COP D: (chronic) Flashcards
COPD Dx
Spirometer: post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <0.70
COPD presentation
- DYSPNEA - progressive, persistent, and worse with exercise
- Chest tightness post-exerise
- Cough - intermittent or persisent, productive or not
- Chronic sputum production
- Wheezing - varies
- Commorbidites
Risk factors for COPD
- Cigarette smoke
- second hand smoke
- Occupational dust and chimmcals
- Pollution
- Genes: alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
- Hx of severe childhood respiratory infections
- Lower socioecoomic status
- Increased age
COPD
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
- pts have a mix of emphysema and bronchitis
Chronic COPD treatment optiosn
- Bronchodilators
- SABA
- LABA
- SAMA
- LAMA
- Theophylline
- Corticosteroids
- ICS
- systemic
- Phsophodiesterase inhibitors
chronic COPD pharmacotherapy classes
- bronchodilators: short and long acting beta agonsits adn muscarinic antags, theophylline
- inhaled corticosteroids
- phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor (roflumilast)
Beta agonist MOA in COPD
stimulate beta2 adrenergic receptors → relax airway smooth msucle → bronchodilation
SABA mono prodcuts for COPD
- albuterol MDI, DPI, and neb
- levalbuterol MDI and neb
LABA mono produts for COPD
- salmeterol DPI (also available for asthma)
- formoterol neb
- olodaterol respimat
- aformoterol neb
- indacterol DPI
muscarinic antag MOA in COPD
block bronchoconstrictor effects of ACh on the M3 muscaric receptors in airway smooth msucle
SAMA mono products for COPD
- ipratropium MDI and neb (has a slighly longer duration of action thatn SABAs)
LAMA mono products for COPD
- tiotropium respimat (SMI, also available for asthma) and DPI
- aclidinium DPI
- umeclidinium DPI
- glycopyrrolate DPI and neb
- revefenacin neb
Muscarinic antag ADR
- dry mouth - techincally anticholinergic but little systemic absorption
- Tiotropium may cause metallic taste
theophylline in chornic COPD
not preferred, less effective and less well tolerated than other long acting bronchodilators
Short acting combo products for COPD
SABA + SAMA: albuterol/ipatropium respimat and duoneb
