Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ranks as one of the major causes of disability in the Philippines today. The natural history of COPD, namely emphysema and chronic bronchitis, causes progressive irreparable structural pulmonary damage and diminishes the cardio-respiratory reserves. Bronchiectasis is a persistent or progressive condition characterized by dilated thick-walled bronchi. It

may be associated with other non-specific respiratory symptoms including dyspnea, chest pain and hemoptysis, and may progress to respiratory and corpulmonare. It is a systemic, progressive debilitating disease that affects patient’s daily activities and quality of life. A major complaint of dyspnea or shortness of breath is due to accumulation of secretions. Bronchiectasis is one of the chronic lung disorders that has caused patients affected with this condition considerable physical disability, morbidity and mortality. The Center(LCP), through the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Section, conducts lectures and physical therapy on patients diagnosed with COPD/Bronchiectasis, and subsequently encourages them to join the COPD Support Group. COPD/Bronchiectasis Support Group members meet several times a year to attend refresher courses and to socialize. General Assemblies are conducted three times a year—first, in January during the COPD Support Group Foundation Anniversary, second, in August during Lung Month, and third, during the Christmas season.

On Ways to Improve Quality of Life of Patients with COPD

Ang Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) ay isang kondisyon kung saan hirap pumasok at lumabas ang hangin sa baga.

Totoo na permanente ang sira sa baga ngunit may nga paraan upang mapaganda at magkaroon ng mas mahaba at mas makabuluhang buhay.

Ang pinakamahalagang hakbang ay tumigil sa paninigarilyo dahil puwede nitong mapigilan ang lalo pang pagkasira ng baga.

Malaking tulong din ang Pulmonary Rehabilitation na nagtuturo sa ang pasyente kung paano huminga nang tama, paano bumangon mula sa hingal, at paano manatiling masigla kahit may COPD.
