2. Findings


The Pink Puffer and the Blue Bloater
Emphysema person who overcomes his obstruction by pursing his lips and ability to oxygenate better than the blue bloater giving patients gaps or take short, fast breaths. This often causes them temporary redness or pink coloring on their cheeks and faces. The work of breathing results in excessive use of accessory muscles of respiration and they lose muscle mass In chronic bronchitis the  cannot overcome the obstruction and therefore poorly aerated lungs lead to decrease perfusion and subsequent greater hypoxemia with subsequent vasoconstriction of pulmonary vasculature and pulmonary hypertension and then heart failure ad edema
