Der dritte Mittwoch im November wird jedes Jahr als Welt-COPD-Tag begangen, um das Bewusstsein f\u00fcr chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankungen zu sch\u00e4rfen und Informationen \u00fcber M\u00f6glichkeiten zu ihrer Vorbeugung auszutauschen.<\/p>\n

COPD ist eine chronische Entz\u00fcndung Lungenerkrankung<\/a> Dies f\u00fchrt zu einer eingeschr\u00e4nkten Luftzirkulation in der Lunge und zu Atembeschwerden. Sch\u00e4tzungen zufolge ist sie die dritth\u00e4ufigste Todesursache und betrifft weltweit mehr als 65 Millionen Menschen.<\/p>\n

Die beiden h\u00e4ufigsten Erkrankungen, die zur COPD beitragen, sind Emphysem und chronische Bronchitis. Ein Emphysem tritt auf, wenn Alveolen (winzige Luftbl\u00e4schen in der Lunge) durch Zigarettenrauchen oder andere Reizstoffe besch\u00e4digt werden. Chronische Bronchitis verursacht eine Entz\u00fcndung der Bronchialschleimhaut, die zu anhaltendem Husten und Schleimproduktion f\u00fchrt.<\/p>\n

Menschen mit COPD haben ein hohes Risiko, an Herzerkrankungen, Lungenkrebs und anderen Komplikationen zu erkranken, einschlie\u00dflich Depressionen und Bluthochdruck in den Lungenarterien.<\/p>\n

Symptome einer COPD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicht jeder COPD-Betroffene hat die gleichen Symptome, und in den fr\u00fchen Stadien sind die Symptome meist mild. Zu den Anzeichen geh\u00f6ren Kurzatmigkeit und pfeifende Atemger\u00e4usche, insbesondere bei k\u00f6rperlicher Bet\u00e4tigung, Engegef\u00fchl in der Brust, chronischer Husten, h\u00e4ufige Atemwegsinfektionen, Energiemangel, unbeabsichtigter Gewichtsverlust und Schwellungen an Kn\u00f6cheln und Beinen.<\/p>\n

Ursachen, Risikofaktoren<\/strong><\/p>\n

COPD wird haupts\u00e4chlich durch Tabakrauchen verursacht. Auch eine l\u00e4ngere Exposition gegen\u00fcber Pfeifenrauch, Luftverschmutzung, Staub und D\u00e4mpfen von brennendem Kraftstoff kann das Risiko erh\u00f6hen. Auch Menschen mit Asthma sind einem erh\u00f6hten Risiko ausgesetzt.

Verh\u00fctung<\/strong><\/p>\n

COPD ist eine vermeidbare Krankheit und die wichtigste Ma\u00dfnahme besteht darin, mit dem Rauchen aufzuh\u00f6ren und die Belastung durch Luftschadstoffe zu minimieren. Das Tragen von Schutzausr\u00fcstung beim Arbeiten in der N\u00e4he von chemischen D\u00e4mpfen und Staub kann das Risiko einer Erkrankung verringern.<\/p>\n

Um Komplikationen durch COPD vorzubeugen, wird den Patienten die Einnahme von Grippe- und Lungenentz\u00fcndungsimpfstoffen empfohlen, die mehrere Atemwegsinfektionen verhindern.<\/p>\n
