In Portugal, hospitalizations due to COPD between 2009 and 2016 decreased by 8%, but they still represented 8049 hospitalized patients in 2016. However, it is yet to be established whether blood eosinophils can be used as a biomarker to predict ICS efficacy in terms of exacerbation prevention, as suggested by the WISDOM post hoc analysis.1, When treating an exacerbation adding oral or intravenous corticosteroids and/or antibiotics is recommended, depending on symptom severity and the presence of infection.1,4,6–8,31 Antibiotics should only be used for the treatment of infectious4,6,8,31 or severe exacerbations.31 The GOLD 2018 and NHS 2014 documents recommend antibiotics for patients with COPD exacerbations who have three cardinal symptoms – increase in dyspnea, sputum volume, and sputum purulence7 (Evidence B)1; have two of the cardinal symptoms, if increased purulence of sputum is one of the two symptoms7 (Evidence C)1; or require mechanical ventilation (invasive or non-invasive) (Evidence B).1, Antibiotics have been shown to reduce the risk of short-term mortality, treatment failure and sputum purulence, and a study in COPD patients with exacerbations requiring mechanical ventilation (invasive or non-invasive) indicated that not treating with antibiotics was associated with increased mortality and a greater incidence of secondary nosocomial pneumonia.1 A Cochrane review concluded that antibiotics for very severe COPD exacerbations showed wide and consistent beneficial effects across outcomes of patients admitted to an ICU,32 but this conclusion was based on data from a single study.32. 131-137. Although the most effective duration of treatment is still to be defined,32 the recommended length of antibiotic therapy is usually 5–7 days (Evidence D)1 but treatment duration will depend on the antibiotic used. Proposed therapy, discharge and follow-up of mild, moderate, severe and very severe COPD exacerbations. On day 1, all patients received 80 mg of IV methylprednisolone. There are several diagnostic tools that can be used to assess an exacerbation and its severity, which will in turn guide treatment, and prognostic scores should be used to predict the risk of future exacerbations. Ann Emerg Med 1995; 25:470. We performed a randomised, controlled trial in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD, comparing C-reactive protein (CRP)-guided antibiotic treatment to patient reported symptoms in accordance with the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) strategy, in order to show a reduction in antibiotic prescription.Patients hospitalised with acute exacerbations of COPD were randomised to … Cohen, M.C.

Does eosinophilic COPD exacerbation have a better patient outcome than non-eosinophilic in the intensive care unit?. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms that results in additional therapy; this event is defined as a COPD exacerbation (AECOPD). Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious pulmonary condition. Donohue, J.A. J. Montserrat-Capdevila, P. Godoy, J.R. Marsal, F. Barbe. Vogelmeier, F.J. Herth, C. Thach, R. Fogel. Miles, J.F. There are several diagnostic tools to assess an exacerbation and its severity, which will help in decisions like whether patient can be managed at home or in a primary care setting or if he/she should be referred to an ER and eventually hospitalized.1,5–7 The severity of an exacerbation will inform its treatment,1,7,8 and prognostic scores should be used to predict the risk of a future exacerbation. Usually initial empirical treatment encompasses aminopenicillin with clavulanic acid, a macrolide, or a tetracycline.1,8 However, the long-term use of macrolides may be associated with important side-effects and the risk of developing bacterial resistance.36 Sputum should be sent for culture (in the case of patients with frequent exacerbations, severe airflow limitation, and/or exacerbations requiring mechanical ventilation1), as gram-negative bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas species) or resistant pathogens that are not sensitive to the above-mentioned antibiotics may be present.1. Referral to a Pulmonology Consultation if the patient is not already attending one is of the utmost importance. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. M. Bafadhel, S. McKenna, S. Terry, V. Mistry, C. Reid, P. Haldar. Patients (or home caregivers) should be given appropriate information to enable them to fully understand the correct use of medications, including inhalers and oxygen, and, if necessary, arrangements for follow-up and home care (such as visiting nurse, oxygen delivery, referral for other support) should be made. Currently, there is no exact or consistent definition of a COPD exacerbation. Short-term vs conventional glucocorticoid therapy in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the REDUCE randomized clinical trial. Identification of the underlying cause of COPD exacerbations and assessment of their severity is fundamental to guiding treatment. Respiratory infectious phenotypes in acute exacerbation of COPD: an aid to length of stay and COPD Assessment Test. During a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation, a person experiences a sudden worsening of their symptoms. This study investigates patient preference for treatment place, associated factors and patient satisfaction with a community-based hospital-at-home scheme for COPD exacerbations. Ther Adv Respir Dis, 7 (2013), pp. F. Rivas-Ruiz, M. Redondo, N. Gonzalez, S. Vidal, S. Garcia, I. Lafuente. Moreover, the recent FLAME study,28 the first prospective study evaluating blood eosinophilia as a biomarker of therapeutic response, showed that indacaterol/glycopyrronium demonstrated a significant improvement in lung function compared with salmeterol/fluticasone for all the cutoffs analyzed.29 A recent post hoc analysis of the WISDOM study identified a subgroup of patients – patients with ≥2 exacerbations and ≥400cells/μL – that seem to be at increased risk of exacerbation when discontinued from ICS.30 In fact, and according to the most recent version of the GOLD document,1 symptomatic patients in the stable phase of COPD and a history of ≥2 moderate exacerbations, or 1 with hospital admission, in the past year, may benefit from an ICS on top of LABA/LAMA. Home treatment of COPD exacerbation selected by DECAF score: a non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial. They suggested that NB might be an alternative to OP for the treatment of acute nonacidotic exacerbation of COPD. Very severe exacerbations require admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU)1 and have a very severe impact on physical activity. SF declares no conflicts of interest. M. Guimaraes, A. Bugalho, A.S. Oliveira, J. Moita, A. Marques. Smoking cessation, immunization against influenza and pneumonia, and pulmonary rehabilitation have been shown to improve function and reduce subsequent COPD exacerbations.6,7,30 Long-term oxygen therapy decreases the risk of hospitalization and shortens hospital stays in severely ill patients with COPD.7,31,32 The indications for long-acting inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of exacerbations in patients with stable COPD are reviewed els… Chavaillon, C.

Patients sick enough to be in the ICU due to COPD should receive antibiotics (even if there is no infiltrate on the chest X-ray)(Vollenweider et al 2012). Continuing navigation will be considered as acceptance of this use. Usually, hospitalization due to a severe exacerbation requires modification of inhaled maintenance treatment including O2 if the patient is hypoxemic and non-invasive ventilation if patient has hypercapnia, greater than 52cm H2O and/or acidemia,1,4,6,8 oral or intravenous corticosteroids (for 5 days)1,38,39 and antibiotic if infectious,1,7 xanthines if there is an inadequate response to treatment4,8,16,31 and prevention of pulmonary thromboembolism.

The infection is typically the result of a virus, but bacteria or other organisms can also be responsible. It is possible to prevent some COPD flare-ups or exacerbations (x-saa-cer-bay-shuns), or at least catch them early so they don’t become serious. Camp, D.D. Wedzicha, M. Decramer, J.H. C.T. When using theophylline, it is necessary to monitor blood levels, side effects and potential drug interactions.8,31. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a combination of ipratropium and albuterol is more effective than either agent alone. Rev Port Pneumol (2006), 22 (2016), pp. Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein cannot differentiate bacterial or viral infection in COPD exacerbation requiring emergency department visits. When there is any doubt about the patient's capacity to manage his/her therapy, a formal activities of daily living assessment may be helpful.8 The GOLD 2018 document provides a list of discharge criteria.1 For patients who are hypoxemic during an exacerbation, arterial blood gases and/or pulse oximetry should be evaluated prior to hospital discharge and in the following 3 months. Very severe exacerbations require admission to the ICU, with invasive ventilation, and are outside the scope of this paper. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious pulmonary condition, which is slowly progressive with systemic repercussions; it mainly affects people over 40 years old.1 However, COPD is preventable and treatable. COPD causes significant morbidity and mortality, and is frequently placed in the top four leading causes of death worldwide . Le Monnier, Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis, 10 (2015), pp. Appropriate management of COPD exacerbations presents a clinical challenge and, in order to guide therapy, it is important to identify the underlying cause; however, this is not possible in about a third of severe COPD exacerbations. Executive summary: prevention of acute exacerbation of COPD: American College of Chest Physicians and Canadian Thoracic Society Guideline. Hansen, G.C. Ohar.

J.S. 167-176. CD010257. A COPD exacerbation is characterised by a change in the patient’s baseline dyspnoea, cough, and/or sputum that is beyond normal day-to-day variations, is acute in onset, and may warrant a change in regular medication or hospital admission [evidence level III-2, strong recommendation]. Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: identification of biologic clusters and their biomarkers. Steurer-Stey, J. Garcia-Aymerich, M.A. N. Roche, J.M. If the patient is admitted to the ICU, besides the tests recommended in severe exacerbations, the Glasgow Coma Scale5 should be used, respiratory tract infections investigated25 and a hemoculture performed.24 According to the GOLD 2018 document only patients requiring non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or invasive ventilation (IV) should be hospitalized.1, Short-acting inhaled β2 agonists (SABAs) and short-acting muscarinic antagonists (SAMAs) remain the mainstay in the treatment of symptoms and airflow obstruction during COPD exacerbations.1,4,6 Although at the time of publication of the GOLD 2018 document there were no clinical studies evaluating the usefulness of long-acting β2 agonists (LABA) or long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) in exacerbations, the recommendation is to continue this medication during the exacerbation or to start it as soon as possible before hospital discharge.1 The LABA+LAMA combination does have a documented benefit in the reduction of exacerbations when prescribed to patients in the stable phase of COPD,26 particularly the indacaterol/glycopyrronium combination as demonstrated in the SPARK27 and FLAME28 studies. Many patients experience COPD exacerbations and some of these require Emergency Room (ER) visits and hospitalizations. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, chronic respiratory condition that is both preventable and treatable. Lun, M.S. Tsui, S.L. Cydulka RK, Emerman CL. Ouellette, D.

A study has found that fast response to noninvasive ventilation (NIV) following acute exacerbation in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with NIV success and significantly lower in-hospital mortality.. Because COPD can differ from one individual to the next, you need to work with your doctor to design a treatment plan appropriate to your condition and lifestyle.3 You might be able to manage your exacerbations with rescue bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, and/or oxygen supplementation at home. Leuppi, P. Schuetz, R. Bingisser, M. Bodmer, M. Briel, T. Drescher. Ther Adv Chronic Dis, 5 (2014), pp. In this paper, we will focus on the pharmacological strategies for the management of COPD exacerbations, risk stratification and a hospital discharge plan proposal.

In this paper, we will focus on the pharmacological strategies for the management of COPD exacerbations, risk stratification and a hospital discharge plan proposal. The NHS protocol for management of COPD exacerbations in primary care states that bronchodilators and corticosteroids are the mainstay of exacerbation treatment. Infectious exacerbations are characterized by increases in volume and purulence of the sputum associated with aggravated dyspnea and should be treated with antibiotics.1,8, The assessment of an exacerbation and its severity is based on the patient's medical history,1,6 e.g., airflow limitation, duration of worsening of symptoms and number of previous episodes (total/hospitalizations). Huang, K.C. The mainstays of the treatment of exacerbation of COPD in the prehospital setting include: • Ensuring adequate ventilation and oxygenation (SpO288%–92%); • In intubated patients, adjusting minute volume and inspiratory flow rates when possible to prevent dynamic hyperinflation; • Administration of nebulized bronchodilators; • IV access and cardiac monitoring.

Puhan. procedure or treatment must be made by the physician in light of the circumstances presented by the patient. The goal of antibiotic therapy is generally to suppress this bacterial growth a bit, not to completely sterilize the patient's lungs (which is impossible in this situation). D.J. They either received 40 mg parenteral prednisolone or 4 mg NB every 12 hours. Admissions to hospital for COPD are highest in winter and early spring and are consistent with the trend for acute respiratory infections, such as rhinovirus (common cold), influenza, pneumonia and acute bronchitis (Figure 3). As with the lack of definition of an exacerbation, there is no consensual classification system to assess the exacerbation severity, although some have been proposed.16 Some of these scores will be discussed further. J.M. J. Ferreira, M. Drummond, N. Pires, G. Reis, C. Alves, C. Robalo-Cordeiro. For all patients, the choice of antibiotic should be guided by the local bacterial resistance pattern,1,8 the microbiology story of the patient and his/her risk factors.
