Imaging,the advent of computed tomography (CT) and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) which currently provide the most sensitive and specific means of diagnosing generalized emphysema .. In addition a variety of dynamic imaging techniques give pathophysiologic information.

Epistemic and Disciplinary Reflexivity,to a wide variety of insults. Thus, a bronchial infection which would have only minor effects in a healthy individual can tip the COPD patient into frank respiratory failure. In this chapter we will review the clinical presentation and treatment of acute respiratory failure in patients with COPD.

Chronic bronchitis thus became one of the first diseases to be defined for the purposes of epidemiologic research.
