Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

According to the official definition, COPD is “a pathological condition of the respiratory system characterized by chronic and partially reversible airflow obstruction to which bronchial (chronic bronchitis), bronchiolar, (small airway disease) and parenchyma (pulmonary emphysema) changes contribute to varying degrees.”

This means that in COPD sufferers, the airways are partially obstructed, persistently, and do not allow efficient passage of air to and from the lungs, resulting in “shortness of breath” and a reactive cough.

COPD is a complex disease that tends to evolve into stages of increasing severity, alternating between periods of relative stability and phases of accelerated decline, corresponding to so-called “flare-ups.”
By definition, a COPD flare-up is characterized by a rapid and consistent worsening of typical symptoms (respiratory distress, cough, and phlegm) that exceeds the normal daily variability of the disease and is such that a change in therapy is required to be compensated.

9. Compensation

With this maneuver, the apneist returns the eardrums to a neutral position, which, due to the external pressure, which reduces the volumes of the air zones of our body, would tend to introflex to the point of injury or rupture if they were not rebalanced. Ambient pressure, which increases with depth, causes a reduction in the volume of the aerial parts of our body (lesson 3), compensating the ears reconstitute the original volumes, keeping the eardrum in a neutral position.
