Respiratory COPD/Asthma
Spirometry Examples Obstructive Restrictive
Spirometry • FEV1-vol of air patient able to exhale in the first second of forced expiration • FVC-total vol of air patient can forcibly exhale in one breath • FEV1/FVC-ratio of FEV1 to FVC as % • FEV1 and FVC expressed as % of predicted normal for a person of same age/sex/height
Spirometry-COPD • Post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <0.7 (base) • FEV1% predicted <80% • Severity of COPD indicated by extent of FEV1 reduction • Asthma may show same abnormality as COPD-use reversibility testing to identify asthma
Spirometry • Obstructive pattern; • FEV1<80% • FVC reduced but less than FEV1 • FEV1/FVC <0.7 • Restrictive pattern; • FEV1 <80% predicted • FVC <80% predicted • FEV1/FVC normal >0.7
Initial Diagnostic Evaluation • Post bronchodilator spirometry (reversibility not usually necessary) • CXR • FBC for anaemia/polycythemia • BMI

COPD Vs Asthma • COPD • >35 • Risk factor (usually smoking) • Exertional SOB • Chronic cough • Regular sputum • Frequent winter bronchitis/wheeze • No clinical features of asthma • Asthma; • >1 of wheeze; cough; SOB; chest tightness • Triggers-exercise; viral; emotions; pets • Atopic history • Fh of atopy/asthma • Widespread wheeze • Improvement in symptoms with treatment
Asthma • Spirometry with reversibility • >400ml response to bronchodilator or after 2 week trial of pred 30mg daily • Reversibility testing; • Salbutamol/ipratropium/terbutaline • Or one month trial bronchodilator response with spirometry
