Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease 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.

  • Extra-pulmonary effects include weight loss and skeletal muscle dysfunction commonly associated comorbid conditions include cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, depression and lung cancer. 
  • The prevalence of COPD is directly related to the prevalence of tobacco smoking and, in low- and middle-income countries, the use of biomass fuels.
  • Current estimates suggest that 80 million people worldwide suffer from moderate to severe disease. 

Cigarette smoking represents the most significant risk factor, and the risk of developing COPD relates to both the amount and the duration of smoking.

  • It is unusual to develop COPD with less than 10 pack years and not all smokers develop the condition, suggesting that individual susceptibility factors are important.

COPD has both pulmonary and systemic components The presence of airflow limitation combined with premature airway closure, leads to gas trapping and hyperinflation, reducing pulmonary and chest wall compliance.

Pulmonary hyperinflation also flattens the diaphragmatic muscles and leads to an increasingly horizontal alignment of the intercostals muscles, placing the respiratory muscles at a mechanical.

  • The work of breathing is therefore markedly increased, first on exercise, when the time for expiration is further shortened, but then, as the disease advances, at rest Emphysema may be classified by the pattern of the enlarged airspaces as centri acinar, pan acinar or Para septal.
  • Bullae form in some individuals. This results in impaired gas exchange and respiratory Failure.

The two most common conditions of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Some physicians agree that asthma should be classified as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, while others do not.

  1. Chronic bronchitis
    Chronic bronchitis is a long-term inflammation of the bronchi (breathing passages in the lungs), which results in increased production of mucus, as well as other changes.
  • These changes may result in breathing problems, frequent infections, cough, and disability.

 2. Pulmonary emphysema
Emphysema is a chronic lung condition in which alveoli (air sacs in the lungs) may be:

  • Destroyed
  • Narrowed
  • Collapsed
  • Stretched
  • Over-inflated

This can cause a decrease in respiratory function and breathlessness. Damage to the air sacs is irreversible and results in permanent “holes” in the lung tissue.

3. Asthma

 Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease involving recurrent breathing problems. The characteristics of asthma include the following:

  • The lining of the airways become swollen and inflamed.
  • The muscles that surround the airways tighten.
  • The production of mucus is increased, leading to mucus plugs. 

COPD should be suspected in any patient over the age of 40 years who presents with symptoms of chronic bronchitis and/or breathlessness.

  • Cough and associated sputum production ‘smoker’s cough’.

  • Breathlessness
  • Physical signs are non-specific, correlate poorly with lung function, and are seldom obvious until the disease is advanced. Breath sounds are typically quiet.
  • Crackles may accompany infection but, if persistent, raise the possibility of bronchiectasis.
  • Tuberculosis

Appearance of the Patient

  • Cyanosis
  • Tachypnea
  • Respiratory distress indicated by use of accessory respiratory muscles. Hoover sign presenting as paradoxical indrawing of lower intercostal spaces is evident (known as the Hoover sign)
  • Elevated jugular venous pulse (JVP)
  • Peripheral edema can be observed.

Lungs

Inspection

  • Hyperinflation (barrel chest)

Percussion

  • Hyper resonance

Auscultation

  • Prolonged expiration; wheezing
  • Diffusely decreased breath sound
  • Additional sounds – coarse crackles with inspiration. 
  • A chest X- ray is essential to identify alternative diagnoses, such as cardiac failure, other complications of smoking such as lung cancer, and the presence of bullae.
  • A blood count is useful to exclude anaemia or polycythemia, and in younger patients with predominantly basal emphysema, α1-antiproteinase should be assayed.
  • Measurement of lung volumes provides an assessment of hyperinflation.
  • Emphysema is suggested by a low gas transfer value (p. 653). Exercise tests provide an objective assessment of exercise tolerance and a baseline for judging response to bronchodilator therapy or rehabilitation programmed; they may also be valuable when assessing prognosis.
  • Pulse oximetry of less than 93% may indicate the need for referral for a domiciliary oxygen assessment.
  • The assessment of health status provides valuable clinical information.
  • HRCT is likely to play an increasing role in the assessment of COPD, as it allows the detection, characterization and quantification of emphysema and is more sensitive than a chest X-ray for detecting bullae. 
  • The best test for COPD is a lung function test called spirometry. This involves blowing out as hard as possible into a small machine that tests lung capacity.
  • Using a stethoscope to listen to the lungs can also be helpful. Pictures of the lungs (such as x-rays and CT scans) can be helpful
  • Sometimes patients need to have a blood test (called arterial blood gas) to measure the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. 
  • Asthma

  • Congestive heart failure
  • Bronchiectasis

  • Tuberculosis

  • Obliterative bronchiolitis 
  • Don’t rub your eyes, as this can transmit germs to your nasal passages via the tear ducts.
  • Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke (the smoke from a burning cigarette or cigar and the smoke exhaled by a smoker) are important steps you can take to protect your lungs from infection.
  • Follow your doctor’s medication guidelines.
  • Get enough sleep and rest.
  • Manage your stress.
  • Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about getting a flu shot every year and get the pneumonia vaccine if you haven’t had one.
  • Be careful to avoid infection when traveling. In areas where the water might be unsafe, drink bottled water or other beverages (order beverages without ice). Swim only in chlorinated pools.
