Emphysema is a chronic disease in which the elastic retraction force of the respiratory fine bronchi, alveolar sacs, alveolar ducts and alveoli is reduced, resulting in overinflation and inflation. Emphysema does not necessarily affect the life expectancy of patients, so the survival time of 60-year-old patients with emphysema varies from person to person. There are more causes of emphysema, such as bronchitis, bronchiectasis, asthma, and long-term smoking. Patients with emphysema have poorer lung function than normal people. If early emphysema is effectively controlled and the emphysema no longer progresses or progresses at a slower rate, it generally does not affect the patient’s life expectancy. If the patient’s emphysema is more severe and the heart fails, the patient’s lungs are vulnerable to infection at this time, and the patient’s quality of life and life expectancy will be reduced, with some patients surviving only a few months. In addition, for long-term survival, emphysema patients must quit smoking, exercise properly, avoid strenuous exercise, and pay attention to cold to prevent infection in the lungs.
