Ke alakaʻi nei kēia scarring i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ko lākou hiki a me ka pono. Hoʻopau ʻia ke ʻano he BO a i ʻole i kapa ʻia ʻo constrictive bronchiolitis.

Hiki i nā kumu o ka bronchiolitis obliterans ke ʻano like ʻole, mai nā ʻano lāʻau lapaʻau a me ke kaiapuni. ʻO nā maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā maʻi maʻi, bacteria, a me nā haʻi hiki ke alakaʻi i ka mumū a me ka pōʻino o ka bronchiole. Eia kekahi, hiki i ka inhalation o nā mea kemika ke hopena i kēia ʻano. ʻOiai ʻo ketones e like me ka diacetyl e pili mau ana me ka popcorn lung, ua ʻike ka National Institutes of Health i kekahi mau kemika ʻē aʻe e hiki ai ke hana, e like me ka chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, a me nā uahi metala inhaled mai ka welding.

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa no ka popcorn lung, koe wale nō ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka māmā. Eia nō naʻe, he mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i ka hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka ulu ʻana o ka bronchiolitis obliterans. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka maʻi bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS) ke kumu nui o ka hōʻole ʻana ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka māmā.

Hiki i ka vaping ke kumu o ka popcorn lung?

ʻAʻohe mea i hōʻike ʻia i kēia manawa e hōʻike ana i ka vaping ke kumu o ka popcorn lung, ʻoiai he nui nā moʻolelo e hōʻike ana. ʻAʻole hiki i nā haʻawina vaping a me nā noiʻi ʻē aʻe ke hoʻokumu i kahi pilina ma waena o ka vaping a me ka popcorn lung. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻike ʻana i ka diacetyl mai ka puhi paka i hiki ke hāʻawi i kekahi ʻike i nā pilikia e hiki mai ana. ʻO ka mea mahalo, loaʻa i ka uahi paka nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka diacetyl, ma kahi o 100 mau manawa ʻoi aku ma mua o nā pae kiʻekiʻe loa i loaʻa i nā huahana vaping. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole pili ka puhi puana me ka popcorn lung.

Wahi a ka National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), hōʻike ka poʻe puhi pumehana me ka bronchiolitis obliterans i ka hōʻino ʻana i ka ʻōpū o ka maʻi i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea puhi pumehana me nā maʻi hanu e pili ana i ka puhi ʻana e like me ka emphysema a i ʻole ka bronchitis mau. 

ʻOiai ke lawe nei ka puhi paka i nā pōʻino kaulana, ʻaʻole ʻo ka popcorn lung kekahi o kāna mau hopena. Hoʻopili ʻia ka maʻi ʻaʻai māmā, ka maʻi puʻuwai, a me ka maʻi obstructive pulmonary maʻi (COPD) i ka puhi ʻana ma muli o ka inhalation o nā pūhui carcinogenic, tar, a me carbon monoxide. I ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, ʻaʻole pili ka vaping i ka puhi ʻana, e hoʻopau i ka hana ʻana o ka tar a me carbon monoxide. I ka hihia ʻino loa, loaʻa nā vape ma kahi o hoʻokahi pākēneka o ka diacetyl i loaʻa i loko o ka paka. ʻOiai hiki i kekahi mea, ʻaʻohe mea hōʻike e kākoʻo ana i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka vaping ke kumu o ka popcorn lung.
