Q

What is bronchitis?

A

acute or chronic condition in which excessive mucus is secreted into the bronchi causing cough and shortness of breath

17
Q

What is bronchiectasis?

A

An irreversible dilation or widening of bronchi or bronchioles that may result from repeated pulmonary infection or obstruction

18
Q

What is COPD?

A

a form of persistent obstruction of the airways that causes difficulty emptying the lungs of air, may be cause by emphysema or chronic bronchitis

19
Q

What is COPD?

A

a form of persistent obstruction of the airways that causes difficulty emptying the lungs of air, may be cause by emphysema or chronic bronchitis

20
Q

What does COPD stand for?

A

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

21
Q

What is emphysema?

A

An irreversible and chronic lung condition in which air spaces in the alveoli become greatly enlarged as a result of alveolar wall destruction and loss of elasticity. Air is not easily expelled during expiration.

22
Q

What is pleurisy?

A

Inflammation of the pleura surrounding the lungs

23
Q

What is pneumonia?

A

Inflammation of the lungs that results in accumulation of fluid within certain sections of the lungs causing increased radio densities in these regions

24
Q

What is a pneumothorax?

A

An accumulation of air in the pleural space that causes partial or complete collapse of the lung
