Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder is a disease of the respiratory system in which a person cannot breathe out normally. COPD is accompanied by dry cough, wheezing, and rales in the majority of cases. Patients may also experience difficulty breathing and be lethargic. The patient has a considerable amount of activity intolerance. Oxygen saturation remains below 80 percent in the maximum number of cases or ranges between 70-80. Though it is not curable, its progression can be halted and can be managed effectively following the advice of health care professionals, be it from the background of Medical or Nursing Sciences.
