Yintoni iCOPD?

Isifo esinganyangekiyo semiphunga, esaziwa ngokuba yiCOPD, liqela lezifo zemiphunga eziqhubela phambili. Ezona zixhaphakileyo yi-emphysema kunye ne-bronchitis engapheliyo. Abantu abaninzi abaneCOPD banazo zombini ezi meko.

I-Emphysema yonakalisa kancinci izingxobo zomoya kwimiphunga yakho, ephazamisa ukuhamba komoya kwangaphandle. I-bronchitis ibangela ukudumba kunye nokuxinana kwemibhobho ye-bronchial, evumela ukuba i-mucus yakheke.

Isizathu esiphambili seCOPD kukutshaya icuba. Ukuvezwa kwexesha elide kwizicaphukisi zamachiza nako kunokukhokelela kwiCOPD. Sisifo esihlala sithatha ixesha elide ukukhula.

Ukuchongwa kuhlala kubandakanya uvavanyo lwe-imaging, uvavanyo lwegazi, kunye novavanyo lomsebenzi wemiphunga.

Akukho lunyango lweCOPD, kodwa unyango lunokunceda ukunciphisa iimpawu, linciphise amathuba okuba neengxaki, kwaye ngokubanzi liphucule umgangatho wobomi. Amayeza, unyango olongezelelweyo lweoksijini, kunye notyando zezinye zeendlela zonyango.

Ukunganyangwa, i-COPD inokukhokelela ekuqhubekeni ngokukhawuleza kwezifo, iingxaki zentliziyo, kunye nokwanda kwezifo zokuphefumla.

Kuqikelelwa ukuba malunga nezigidi ezingama-30 zabantu e-United States bane-COPD. Uninzi lwesiqingatha alazi ukuba lunalo.

Ziziphi iimpawu zeCOPD?

I-COPD yenza kube nzima ukuphefumla. Iimpawu zisenokuba mnene ekuqaleni, ukuqala ngokukhohlela okwethutyana kunye nokuphefumla okufutshane. Njengoko iqhubeka, iimpawu zinokuhlala zihlala rhoqo apho kunokuba nzima khona ukuphefumla.

Unokuba namavili kunye nokuxinana esifubeni okanye ube nemveliso engaphezulu yesikhohlela. Abanye abantu abane-COPD banezinto ezixhalabisayo, ezibonisa iimpawu ezinzima.

Ekuqaleni, iimpawu zeCOPD zinokuba mnene. Ungabaphosisa ngengqele.

Iimpawu zokuqala zibandakanya:

• ukuphefumla kancinci ngamanye amaxesha, ngakumbi emva kokuzilolonga
• ukukhwehlela kancinci kodwa okuphindaphindayo
• ufuna ukucoca umqala wakho rhoqo, ngakumbi into yokuqala kusasa

Iimpawu zinokuthi ziqhubeke ngokuthe chu kwaye kube nzima ukungahoyi. Njengoko imiphunga isonakala ngakumbi, unokufumana:

• ukuphefumla kancinci, nasemva kokuzilolonga kancinci njengokuhamba ngezinyuko
• ukuvutha, oluhlobo lokuphefumla olunengxolo ephezulu, ngakumbi ngexesha lomphunga
• ukuqina kwesifuba
• ukukhwehlela okungapheliyo, kunye okanye ngaphandle kwencindi
• Kufuneka ususe i-mucus kwimiphunga yakho yonke imihla
• ukubanda rhoqo, umkhuhlane, okanye olunye usulelo lokuphefumla
• ukunqongophala kwamandla

Kwimigangatho yamva yeCOPD, iimpawu zinokubandakanya:

• ukudinwa
• ukudumba kweenyawo, amaqatha okanye imilenze
• ukuhla ukusinda

Unonophelo lonyango olufunekayo kwangoko luyafuneka ukuba:

• uneminwe eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okanye engwevu okanye imilebe, njengoko oku kubonisa amanqanaba aphantsi eoksijini egazini lakho
• unengxaki yokubamba umphefumlo wakho okanye awukwazi ukuthetha
• uziva udidekile, unodaka, okanye utyhafile
• Intliziyo yakho iyangxama

Iimpawu zinokuba zibi kakhulu ukuba ngoku uyatshaya okanye uhlala uchanekile kumsi otshayayo.

Funda ngakumbi malunga neempawu zeCOPD.

Yintoni ebangela iCOPD?

Kumazwe aphuhlileyo anjengeMelika, oyena nobangela uphambili weCOPD kukutshaya icuba. Phantse iipesenti ezingama-90 zabantu abaneCOPD batshaya okanye babetshaya ngaphambili.

Phakathi kwabantu abatshayayo ixesha elide, ama-20 ukuya kuma-30 eepesenti avelisa iCOPD. Abanye abaninzi bakhulisa iimeko zemiphunga okanye banciphisile ukusebenza kwemiphunga.

Uninzi lwabantu abaneCOPD ubuncinci baneminyaka engama-40 kwaye ubuncinci banembali yokutshaya. Ukutya kunye nokutya kwecuba okude ukutshaya, umngcipheko omkhulu weCOPD. Ukongeza umsi wecuba, umsi wecuba, umsi wombhobho, kunye nomsi otshayo onokubangela iCOPD.

Umngcipheko weCOPD mkhulu kakhulu ukuba unesifo sombefu kunye nomsi.

Unako kwakhona ukuphuhlisa i-COPD ukuba uchanabeke kwiikhemikhali kunye nemisi kwindawo yokusebenzela. Ukuvezwa kwexesha elide kukungcoliseka komoya kunye nothuli olungena ngaphakathi kunokubangela iCOPD.

Kumazwe asakhasayo, kunye nomsi wecuba, amakhaya ahlala engenamoya ungako, enyanzela iintsapho ukuba ziphefumle umsi ovela kumlilo ovuthayo osetyenziselwa ukupheka kunye nokufudumeza.

Kukho ukubakho kwemfuza ekuphuhliseni i-COPD. Ukufikelela kuqikelelo lwabantu abane-COPD abanesiphene kwiprotein ebizwa ngokuba yi-alpha-1-antitrypsin. Oku kusilela kubangela ukuba imiphunga yehle kwaye kunokuchaphazela isibindi. Kukho ezinye izinto ezinxulumene nemfuza edlalwa ngokunjalo.

I-COPD ayosuleli.

Ukuchonga iCOPD

Akukho vavanyo olunye lweCOPD. Ukuxilongwa kusekelwe kwiimpawu, uvavanyo lomzimba, kunye neziphumo zovavanyo lokuqonda isifo.

Xa undwendwela ugqirha, qiniseka ukukhankanya zonke iimpawu zakho. Tshela ugqirha wakho ukuba:

• uyatshaya okanye ukhe watshaya ngaphambili
• utyhilekile kwizicaphukisi zemiphunga emsebenzini
• uchanabeke kumsi omninzi otshayayo
• Unembali yosapho yeCOPD
• Unesifuba okanye ezinye iimeko zokuphefumla
• uthatha i-counter-counter okanye amayeza kagqirha

Ngexesha lovavanyo lomzimba, ugqirha wakho uya kusebenzisa i-stethoscope ukumamela imiphunga yakho njengoko uphefumla. Ngokusekwe kulo lonke olu lwazi, ugqirha unokuyalela ezinye zeemvavanyo ukuze ufumane umfanekiso opheleleyo:

• Ukujonga iimvavanyo kubandakanya i-X-ray yesifuba okanye i-CT scan. Le mifanekiso inokubonelela ngokweenkcukacha kwimiphunga yakho, kwimithambo yegazi nakwintliziyo.
• Uvavanyo lwegesi yegazi e-arterial lubandakanya ukuthatha isampulu yegazi kwimithambo ukulinganisa ioksijini yegazi lakho, icarbon dioxide, kunye namanye amanqanaba abalulekileyo.

Ezi mvavanyo zinokunceda ukumisela ukuba unayo i-COPD okanye imeko eyahlukileyo, efana nesifuba, isifo semiphunga esithintelayo, okanye ukusilela kwentliziyo.

Funda kabanzi malunga nendlela i-COPD ifunyaniswa ngayo.

Unyango lweCOPD

Unyango lunokunciphisa iimpawu, kuthintele iingxaki, kunye nokuhamba kwesifo ngokuthe ngcembe. Iqela lakho lokhathalelo lwempilo linokubandakanya ingcali yemiphunga (i-pulmonologist) kunye neengcali zomzimba nezokuphefumla.

Amayeza

I-Bronchodilators ngamayeza anceda ukukhulula izihlunu zomoya, ukwandisa iindlela zomoya ukuze uphefumle lula. Zihlala zithathwa nge-inhaler okanye nge-nebulizer. I-Glucocorticosteroids inokongezwa ukunciphisa ukudumba kwiindlela zomoya.

Ukunciphisa umngcipheko kwezinye izifo zokuphefumula, cela ugqirha wakho ukuba ufanele ufumane umkhuhlane wonyaka, i-pneumococcal vaccine, kunye ne-tetanus booster equka ukukhuselwa kwi-pertussis (ukukhwehlela).

Unyango lweoksijini

Ukuba inqanaba lakho leoksijini liphantsi kakhulu, unokufumana ioksijini eyongezelelweyo ngesigqumathelo okanye ngeempumlo zeempumlo ukukunceda uphefumle ngcono. Iyunithi ephathekayo inokwenza kube lula ukuhamba ngeenxa zonke.

Ugqirha

Ugqirha lugcinelwe i-COPD enzima okanye xa olunye unyango lusilele, olunokwenzeka xa unesimo se-emphysema esibi.

Olunye uhlobo lotyando lubizwa ngokuba yi-bullectomy. Ngexesha lale nkqubo, oogqirha basusa iindawo ezinkulu, ezingaqhelekanga zomoya (i-bullae) kwimiphunga.

Olunye utyando lokunciphisa ivolumu yemiphunga, olususa izicwili zomzimba eziphezulu ezonakeleyo.

Ukufakelwa kwemiphunga kukukhetha kwezinye iimeko.

Amayeza eCOPD

Amayeza anokuzinciphisa iimpawu kwaye anciphise ukuvutha komlilo. Kungathatha uvavanyo kunye nephutha ukufumana amayeza kunye nomthamo osebenza ngcono kuwe. Olu lolunye lwezinto onokukhetha kuzo:

Abaxhasi be-bronchodilators

Amayeza abizwa ngokuba zi-bronchodilators anceda ukukhulula izihlunu eziqinileyo zendlela yakho yomoya. Ngokuqhelekileyo zithathwa nge-inhaler okanye i-nebulizer.

I-bronchodilators emfutshane isebenza ukusuka kwiiyure ezine ukuya kwezintandathu. Usebenzisa kuphela xa uzifuna. Ngeempawu eziqhubekayo, kukho iinguqulelo ezisebenza ixesha elide onokuzisebenzisa yonke imihla. Zihlala malunga neeyure ezili-12.

Ezinye ii-bronchodilators zikhetha i-beta-2-agonists, kwaye ezinye ziyi-anticholinergics. Ezi bronchodilators zisebenza ngokuphumla kwezihlunu eziqinisiweyo zomoya, ezandisa iindlela zakho zomoya ukuze uhambe ngcono. Zikwanceda umzimba wakho ukuba ususe imicu emiphungeni. Ezi ntlobo zimbini ze-bronchodilators zinokuthathwa ngokwahlukeneyo okanye ngokudibeneyo nge-inhaler okanye nge-nebulizer.

ICorticosteroids

I-bronchodilators esebenza ixesha elide ihlala idityaniswa ne-inhaled glucocorticosteroids. I-glucocorticosteroid inokunciphisa ukuvuvukala kwindlela yomoya kunye nemveliso yencindi esezantsi. I-bronchodilator esebenza ixesha elide inokuyiphumlisa imisipha yomoya ukunceda iindlela zomoya zihlale zibanzi. Iicorticosteroids zikwakhona kwifom yeepilisi.

I-Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors

Olu hlobo lonyango lunokuthathwa kwifom yeepilisi ukunceda ukunciphisa ukudumba kunye nokuphumla komoya. Ngokuqhelekileyo imiselwe i-COPD enzima kunye ne-bronchitis engapheliyo.

Ithiophylline

Eli yeza linciphisa ukuqina kwesifuba kunye nokuphefumla okufutshane. Inokukunceda ekuthinteleni i-flare-ups. Iyafumaneka kwifom yeepilisi. I-Theophylline liyeza elidala elihlaziya izihlunu zomoya, kwaye kunokubangela iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga. Ngokuqhelekileyo ayilona unyango lokuqala lwe-COPD.

Amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane kunye neentsholongwane

I-antibiotics okanye i-antivirals inokumiselwa xa uhlakulela izifo ezithile zokuphefumula.

Isitofu

I-COPD inyusa umngcipheko wezinye iingxaki zokuphefumla. Ngenxa yeso sizathu, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa ukuba ufumane umkhuhlane wonyaka, i-pneumococcal vaccine, okanye isitofu sokukhwehlela.

Funda ngakumbi ngamachiza kunye namayeza asetyenziselwa ukunyanga i-COPD.

Iingcebiso ngokutya kubantu abaneCOPD

Akukho ndlela ityiwayo yeCOPD, kodwa ukutya okunempilo kubalulekile ekugcineni impilo yonke. Ukomelela kwakho, kokukhona uya kuba nakho ukuthintela iingxaki kunye nezinye iingxaki zempilo.

Khetha iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokutya okunesondlo kula maqela:

• iingxaki zentliziyo
• uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu kwimithambo yemiphunga (uxinzelelo lwegazi)
• umhlaza wemiphunga
• ukudakumba noxinzelelo

Funda ngakumbi ngamanqanaba ahlukeneyo eCOPD.

Ngaba kukho unxibelelwano phakathi kweCOPD kunye nomhlaza wemiphunga?

I-COPD kunye nomhlaza wemiphunga ziingxaki ezinkulu zempilo kwihlabathi liphela. Ezi zifo zibini zidibene ngeendlela ezininzi.

I-COPD kunye nomhlaza wemiphunga unezinto ezininzi ezinobungozi. Ukutshaya yeyona nto iphambili kuzo zombini izifo. Zombini zinokwenzeka ukuba uphefumla umsi otshayayo, okanye uvezwe kwiikhemikhali okanye kwenye imisi emsebenzini.

Kukho ukubakho kwemfuza ekuphuhliseni zombini izifo. Kwakhona, umngcipheko wokuphuhlisa i-COPD okanye umhlaza wemiphunga uyanda ngokuguga.

Kwaqikelelwa ngo-2009 ukuba phakathi kwabantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu banayo i-COPD. Oku kwagqitywa ekubeni i-COPD iyingozi yomhlaza wemiphunga.

Ukucebisa ukuba banokuba yimicimbi eyahlukeneyo yesifo esinye, kwaye i-COPD inokuba yinto yokuqhuba kumhlaza wemiphunga.

Ngamanye amaxesha, abantu abafundanga ukuba bane-COPD de bafunyaniswe benomhlaza wemiphunga.

Nangona kunjalo, ukuba neCOPD akuthethi ukuba uza kufumana umhlaza wemiphunga. Oko kuthetha ukuba unengozi ephezulu. Esi sesinye isizathu sokuba, ukuba uyatshaya, ukuyeka licebo elilungileyo.

Funda ngakumbi malunga neengxaki ezinokubakho zeCOPD.

Iinkcukacha-manani zeCOPD

Ehlabathini lonke, kuqikelelwa ukuba malunga nabantu bane-COPD ephakathi. Phantse izigidi ezili-12 zabantu abadala eUnited States bafumanisa i-COPD. Kuqikelelwa ukuba zizigidi ezili-12 ngaphezulu ezinesi sifo, kodwa abakasazi okwangoku.

Uninzi lwabantu abaneCOPD baneminyaka engama-40 ubudala okanye ngaphezulu.

Uninzi lwabantu abaneCOPD batshaya okanye babetshaya ngaphambili. Ukutshaya yeyona nto ibalulekileyo emngciphekweni enokutshintshwa. Phakathi kwama-20 ukuya kuma-30 ekhulwini abantu abatshayayo abangapheliyo bakhulisa i-COPD ebonisa iimpawu kunye neempawu.

Phakathi kwe-10 ukuya kuma-20 ekhulwini yabantu abaneCOPD abazange batshaye. Ukuya kubantu abane-COPD, unobangela kukuphazamiseka kwemfuza kubandakanya ukusilela kweprotein ebizwa ngokuba yi-alpha-1-antitrypsin.

I-COPD ngoyena nobangela uphambili wokulaliswa esibhedlele kumazwe ahambele phambili. EUnited States, i-COPD inoxanduva lokutyelelwa liSebe elinongxamiseko kunye nokwamkelwa esibhedlele. Ngonyaka ka-2000, kwaqatshelwa ukuba kukho utyelelo olungaphaya kwesebe olungxamisekileyo. Phakathi kwabantu abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu, phakathi kweCOPD.

Abantu abamalunga ne-120,000 babulawa yi-COPD minyaka le e-United States. Yimbangela yesithathu ekhokelela ekufeni eUnited States. Uninzi lwabafazi kunamadoda asweleke kwiCOPD minyaka le.

Kuqikelelwa ukuba inani lezigulana ezifunyaniswe zinayo i-COPD liza kunyuka ngaphezulu kweepesenti ze-150 ukusuka kwi-2010 ukuya kwi-2030. Uninzi lwayo lunokubangelwa kukuguga kwabantu.

Jonga ngakumbi iinkcukacha-manani malunga neCOPD.

Yintoni umbono wabantu abaneCOPD?

I-COPD ithambekele kwinkqubela phambili kancinci. Usenokungazi nokuba unayo ngexesha lokuqala.
