  1. Respiratory Disorders Module 2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

  2. Process • Step 1. Complete Module #2 with voice overlay • Step 2. Answer the question following Module #2 • Step 3. Complete further modules or take a break.

  3. Module #2 Learning Objectives • Explain the diagnostic features and staging of COPD • Describe non-pharmacologic and the ‘stepped’ pharmacologic therapy for COPD • List Medicare criteria for chronic O2 therapy • Describe steps for assisting patients with smoking cessation

  4. COPD: Prevalence and Cost • 15 million persons in the US • 4th leading cause of death • Cost: $15 billion/year

  5. COPD: Definition • A spectrum of chronic respiratory diseases with: • Airflow limitation • Cough • Dyspnea • Frequent pulmonary infection • Impaired gas exchange • Sputum production

  6. COPD: Diagnosis • Obtain complete PFTs • Allows staging of severity • Assesses oxygen

  7. C OPD P F T s From Images.MD

  8. COPD: Nonpharmacologic Therapy • Smoking cessation • Rehabilitation • Oxygen therapy

  9. COPD: Nonpharmacologic Therapy Smoking cessation • Ask • Advise • Assess willingness • Assist with plan

  10. Pulmonary Rehabilitation Appropriate at all stages of COPD Dyspnea is a good guide to intensity Programs need to be ongoing Goal is 20-30 minutes of sustained activity COPD: Nonpharmacologic Therapy

  11. COPD: Oxygen Therapy

  12. Pharmacotherapy: primary

  13. Pharmacotherapy: other

  14. *bronchodilators= ß-2 agonist , anticholinergics, SR-theophylline

  15. Definition= increased breathlessness, wheezing, cough, sputum Evaluation= Chest X-Ray, EKG, ABG Titrate O2 sat to 90% and recheck ABG COPD Exacerbation

  16. COPD Exacerbation: Therapy • Increase dose or frequency of bronchodilators • Consider IV theophylline • Add steroid • Add antibiotic if ↑sputum volume or purulence

  17. Severe COPD Exacerbation • IF 2 or more of the following: • Severe dyspnea • RR ≥ 25 • pCO2 45-60 • THEN NPPV reduces: • Risk of ventilation • In hospital mortality • Length of stay Images.MD
