Obstructive Pulmonary Disease • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) • Asthma • Bronchiectasis • Cystic fibrosis • Bronchiolitis obliterans • Alpha-1 -antitrypsin deficiency
Introduction • The commonest form of chronic lung disease in developed countries • Affecting 5 -10% of population • Associated with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchiolitis and asthma any combination of these.
Definition of COPD • 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.
COPD- Definitions • Emphysema – "an anatomical alteration of the lung characterized by an abnormal enlargement of the air-spaces distal to the non-respiratory bronchioles, accompanied by destructive changes of the alveolar walls. " • Chronic Bronchitis – " a clinical disorder characterized by excessive mucus secretion. . . chronic or recurrent productive cough. . . on most days for a minimum of three months in the year for not less than two successive years. "
Prevalence & Incidence
COPD: Risk Factors • Exposures – Smoking (generally ≥ 90%) – Passive smoking – Ambient air pollution – Occupational dust/chemicals – Childhood infections (severe respiratory, viral) – Socioeconomic status • Host factors – Alpha 1 -antitrypsin deficiency (<1%) – Hyperresponsive airways – Lung growth
Normal Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema
• Most reviewers now accept a causal occupational link and the conditions experienced by workers in several industries over recent decades are considered by many to be similar potency to cigarette smoking
Specific Occupational Causes • • • Coal dust Silica Asbestos Cadmium fumes Cotton dust • Grade 3 byssinosis • Grain dust • Wood dust • Agriculture • Metal fume – welding • Irritant gases • Combustion products – Firefighters
Diagnostic criteria for occupational COPD • Definite confirmation of diagnosis of COPD according to GOLD criteria or ATS criteria – Chronic bronchitis or emphysema or both • Confirmed exposure to one or more occupational etiologic agents – Sufficient exposure ( duration and intensity) – Minimum exposure duration required: • 20 years for coal dust • R/O of antitrypsin deficiency • Least role of cigarette smoking
Assess and Monitor Disease: Key Points • Diagnosis of COPD is based on a history of exposure to risk factors and the presence of airflow limitation that is not fully reversible, with or without the presence of symptoms.
Assess and Monitor Disease: Key Points • Patients who have chronic cough and sputum production with a history of exposure to risk factors should be tested for airflow limitation, even if they do not have dyspnea.

GOLD Guidelines for COPD Stage 0: At Risk Diagnosis Treatment • Chronic cough/sputum • PFTs within normal limits • No symptoms • Avoid risk factors (smoking cessation)
GOLD Guidelines for COPD Stage I: Mild Diagnosis Treatment • FEV 1 >80% predicted • FEV 1/FVC <70% • With/without symptoms • Avoid risk factors • Short-acting bronchodilator PRN
GOLD Guidelines for COPD Diagnosis Stage II: Moderate • 50% FEV 1 <80% predicted • FEV 1/FVC <70% • With/without symptoms Treatment • Avoid risk factors • Regular therapy with 1 bronchodilators • Inhaled corticosteroids if significant symptoms and lung function response • Rehabilitation
GOLD Guidelines for COPD Stage III: Severe Diagnosis Treatment • 30% FEV 1 < 50% predicted • FEV 1/FVC < 70% • With/without symptoms • Avoid risk factors • Regular therapy with 1 bronchodilators • Rehabilitation • Inhaled corticosteroids if significant symptoms and lung function response or if repeated exacerbations
GOLD Guidelines for COPD Stage IV: Very Severe Diagnosis • FEV 1 < 30% predicted • FEV 1/FVC < 70% • Respiratory failure • Right-side-of-the-heart failure Treatment • Avoid risk factors • Regular therapy with 1 bronchodilators • Inhaled corticosteroids if significant symptoms and lung function response or repeated exacerbations • Rehabilitation • Treatment of complications • Long-term O 2 therapy for hypoxic respiratory failure • Evaluate for surgical treatment
