Management of COPD Stage 0: At Risk Characteristics Recommended Treatment • Risk factors • Chronic symptoms - cough - sputum • No spirometric abnormalities • Adjust risk factors • Immunizations
Management of COPD Stage I: Mild COPD Characteristics Recommended Treatment • FEV1/FVC < 70 % • FEV1> 80 % predicted • With or without symptoms • Short-acting bronchodilator as needed
Management of COPD Stage II: Moderate COPD Characteristics Recommended Treatment • Treatment with one or more long-acting bronchodilators • Rehabilitation • FEV1/FVC < 70% • 50% < FEV1< 80% predicted • With or without symptoms
Management of COPD Stage III: Severe COPD Characteristics Recommended Treatment • Treatment with one or more long-acting bronchodilators • Rehabilitation • Inhaled glucocortico-steroids if repeated exacerbations (>3/year) • FEV1/FVC < 70% • 30% < FEV1 < 50% predicted • With or without symptoms
Management of COPD Stage IV: Very Severe COPD Characteristics Recommended Treatment • Treatment with one or more long-acting bronchodilators • Inhaled glucocorticosteroids if repeated exacerbations (>3/year) • Treatment of complications • Rehabilitation • Long-term oxygen therapy if respiratory failure • Consider surgical options • FEV1/FVC < 70% • FEV1 < 30% predicted or presence of respiratory failure or right heart failure
Bronchodilator Therapy Some General Principles • Inhaled therapy (with spacer) preferred • Long-acting preparations more convenient • Combined preparations improve effectiveness and decrease risk of side effects • Ipratroprium-albuterol • Fluticasone-salmeterol • Budesonide-formoterol • MDI almost always as effective as nebulizers (in equal doses)
Effectiveness of BronchodilatorTherapy? • FEV1 does not always correlate with symptoms • Concept of “dynamic hyperinflation” in COPD • Quality of life issues are important • Chronic fatigue • Depression • Physical immobility • Dyspnea
COPD - Surgical Options • Giant Bullous Disease • Consider bullectomy if see normal lung compression • Lung Volume Reduction Surgery* • FEV1 (<20% pred) plus diffuse emphysema or Dlco<20% pred = high risk of surgical death • Upper lobe emphysema and low exercise capacity = decreased mortality, increased exercise and QOL • Lung Transplantation • FEV1<25% predicted, younger patient • 3-5 year mortality 55% *NETT Research Group.

COPD Exacerbation Definition Elements Severity • Worsening dyspnea • Increased sputum purulence • Increase in sputum volume • Severe - all 3 elements • Moderate - 2 elements • Mild - 1 element plus: • URI in past 5 days • Fever without apparent cause • Increased wheezing or cough • Increase (+20%) of respiratory rate or heart rate Modified from Anthonisen et al. Ann Int Med 106:196, 1987
COPD Exacerbation Effects on Lung Function Decline • 109 pts (mean FEV1 = 1.0 L over 4 years • Frequent exacerbators: • faster decline in PEFR and FEV1 • more chronic symptoms (dyspnea, wheeze) • no differences in PaO2 or PaCO2 Infrequent Frequent • Conclusion: • Frequent exacerbations accelerate decline in lung function Donaldson et al.

COPD Therapy - New Horizons • Newer anti-inflammatory agents • Matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors • Specific phosphodiesterase (PDE4) inhibitors • Cilomilast • Rofumilast • Piklanilast • Anabolic steroids • Repair agents • Retinoic acid • Long-acting anti-muscarinic agents • tiotropium
Tiotropium Specific M1 and M3 Muscarinic Blockade • 470 patients - stable COPD • 3 month, randomized, double blind, once daily tiotropium vs. placebo • Conclusions: • Increased FEV1 and FVC • No tachyphylaxis • Decreased rescue albuterol • Decreased wheezing, SOB • Dry mouth in 9.3% Casaburi et al. CHEST 118:1294, 2000
Tiatroprium Specific M1 and M3 Muscarinic Blockade • 1207 patients, double blind, randomized trial, • qd tiotropium vs. bid salmeterol vs. placebo • Conclusions: Tiotropium • Fewer exacerbations • Increased time to first exacerbation • Fewer admissions • Increased QOL Brusasco et al.
