When a patient receives a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), it typically means that long-term oxygen therapy will eventually be necessary. Living with COPD takes adjustments, and Inspired Technologies is working to assist COPD patients with the best innovations in oxygen delivery devices.
What is COPD?Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung disease in which the lungs are damaged, making it hard to breathe. In COPD, the airways — the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs — are partly obstructed, making it difficult into get air in and out. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of COPD. Most people with COPD are smokers or former smokers. Breathing in other kinds of lung irritants, like pollution, dust, or chemicals, over a long period of time may also cause or contribute to COPD.
