CHALLENGE: Re-evaluate your COPD treatment paradigm, therapies and documentation
Areas of Active Change in COPD Management and Approach 4x more drugs than in 2000 New guidelines (GOLD, ATS) as of 2016, 2017 Focus on risk classification, phenotyping and comorbidities Change management paradigm to favor long acting bronchodilators (Steroid Controversies) Introduce clear guidelines for follow up and evaluation of stable patients and exacerbations Make first time recommendations for management of severe patients with nocturnal ventilation and lung volume reduction surgery
Summary of GOLD 2017 Updates Chapter 1 The definition of COPD has been revised to include the impact of respiratory symptoms and the role of lung tissue and airway abnormalities in the development of COPD. The origin of COPD development is discussed relative to interactions of host factors and environmental exposures. Chapter 2 The ABCD assessment tool has been refined to utilize respiratory symptoms and exacerbations alone to assign ABCD categories. The role of spirometry in overall management of COPD has been updated. Chapter 3 Assessment and regular evaluation of inhaler technique has been added to attempt to improve therapeutic outcomes. Increased evidence for self-management, pulmonary rehabilitation, integrated care and palliative care is presented. Recommendations for noninvasive ventilation, oxygen therapy and lung volume reduction are provided based on new information. Chapter 4 Examination of symptoms and future risk of exacerbations should provide the map for pharmacologic management of stable COPD. A shift towards more personalized approach to treatment is introduced, with strategies for escalation and de-escalation of pharmacotherapy. Chapter 5 Detailed hospital discharge and follow up criteria are presented and include integrated team care. Chapter 6 The strategies for the management of cardiovascular and other important comorbidities are presented in detail. The complex issues of multimorbidity and polypharmacy are outlined.

Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD Manage Stable COPD: Key Points Identification and reduction of exposure to risk factors are important steps in prevention and treatment. Individualized assessment of symptoms, airflow limitation, and future risk of exacerbations should be incorporated into the management strategy. All COPD patients benefit from rehabilitation and maintenance of physical activity. Pharmacologic therapy is used to reduce symptoms, reduce frequency and severity of exacerbations, and improve health status and exercise tolerance. 2015 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD Manage Stable COPD: Key Points Long-acting formulations of beta 2 -agonists and anticholinergics are preferred over short-acting formulations. Based on efficacy and side effects, inhaled bronchodilators are preferred over oral bronchodilators. Long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids added to long-acting bronchodilators is recommended for patients with high risk of exacerbations. 2015 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD Manage Stable COPD: Key Points Long-term monotherapy with oral or inhaled corticosteroids is not recommended in COPD. The phospodiesterase-4 inhibitor roflumilast may be useful to reduce exacerbations for patients with FEV 1 < 50% of predicted, chronic bronchitis, and frequent exacerbations. 2015 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease

Global Strategy for Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD Asthma COPD Overlap Syndrome Characterized by some element of fixed obstruction and multiple features of both COPD and asthma. Suggested to be relatively common Q:Why should we care? May represent a distinct clinical entity / prognosis. May open the door to earlier and more prominent use of inhaled steroids in ACOS or modulation of allergic type pathways. May need to be eliminated from therapeutic trials in COPD. Especially those impacting inflammatory pathways. Recognition may shed light on frequent exacerbators and triggers.
