TRANSCRIPT:
What Is COPD?
COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is characterized by a long-term blockage in the airways. Most of the time, COPD means you have bronchitis or emphysema that won't go away, which can lead to both immediate and lasting damage to your lungs and body.
What Happens with COPD?
When we breathe, air enters the lungs and moves through small tubes, called bronchial tubes. At the end of each of these bronchial tubes are small, balloon like sacs called alveoli. These act as filters between the air in the lungs and the blood that moves throughout the body. The thin walls of the alveoli allow oxygen from the air to go into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to pass from the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled. This is what keeps the body's cells alive and functioning.
In people with COPD caused by emphysema, the alveoli filters become damaged. Their elasticity becomes reduced, limiting the ability for the alveoli to move as you inhale and exhale. They also become permanently enlarged, which increases the overall size of your lungs and puts greater strain on your chest muscles to breathe in and out.
In people with COPD caused by chronic bronchitis, the lining of the bronchial tubes become inflamed and thickened. This can narrow the airways. The air passageways can also become blocked because of increased mucus production caused by active and enlarged mucus glands. The cells that help move mucus out of the body can become damaged, reducing your ability to clear mucus from your air passages, which makes breathing difficult.
Causes of COPD
More than 85 percent of COPD cases are caused by smoking tobacco. A chemical in smoke stimulates inflammation in the lungs, leading to either chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Heavy smokers are at the greatest risk-cigarette smokers have more risk than cigar and pipe smokers. A very small number of cases (1 to 2 percent) are caused by a hereditary condition known as "familial emphysema." The remaining causes of COPD are unknown.

http://www.nucleusinc.com/medical-animation Millions of people die each year from smoking. This 3D medical animation is part of an anti-smoking campaign ad, showing how smoking causes normal alveolar sacs to become enlarged and thinned over time from emphysema. Because the alveoli cannot contract, air is trapped in the lungs and the smoker cannot breathe out effectively.

Surgical Treatment of Emphysema
Joseph B. Shrager, professor of cardiothoracic surgery at the Stanford University Medical Center, speaks about new surgical treatments for emphysema that could dramatically improve symptoms and, in many cases, increase longevity. Current medical treatments of emphysema provide a modest degree of palliation, but there is no medical therapy that dramatically improves emphysema patients' shortness of breath or improves their survival. The new surgical treatments that Dr. Shrager shares could completely change the way emphysema is treated.
