The goal of COPD management is to improve a patient's functional status and quality of life by preserving optimal lung function, improving symptoms, and preventing the recurrence of exacerbations. Currently, no treatments aside from lung transplantation have been shown to significantly improve lung function or decrease mortality. Once the diagnosis of COPD is established, it is important to educate the patient about the disease and to encourage his or her active participation in therapy.

<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: small;">Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that can make it hard to take a simple breath. There are many recent advancements and new options for COPD treatment. That's why it's important to work with your doctor to develop the right treatment plan to help you manage your breathing for the long term. </span></p>

<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Results of a randomized controlled trial showed that a comprehensive disease management strategy, which included a patient education session, a self-treatment plan for exacerbations, and a monthly follow-up call from a case manager, is associated with a lower hospitalization rate and fewer emergency department visits. A study by Dewan et al determined that a multicomponent disease management program in patients with COPD was cost-effective, saving $593 per patient.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Indications for intensive care admission are confusion, lethargy, respiratory muscle fatigue, worsening hypoxemia, and respiratory acidosis (pH < 7.30), as well as clinical concern for impending or active respiratory failure. (BiPAP can be done on the floor in some hospitals, including widely in the United Kingdom).</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Oral and inhaled medications are used for patients with stable disease to reduce dyspnea and improve exercise tolerance. Most of the medications used are directed at the following 4 potentially reversible causes of airflow limitation in a disease state that has largely fixed obstruction:</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Bronchial smooth muscle contraction<br />Bronchial mucosal congestion and edema<br />Airway inflammation<br />Increased airway secretions</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Diet<br />Inadequate nutritional status associated with low body weight in patients with COPD is associated with impaired pulmonary status, reduced diaphragmatic mass, lower exercise capacity, and higher mortality rates. Nutritional support is an important part of comprehensive care in patients with COPD.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Bronchodilation<br />Bronchodilators are the backbone of any COPD treatment regimen. They work by dilating airways, thereby decreasing airflow resistance. This increases airflow and decreases dynamic hyperinflation. Lack of response in pulmonary function testing should not preclude their use. These drugs provide symptomatic relief but do not alter disease progression or decrease mortality.</p>
