Blue Bloater

A popular term for the appearance of a patient with COPD with symptoms of chronic bronchitis, normal to decreased lung capacity, increased residual volume with air-trapping, decreased expiratory flow, and characteristic arterial blood gas parameters—decreased PO2, increased PCO2—despite normal diffusing capacity, cyanosis and right heart failure, due to sleep apnea and progressive chronic pulmonary hypertension; with time, it becomes indistinguishable from other forms of COPD
