Siyini isifo esingelapheki sokuvimbela kwamaphaphu?

Isifo esingapheliyo se-pulmonary disease (COPD) sisho ukuqoqwa kwezifo zamaphaphu okungaholela ezindleleni ezivalekile zomoya. Lokhu kungenza kube nzima ukuphefumula futhi kubangele ukukhwehlela, ukuphefumula, nokukhiqizwa kwamafinyila.

Abantu abane-COPD bavame ukuthuthukisa ezinye izimo nezifo ezihlobene ne-COPD.

Kulabo abaphila ne-COPD, konke ukuphefumula kungaba nzima. Abantu abane-COPD bangaba sengozini yezinkinga ezinkulu ezingabeki impilo yabo engcupheni kuphela, kepha futhi zibulale. Nazi ezinye zalezo zinkinga, kanye namathiphu wokuzivimbela.

Inyumoniya

I-pneumonia yenzeka lapho amagciwane afana namagciwane noma amagciwane engena emaphashini, edala ukutheleleka.

Ngokusho kwalokhu, izimbangela ezivamile zegciwane le-pneumonia yigciwane lomkhuhlane, elibangela umkhuhlane, kanye ne-virus ye-syncytial virus (RSV). I-CDC ibuye iphawule ukuthi imbangela ejwayelekile ye-pneumonia yebhaktheriya I-Streptococcus pneumoniae.

I-pneumonia ibalwa ngokulingana nomkhuhlane njengembangela yesishiyagalombili yokufa ezweni. Ukugula kuyingozi kakhulu kulabo abanesistimu yamaphaphu ebuthakathaka, njengalabo abane-COPD. Kulaba bantu, kungadala umonakalo owengeziwe wokuvuvukala emaphashini.

Lokhu kungaholela ekuphenduleni kwamaketanga kwezifo ezinganciphisa amaphaphu futhi ziholele ekuwohlokeni okusheshayo kwezempilo kubantu abane-COPD.

Impilo ephelele iyisihluthulelo sokuvimbela ukutheleleka kubantu abane-COPD. Nawa amanye amathiphu wokunciphisa ubungozi bokutheleleka:

• Phuza uketshezi oluningi, ikakhulukazi amanzi, ukuze ugcine ama-bronchioles enempilo ngenkathi unciphisa amafinyila nezimfihlo.
• Yeka ukubhema ugwayi ukuze ugcine amasosha omzimba anempilo nempilo yamaphaphu.
• Geza izandla zakho njalo.
• Gwema ukuxhumana nabantu obaziyo ukuthi banezifo zokuphefumula.
• Khubaza abangani abagulayo nomndeni ekuvakasheni ikhaya lakho.
• Thola umuthi wokugomela i-pneumonia nomuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane waminyaka yonke.

Ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo kweCOPD

Enye yezinkinga ezibucayi kakhulu ze-COPD ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo.

Ngoba abantu abane-COPD banamazinga aphansi e-oksijini egazini labo futhi ngoba ukusebenza kwamaphaphu kuhlangene kakhulu nokusebenza kwenhliziyo, inhliziyo yabo izothinteka lapho amaphaphu abo egula.

Ngokusho kwe-, lokhu kungaholela ekutheni umfutho wegazi ophakeme we-pulmonary uze ufike ezingeni elifanelekile lokuhluleka kwenhliziyo okwenzeka kumaphesenti ama-5 kuye kwayishumi abantu abane-COPD esezingeni eliphezulu.

Kubantu abaningi, ukuphatha ngokwanele i-COPD kungasiza ekuvimbeleni lesi sifo ukuthi sithuthuke size sifike lapho sibangela ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo.

Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi izimpawu eziningi zokwehluleka kwenhliziyo zingafana nalezi ze-COPD, kungaba nzima kubantu ukuthi babone ukuthi banezinkinga zenhliziyo.

Isinyathelo sokuqala sokuvimbela ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo ukunciphisa ukuqhubeka kweCOPD. Nazi izindlela ezimbalwa ezilula ongakwenza ngazo lokhu:

• Zibandakanye ekusebenzeni komzimba okuncane kuya kokulingene ukwakha umfutho wenhliziyo namaphaphu.
• Namathela kuhlelo lwakho lokwelashwa lwe-COPD njengoba uqondiswe udokotela wakho.
• Yeka ukubhema ngokushesha okukhulu.

Umdlavuza wamaphaphu

Njengoba i-COPD ivame ukubangelwa ukubhema, akumangazi ukuthi abantu abane-COPD nabo basengozini enkulu yokuba nomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

Noma kunjalo, ukubhema kungenzeka kungabi ukuphela kokuxhumana phakathi kweCOPD nomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Ukuchayeka kwamanye amakhemikhali asemvelweni acasula amaphaphu kungadala ukuthi umuntu athambekele ekuthuthukiseni umdlavuza weCOPD noma wamaphaphu. Izakhi zofuzo nazo zingadlala indima.

Njengoba umdlavuza wamaphaphu uvame ukubulala, kubalulekile ukuthi abantu abane-COPD bagweme izinto ezilimaza amaphaphu, ikakhulukazi ukubhema.

Isifo sikashukela

I-COPD ayibangeli isifo sikashukela, kodwa kungenza kube nzima ukuphatha izimpawu ezinzima zesifo sikashukela. Inkinga eyodwa ephawulekayo yokuba ne-COPD kanye nesifo sikashukela yikhona okungenzeka kube nemithi ethile esetshenziselwa ukwelapha i-COPD ukuphazamisa ukulawula i-glucose.

Abantu abanesifo sikashukela kanye ne-COPD bangathola ukuthi izimpawu zabo ziba zimbi ngoba isifo sikashukela singenza umonakalo ohlelweni lwabo lwe-cardiovascular, olungadlulela futhi luthinte ukusebenza kwabo kwamaphaphu.

Ukubhema kungazonakalisa izimpawu zesifo sikashukela kanye ne-COPD, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuyeka ukubhema ngokushesha okukhulu.

Ukufunda ukuphatha ushukela wegazi lakho, imvamisa ngosizo lukadokotela wakho, kungasiza ukugcina izimpawu zeCOPD zingakhungatheki. Isifo sikashukela esingalawulwa esidala amazinga aphezulu kashukela egazini kungaholela ekwehliseni ukusebenza kwamaphaphu.

Sebenza nodokotela wakho ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imishanguzo abayinikezayo izosebenza ukwelapha zombili lezi zimo ngemiphumela emibi kakhulu kokunye. Lokhu kungakusiza ukuphatha ngempumelelo lezi zifo ezimbili ngasikhathi sinye.

Ukuwohloka komqondo

Ukwehla kancane kancane kwengqondo kwabantu abaningi abane-COPD enzima kungaba nzima kwabathandekayo. Ukukhubazeka kwengqondo, okwenzeka kulabo abane-dementia, kuvame kakhulu kubantu asebekhulile abane-COPD, okwenza ukuphatha izimpawu kube nzima kakhulu.

I-COPD iyingcuphe yokuthuthukisa ukuwohloka komqondo. Izimo ezinjenge-oxygen ephansi namazinga aphezulu e-carbon dioxide angalimaza ubuchopho ngenxa ye-COPD, nokulimala okwengeziwe kwe-cerebrovascular okubangelwa ukubhema nakho kudlala indima ekwakheni ukuwohloka komqondo nge-COPD.

Ungasiza ekuvikeleni ukuwohloka komqondo ngokuthatha lezi zinyathelo:

• Gcina isisindo somzimba esinempilo.
• Phatha amazinga esifo sikashukela kanye ne-cholesterol.
• Ungabhemi imikhiqizo kagwayi.
• Gcina ingqondo yakho ibukhali ngokuhlanganyela njalo emisebenzini evusa ingqondo, njengama-crossword puzzle neminye imidlalo yobuchopho.

Ukuphela izigaba COPD

I-COPD iyimbangela yesithathu yokufa kwabantu e-United States.Odokotela imvamisa abakwazi ukunikeza isibikezelo ngqo ngemuva kokuthi umuntu athole ukuxilongwa kwe-COPD. Abanye abantu bangaphila izinyanga ezimbalwa kuphela, kanti abanye baphila iminyaka.

Isikhathi sokuphila sincike kakhulu eminyakeni yomuntu ngesikhathi sokuxilongwa nezinye izimo zempilo. Labo abane-COPD elinganiselayo kuya ebukhali imvamisa bazonciphisa isikhathi sokuphila naphezu kweminyaka yabo.

Ukwehluleka kokuphefumula kuyimbangela yokufa ehlobene ne-COPD. Ngemuva kwezinyanga, iminyaka, noma amashumi eminyaka ebhekene nezinkinga zamaphaphu, ekugcineni amaphaphu ayayeka ukusebenza ngokuphelele.

Ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo nakho kuyisici sokufa kwabantu kwe-COPD, kanti i-COPD ivame ukufaka isandla ezinkingeni zenhliziyo.

Uyini umbono wesikhathi eside?

I-COPD yisimo esibi, kepha kunamandla okuthi ukuqhubeka kwayo kungancishiswa ngokunakekelwa kwezempilo okufika ngesikhathi futhi okulungile. Ukwazi izimbangela, ukuxilongwa nokuqala ukwelashwa kusenesikhathi, nokuqonda ukuthi ungazama kanjani ukuvikela lesi sifo ukuthi singabi sibi okhiye bokuhlala uphilile futhi ujabulele impilo ende.
