Why is the oxygenation of the blood less efficient in people with emphysema?

Just so you know, emphysema is a disease of the respiratory system where the walls of the alveoli break down due to repeated inflammation of the alveolar walls. Over time, the walls of the alveoli rupture resulting in increased volume of the air sacs.

There is less of the kind of "close contact" between the capillaries and the enlarged alveoli they normally "encircle". As the volume of the air sacs increases, the distance that oxygen has to travel from alveolus to capillary becomes greater.

There can also be compression or constriction of the blood flow, and it creates a vicous cycle. The areas where the emphysema is worst… bulge the most… and mash on the capillaries - - preventing blood flow going properly to neighboring areas where the emphysema is less severe.

How long does the pain and swelling take to go away after being diagnosed with dental emphysema?

Posted by admin | Posted in emphysema | Posted on 17-01-2009

Last week I had 2 cavities filled by my dentist and about 2 hours after I left his office I was in horrible pain, I went back later that day for him to examine me and I was told I had dental emphysema. He put me on penecilin for 1 week. So far I still have a lot of pain and swelling, and I have one day left of medicine. Any suggestions?

Emphysema after dental care is caused by introduction of air into the soft tissues during dental treatment. Are you sure he said emphysema? Sounds more like you have pulpitis or a nerve infection..

Whats the difference between chronic bronchitis and emphysema?

I am doing an essay on the Lungs and bronchitis and I came across a website that says " Chronic Obstructive Pulmanory Disease" Refers to 2 lung diseases Chronic Bronchitis and emphysema which is obstruction to the airflow. I know about bronchitis, but I was wondering if there is a difference between the two. thanks
thanks for the info everyone, im having a look at the pdf now. it looks really good by the way cheers

Perhaps Bronchitis can be cured? I should think so. Anything with 'itis' at the end means an inflammation of, i think. Emphysema is, eventually, fatal.

How long can you live with Emphysema?

My husband just found out he has Emphysema. I’m not sure what phase he might be in, but it’s very confusing. He has never smoked, but both parents smoked all his life. He is now 27 yr old how long can he live with this??? All the websites are not very clear on it.

Emphysema in a 27 year old non-smoker?? I have to seriously — I do mean VERY seriously — doubt that diagnosis. My advice to you would be to get your husband to some different doctors. Pulmonary specialists, internal disease specialists, as many as you need to go to. There are many, many diseases and disorders that can look like emphysema on a chest X-ray. Several are auto-immune or even genetic (like enzyme deficiencies). Has he had either vaccinations or viral infections recently? If so, over-stimulation of the immune system has been recently linked to the onset of many auto-immune disorders.

To answer your question, people can live a very long time with emphysema. I’m willing to bet, however, that emphysema is NOT what he has.

Good luck…
