Panlobular emphysema - what does this mean
Panlobular emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) in which the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs are damaged and enlarged, leading to difficulty breathing and decreased lung capacity. this damage is caused by the inhalation of irritants such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, and dust, as well as genetic factors.
What happens during the disease - panlobular emphysema
Panlobular emphysema is a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) caused by an abnormal accumulation of air in the alveolar walls and interstitium of the lungs. it is usually caused by an underlying genetic predisposition, exposure to environmental toxins, or a combination of the two. the accumulation of air leads to the destruction of the alveolar walls, resulting in an enlarged air space and an inability of the lungs to effectively exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. this leads to symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To improve lung function and reduce symptoms of Panlobular Emphysema
- Encourage quitting smoking and avoiding exposure to second-hand smoke
- Provide oxygen therapy to increase oxygen levels in the blood
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and open up airways
- Perform pulmonary rehabilitation exercises to improve breathing
- Recommend lifestyle changes such as avoiding strenuous activities and getting adequate rest
- Perform surgery to remove damaged lung tissue

Panlobular emphysema - Prevention
Panlobular emphysema can be prevented by avoiding smoking, controlling asthma, and reducing exposure to environmental pollutants. additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help reduce the risk of developing this disease.
