COPD chronic obstructive disease
pulmonary
A preventable and treatable disease of airflow limitation
not
fully reversible usually progressive and associated with
an abnormal
inflammatory response to noxious gases or
particles smoking1 environmental exposures may be
associated with extra
pulmonary effects
Chronic bronchitis t
emphysema
Clinical features to differentiate COPD t Asthma
, Diagnosis of COPD
Spirometery
15 mins after broncho dilator
it is COPD if FEVI IF VC ratio
is c 0.7
Significant C 12 reversibility
increase of F EV I F VC
Steroid reversibily testing ICS for G 8 weeks may
be undertaken with repeat spirometry C 12
Dyspnea scale
4 in number
may indicate COPD
