Bronchodilators
Bronchodilators relax
the muscles around the airways. This helps open up the airways and makes
breathing easier. Most of them are taken using an inhaler. An inhaler allows
the medicine to go straight to your lungs.
Combination Bronchodilators plus Inhaled Glucocorticoids (Steroids)
Steroids help reduce airway inflammation.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Pulmonary
rehabilitation is a broad program that helps improve the well-being of people
who have chronic breathing problems.
Oxygen TherapyIf you suffer from severe COPD and low levels of 02 in your blood, oxygen
therapy can help you breath better with surgery.
Surgery
Surgery is used as a last resource if severe symptoms of COPD have not improved
from taking medication. Lung transplant can improve your lung function and
quality of life. However, lung transplants have many risks such as infections.
The surgery may lead to dead if the body rejects the transplant.
