Research Notes on End Stage Emphysema
Emphysema is a chronic pulmonary disease associated with collapsed airways and difficulty in breathing. There are four stages of emphysema based on pulmonary spirometry. The end stage is the most serious, characterized by severe shortness of breath, respiratory infections, weight loss, and inability to perform simple physical activity. Management at this stage is mostly supportive, which includes medications; early detection and treatment of possible pulmonary infections.
