- 2. Definition • COPD is a common, preventable, and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases.
- 3. COPD includes • 1. Chronic bronchitis: is defines as chronic productive cough onmost days for at least 3 consecutive months in 2 successive years. • 2.Emphysema: is defined as dilatation and destruction of air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles without obvious fibrosis.
- 4. EPIDEMIOLOGY • Prevalence directly related to tobacco smoking and use of biomass fuel in low and middle income countries. • Current estimates suggest that 80 million people worldwide suffer from moderate to severe disease. • A/c to BOLD and other large scale epidemiological studies, it is estimated that no. of COPD cases was 384M in 2010 with global prevalence of 11.7% • Globally around 3 million deaths occur annually • With increasing prevalence and ageing , COPD prevalence expected to rise over next 40 years and by 2060 there may be 5.4 million deaths annually.
- 5. RISK FACTORS
- 8. Clinical features: • Dyspnea: - Progressive over time - Characteristically worse with exercise - Persistent • Cough: - May be Intermittent or may be unproductive - Recurrent Wheeze • Chronic Sputum production: - May be dry or productive - Usually mucoid in nature - Mucopurulent during acute exacerbation
- 9. Physical signs: • Inspection: - Barrel-shaped chest , - Accessory respiratory muscle participate ,Prolonged expiration during quiet breathing. Expiration through pursed lips - Paradoxical retraction of the lower interspaces during inspiration (ie, hoover's sign) - Tripod Position
- 11. Tripod Position • Patients with end-stage COPD may adopt positions that relieve dyspnea, such as leaning forward with arms outstretched and weight supported on the palms or elbows.
- 12. • Palpation: - Decreased vocal fremitus • Percussion : - Hyper resonant - Depressed diaphragm, - Diminution of the area of absolute cardiac dullness.
- 13. • Auscultation: - Vesicular with Prolonged expiration - Reduced breath sounds - The presence of wheezing during quiet breathing - Crackle can be heard if infection exist.
- 17. • The presence of a post- bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70 confirms the presence of persistent airflow limitation and thus of COPD.
- 22. • ABG: pH<7.3- sign of acute respiratory compromise Type II RF: Chronic Bronchitis Type I RF: Emphysema • CBC: Polycythemia Hematocrit>50 • Sputum examination: Streptococcus pneumonia Hemophilus influenzae Moraxella catarrhalis Klebsiella pneumonia
- 23. Chest x-ray-Chronic Bronchitis • No apparent abnormality • Or thickened and increased lung markings are noted. No apparent abnormality Or thickened and increased lung markings are noted.
- 24. Chest X-Ray -Emphysema • Marked over inflation is noted with flattened and low diaphragm • Intercostal space becomes widen • A horizontal pattern of ribs • A long thin heart shadow • Decreased markings of lung peripheral vessels
- 25. CT(Computed tomography) • Greater sensitivity and specificity for emphysema for evaluation of bullous disease

- 28. • General: Exercise and management of Nutritional status Weight loss if obese • Reduce exposure to noxious agents: 1.Smoking cessation: aided by Bupropion(Noradrenergic antidepressant), varenicline(Nicotinic receptor agonist antagonist) 2.Reduce Indoor and outdoor air pollution 3.Avoid dusty and smoke laden environment
- 37. Surgical Intervention • Bulla: Bullectomy • Lung volume reduction surgery • Lung Transplantation
- 39. Acute exacerbation of COPD • Is defined as any event in natural course of COPD characterized by a change in patient’s baseline dyspnoea, cough and/or sputum that is beyond normal day to day variations. • Causes: 1.Infection 2.Air pollution 3.Cold
- 40. Management • Initial treatment: 1. Position the patient up in bed 2. O2 therapy 3. If condition is not improving, intubation may be required • Bronchodilator: 1. SABA: Nebulized Salbutamol 2.5mg every 20 min for initial 1-2 hr &/or 2. Short anticholinergic: Nebulized Ipratropium bromide 0.5mg &/or 3. IV Aminophylline: Failure of above treatment Loading dose:250mg IV in 20 min Maintenance dose: 0.5-0.7mg/kg/hr in 1 ltr of saline at 2.4ml/kg/hr
- 41. • Antibiotics: 1. Outpatient: a. Doxycycline,cotrimoxazole or amoxiclav b. Hospitalized pt >65 yrs: give one of the newer FQs(Levoflox,Gemiflox,Moxiflox) 2. Hosptalized: IV anibiotics: Azithro or FQs or 3rd gen Cephalosporins 3. Severe exacerbations: 3rd gen Cephalosporin + FQs or an aminoglycoside • Antibiotics should cover S. pneumoniae, H. influenza, Legionella sp.
- 42. • Steroids: Shortens recovery time, improve Lung function and hypoxia. Hydrocortisone 200mg IV repea 6-8 hrly or Methyl prednisolone1-2mg/kg IV 6hrly not to exceed 125mg : F/U with oral steroid: Presdnisolone 40-60mg/day in tapering dose • Monitoring • Mgso4 IV single dose : 1.2-2gm infused over 20 min • Diuretics: In pts with gross Rt. Ventricular failure
- 44. • NIPPV: 1.CPAP 2.BiPAP MOA: 1. Prevents airways to collapse and air trapping 2. Reduces need for ET intubation
