1 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Guidelines and updates October 20, 2018 Saratoga Springs, NY COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Alarmingly, COPD recently became the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer. Current estimates suggest that COPD costs the nation almost $50 billion annually in both direct and indirect health expenditures. While there are an increasing number of treatment options for managing patients with COPD; determining which treatments are appropriate for patients has become more complex. Recent evidence-based guidelines, from both the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and the COPD Foundation, have been developed to assist clinicians in their diagnosis of COPD and treatment decision making. Although these two guidelines provide broadly similar criteria for COPD diagnosis, their approaches to disease characterization differ, which ultimately may affect treatment strategies. With the right tools and critical decision making we can manage clinical risks and improve patient outcomes. Kayur V. Patel, MD, MRO, FACP, FACPE, FACHE, FACEP Chief Medical Officer Access2MD

6 A 55-year old man whom you have been following for the last 5 years comes to the emergency room because he has increasing difficulty breathing. He has a history of smoking related COPD. The patient has no fever, chills, chest pain or sweats. The mild productive cough he has been having during the last year has not increased. When the patient is supine, his dyspnea is worse. His previous ABGs are ph 7.36, pco 2 : 60, po 2 : 70. His normal peak expiratory flow is 275 cc. You initiate therapy with Ipratropium and Albuterol inhalers, but the patient does not improve with continued inhaler use. On examination, respiratory rate 22, Pulse 125, Temp 99.2, BP 120/80, decreased breath sounds in both lungs with dry inspiratory rales at the bases. Heart: no murmur. Lab: Hgb 12/dL, Hct 53%, WBC 8000/mm 3, Peak expiratory flow is 280 cc, ABGs: ph 7.50, pco 2 40, po Chest x-ray reveals no changes, EKG shows sinus tachycardia and normal rhythm. Patient was started on oxygen therapy as necessary with a venturi mask with 60% oxygen in order to reach a 90% oxygen saturation. What is the next step in the patient s management?

10 Most common diagnosis for a missed PE? COPD flair is the most common diagnosis for a missed PE 12% of proven PE have no risk factors 25% of DVT will recur even if treated 5-15% of obese patient on a 8 hour flight will have DVT 50% of iliofemoral DVT embolize 20% of calf DVT propagates and embolizes 50% sensitivity for clinical exam 30% of PE will have negative ultrasound exam of LE 80% of fatal PE have DVTs in LE.

13 Who Has COPD? 1 in 5 Americans has COPD 16 million people are diagnosed, but millions more may have it and not know it

14 COPD: Challenges Public Health Burden is Large 3 rd leading cause of death in the U.S. Causes serious, long-term disability. Kills >135,000 Americans each year. Available Treatments are Inadequate Self-Management Education and Smoking Cessation Bronchodilators Inhaled Corticosteroids Pulmonary Rehabilitation Oxygen Surgery

17 COPD Foundation Definition Serious lung disease that over time makes it hard to breathe Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis Refractory Asthma and Some forms of bronchiectasis Blocked (obstructed) airways make it hard to get air in and out

18 ATS / ERS Definition Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease state characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking.

19 NHLBI Definition Serious lung disease that over time makes it hard to breathe Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis Blocked (obstructed) airways make it hard to get air in and out

20 GOLD COPD, a common preventable and treatable disease, is characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. Exacerbations and comorbidities contribute to the overall severity in individual patients.

36 What is COPD? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that over time makes it hard to breathe. Less air flows in and out of the airways because of one or more of the following: Left untreated, people with COPD gradually lose their stamina and ability to perform daily activities.

37 Diagnostic Criteria Should be considered in any patient who has dyspnea, chronic cough or sputum production, and a history of tobacco smoking. Airflow limitation that is not fully reversible and is usually progressive. Requires demonstration by spirometry of airflow limitation that is not fully reversible, in addition to symptoms of dyspnea and cough and exposure to risk factors for the disease such as smoking.
