corticos-
teroids and bronchodilators.
1.a condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, narrow, swell,
and produce extra mucus, causing bronchoconstriction.: Asthma
2.In a normal airway, the bronchioles are clear, but during an asthma attack,
the lumen becomes much narrower due to: tightened muscles around the
bron- chioles, trapping air and leading to hyperinflation.
3.with asthma The goal is to treat bronchoconstriction with?
with asthma the goal is to address the inflammation and edema with?: bron-
chodilators and address the inflammation and edema with
corticosteroids.
4.Prevalence of Asthma: Asthma is very common.
5.Severity of Asthma: Yes, it may be minor or lead to a life-threatening
attack.
6.Management of Asthma: It is managed with inhalers.
7.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): a group of lung
diseases that block airflow, making it difficult to breathe.
8.Prevalence of COPD
how many cases int he US per year: very common, with more than 3
million cases in the US per year.
9. Cure for COPD: Treatment can help but not cure COPD.
10.COPD has 2 major
diseases: Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis.
11.Emphysema affects the: alveoli, causing them to stretch and merge
into larger, less efficient air sacs, reducing surface area for gas
exchange and decreasing elasticity.
12.Emphysema affects the alevoli causing what: them to stretch and
merge into larger, less efficient air sacs,
13.Emphysema affects the alevoli causing them to stretch and merge into
larger, less efficient air sacs that reduce what?: reducing surface area for
gas exchange and decreasing elasticity.
14.Chronic bronchitis is marked by: an obstructed airway,
inflammation, and excess mucus production.
15.what is the is the third leading cause of death in the US, after
coronary artery disease and cancer.: COPD
16.Cigarette smoking is the leading cause, with 90% of people with:
, Drugs for Asthma and COPD (chapter 16)
COPD being smokers or former smokers,
, Drugs for Asthma and COPD (chapter 16)
17.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
etiology: Cigarette smoking, Environmental factors, Genetic factors
18.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
etiology: genetic factors: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency can also
contribute.
19.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Etiology
Characteristic symptoms how is breathing?: Dyspnea,
20.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Etiology
Characteristic symptoms how is mucus: Excess mucus secretions,
21.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Etiology
Characteristic symptoms
how is airway?: Airway obstruction, , Bronchospasm,
22.Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Etiology
Characteristic symptoms
effect on lung tissue: Permanent, irreversible damage to the lung tissue.
23.COPD
While treatment can slow progression, there is no: cure.
24.Administering Drugs by
Inhalation 3 Advantages:
1. Therapeutic effects are enhanced by: delivering drugs directly to their
site of action.
