COPD

A

preventable and treatale disease that is characterized by persistenatn respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is d/t airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exxposure to noxious particle or gases

  • GOLD 4 - very severe: FEV1 < 30%
27
Q

  • 0 or 1 moderate exacerbations (NOT leading to hospitalzations)
  • AND mMRC >2, CAT >10
29
Q

COPD Group E requirements

A
  • 2+ moderate exacerbations in past year OR
  • 1+ in the last year that led to hospitalzation
30
Q

COPD Group A initial treatment

A

bronchodilator (LABA or LAMA preferred over SABA or SAMA UNLESS there is only occasional dyspnea)
- still give a SABA, SABA, or SAMA/SABA for symptom relief

31
Q

COPD Group B intial treatment

A

LABA+LAMA
- still give a SABA, SABA, or SAMA/SABA for symptom relief

32
Q

COPD Group E initial treatment

A

LABA+LAMA (LABA+LAMA+ICS if blood eosinophil >300)
- still give a SABA, SABA, or SAMA/SABA for symptom relief

33
Q

COPD follow-up: patient has dyspnea as predominant feature

A
  • Escalate to next step (LABA or LAMA → LABA+LAMA)
  • Consider switching inhaler type
34
Q

COPD follow up: patient has exacerbation as predominatn feature

A
  • If on LABA or LAMA,
    • Escalate to LABA+LAMA
      • If blood eos>300, go all the way to LABA+LAMA+ICS i
  • If on LABA+LAMA
    • If FORMER smoker, add zithro
    • If FEV1 <50% AND chronic bronchitis, add roflumilast
    • If blood eos >100, escalate to LABA+LAMA+ICS
35
Q

COPD ICS descalation

A
  • can consider de-escalating to LABA+LAMA if NO exacerbations in past year
    • If pt has a hx of asthma or features of asthma present, ICS is INDICATED
36
Q

COPD mild exacerbation treatment

A

SABA

37
Q
