CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE REFLECTIVE (COPD) ESSAY, GRADED A

Document Content and Description Below

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE REFLECTIVE (COPD) ESSAY, GRADED A-COPD denotes Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The increasing prevalence of this disorder marks it as a significant global ... health concern, resulting in a considerable disease burden for both the society and the infected individuals. The increase in the incidence and the burden associated with COPD seem to be growing. Prince et al. (2016, p.331) blames several factors for the increasing burden and prevalence of COPD, including the barely changing smoking popularity, the overall aging linked to the global population, as well as increasing air pollution across the world. More so, Guo et al. (2018, p.43) note that the disease might be one of the significant causes of death and among the top causes of DALYs (disability-adjusted life years) globally by the end of the next decade. In this case, COPD will present a high increase regarding the DALY-caused rankings and mortality compared to 1990. Johnsen et al. (2016, pp.39-48) highlight that deaths caused by Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are common in the middle to low-income countries. Besides, these nations constitute about 90% of the worldwide COPD deaths. In other words, professionals should place more effort and attention on the control and prevention of COPD, particularly in these regions. Regardless of denoting a growing worldwide health risk, experts still regard Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a treatable and preventable health challenge. Pursuing this further, suggested methods of managing COPD often revolve around the application of inhaled medication. Furthermore, Guo et al. (2018, p.43) agree that the use of inhaling drugs ensures direct and accurate administration of treatment to the appropriate part and reduces the chance of systematic absorption. Administering medications through inhalations not only decreases the possibility of ensuing side effects but also enhances the chances of medical benefit application. [Show More]
