Where’s the church, who took the steeple? Religion is in the hands of some crazy-ass people Television preachers with bad hair and dimples The God’s honest truth is it’s not that simple It’s the Buddhist in you, it’s the pagan in me… It’s the Muslim in him, she’s Catholic ain’t she? It’s the born-again look, it’s the Wasp and the Jew Tell me what’s goin on, I ain’t gotta clue… - Jimmy Buffett

Quality – www.ahcpr.gov/clinic/epcsums/copdsum.htm

Definitions Emphysema - abnormal permanent enlargement of the airspace distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls and without obvious fibrosis.

Chronic Bronchitis - presence of chronic productive cough for 3 months in each of 2 successive years…

COPD - disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible.

COPD - Epidemiology

9.34 / 1000 (males) 7.33 / 1000 (females) ~14,000,000 Americans 700,000 hospital D/Cs per year female > male since 1992

COPD - Etiology  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm  Tobacco smoke, tobacco smoke, tobacco sm

Etiology 15% of smokers develop COPD 10% of COPD patients did not smoke alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency occupational dusts and chemicals passive smoking (SAPALDIA study)

COPD - Pathophysiology Chronic airflow obstruction of small

airways enzymatic destruction of lung parenchyma loss of lung elasticity macrophages, neutrophils CD8+ T-lymphocytes (COPD) CD4+ T-lymphocytes (asthma)

Pathophysiology Tobacco smoke ⇒ loss of surfactant ⇑ goblet cells cellular activation macrophages / neutrophils neutrophil elastase cathepsins matrix metalloproteinases

Differential Diagnosis Asthma CHF / ACS pulmonary embolism pneumonia pneumothorax

Asthma and COPD

If there is clinical evidence of wheezing treat as if a reversible condition.

Congestive Heart Failure Orthopnea / dyspnea on exertion HJR Chest x-ray PEFR β -natruretic peptide

COPD v. PE

Consider risk factors pleuritic chest pain arterial blood gas

COPD - Differential Diagnosis

Acute Coronary Syndrome Pneumothorax Pneumonia Lobar Atelectasis

COPD Evaluation - History Acuity of onset chest pain change in sputum production fever hemoptysis orthopnea

COPD history - baseline status Last ED visit last hospital admission prior intubations home oxygen How bad is this attack?? PMH

COPD Medication History Inhalers steroids oxygen theophylline non-compliance drug-drug interactions

COPD - ED examination General / airway breathing – – – –

general trachea neck veins chest wall movement / auscultation

circulation

COPD - patient monitoring

EKG O2 saturation capnometry IV access

COPD - diagnostic studies

Arterial blood gases CBC / SMA6 aminophylline level brain natruretic peptide

COPD - diagnostic studies

spirometry sputum analysis CXR EKG

COPD treatment - O2

If oxygen saturation < 90-92% – maintain PaO2 > 60 mmHg – maintain SaO2 > 90%

nasal cannula v. venturi mask ↓ FiO2 as condition improves

β agonists / anticholinergics

both effective combination therapy more effective MDI v. nebulizer compressed air v. oxygen

COPD - corticosteroids

oral intravenous inhaled

Methylxanthines

No significant ↑ in FeV1 No significant ↓ in hospital admissions ↑ adverse effects check theophylline level if indicated

COPD - Antibiotics

increased dyspnea increased sputum production increased sputum volume

Ann Intern Med 1987

Non-invasive assisted ventilation ↑ tidal volume Prevents collapse of distal airways ↓ work of respiration Improves ABG’s, pH ↓ need for intubation ↓ length of stay COPD v. asthma

NIV - Indications inability to maintain O2 saturation >90% moderate acidosis (pH 7.30 – 7.35) RR > 25 / minute patient must be – alert – breathing – able to cooperate

NIV - Contraindications apnea pneumothorax inability to protect airway altered mental status C-V instability increased secretions

NIV – CPAP and BiPAP Pressure controlled devices Continuous positive airway pressure – 5 cm H2O

Bi-level positive airway pressure – 8-10 cm H2O / 2-4 cm H2O

Non-invasive ventilation…

Advantages – No need for ICU – Reduced mortality – Lower incidence of pneumonia – Cost effective

Non-invasive ventilation… Disadvantages – Discomfort / claustrophobia – Poor fit – leaks / facial trauma – Gastric distension

***Remember to ensure close observation for your patient***

COPD–Endotracheal intubation RR > 35 / min PaO2 < 40mmHg pH < 7.25 / PaCO2 > 60 mmHg Altered mental status C-V instability NIV failure Cardiac arrest (!)

ETT / RSI considerations Re-evaluate paralysis Etomidate Ketamine Succinylcholine v. rocuronium ETT size

Ventilator considerations short inspiratory time prolonged expiratory time decreased minute ventilation PEEP keep pCO2 elevated pneumothorax v. dynamic hyperinflation

Interventions / New horizons Interventions – Smoking cessation – Influenza vaccine

On the horizon… – Lung volume reduction surgery – tiotropium

Smoking Cessation death / illness reduction even if late before success → 5–7 attempts on average 5-10% success rate without assistance average weight gain of 4-6 kilos anxiety, insomnia, depressed mood

Smoking Cessation brief advice v. no advice Nicotine replacement therapy v. placebo Bupropion v. placebo physical exercise Professional advice Acupuncture v. sham treatment anxiolytics
