Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a progressive, irreversible, respiratory disease affecting adults. It is characterized by chronic airflow limitation that is partially reversible, progressive and accompanied by an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Morbidity and mortality are high and COPD leads to significant disability and distressing symptoms.
