NURSING INTERVENTIONS TO PREVENT POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN COPD PATIENTS
Introduction
Madison, and Irwin (1998) define Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as a sort of umbrella term that refers to a large group of lung diseases which can interfere with normal breathing. In their discussion of the various illnesses that are associated with the condition, COPD Support (2001), notes that there are three basic conditions which COPD patients can suffer from: emphysema (the progressive destruction of the grape-like sacs that exchange oxygen in the air for carbon dioxide); chronic bronchitis; and chronic asthma. Not all patients have all three conditions, although a few do.
