Pulmonary Function in COPD
• Spirometry
– Decreased FEV1 more than FVC; decreased ratio
– Earliest change is a decrease in FEF25-75%
• Lung Volumes
– Increased Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
– Increased Residual Volume (RV)
– Decreased Vital Capacity (SVC)
• DLCO
– May be decreased

Dynamic Hyperinflation
Obstructive Diseases
• Asthma
– Reversible airflow obstruction
– Inflammation prominent
• Emphysema
– Permanent
– Destruction of the respiratory
bronchioles
• Chronic Bronchitis
– Sputum production 3
months/year for 2 years
Patients Have All Combinations
Chronic Bronchitis
Normal Lung
Acinus
Centrilobular
Emphysema
Panlobular
Emphysema
Centrilobular emphysema in
COPD with no bronchial
abnormalities
Centrilobular emphysema in
COPD with widespread
bronchial wall thickening
Centrilobular Emphysema
• Emphysema of smokers and coal workers
• Worst in upper lung fields of each lobe of the
lung
• Inflammatory changes in small airways are
common
Paraseptal emphysema
• Selective expansion of alveoli adjacent to
connective tissue septa and bronchovascular
bundles
• Most notable sub pleural
• More Common in Young (<40) smokers
Paraseptal Emphysema
Don’t mistake this for honeycombing
Panacinar = Panlobar Emphysema
• Alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency and familial
cases
• Generally emphysema of non-smokers
• Can co-exist with centrilobular
• Most widespread and most severe
• More severe at lung bases but distributed
throughout lung
Alpha 1 Antitrypsin
Alpha 1 Antitrypsin
• Lung and liver disease
• Lower lung panacinar emphysema with bronchial wall
thickening
• Frank bronchietasis with PiZZ phenotype
• Bullous formation relative uncommon
• Serum protein that inhibits lysosomal proteases during
inflammation preventing the damaging effects of elastases
released by macrophages and neutrophils
PiMM
Normal 1-levels
PiMZ
Decreased 1-levels to 60%
PiZZ
Decreased 1-levels to 1020%

Short Acting b-agonists
• All equal efficacy
• Studies show HFA and CFC have equal efficacy
• Tachycardia decreased with spacer use and
rinsing mouth after use
Importance of Spacer
Barnes et.al 1998 Asthma Basic Mechanisms and Clinical Management
Short Acting Anti-muscarinics
• Decreases secretions
• Longer acting than albuterol
• Blocks bronchoconstriction from inhaled
irritants
• Spiriva
– 4x/day = once a day Spiriva
– Competitive inhibitor
Cardiac Risk, Ipratroprium, Tiotropium
• Better tolerated than beta-agonists
• Meta-analysis - increased CV deaths in
patients on anti-muscarinics
• UPLIFT - 4 yr trial - decreased fatal
cardiovascular event risk with Tiotropium
• Clinical trial safety database
Tiotropium – no increased risk

Hospitalization

GOLD ICS Therapy
• Candidates
– Symptomatic patients with spirometric response
– Patient with daily sputum production
– Patients with variability in symptoms
– FEV1 < 50% with frequent exacerbations needing
steroids or Abx
• Trial 6 weeks – 3 months
Oral Steroid Therapy
• 10-20% will have significant response to oral
steroids
– 2 week trial of steroids improves PFTs then
continue ICS
• Effective for acute exacerbation
• Antibiotics decrease relapse rate
Oral Steroid Therapy
• Conflicting results in stable COPD patients
– Significant side effects
• Exacerbations (10-14 day courses)
– Decreased treatment failure
– Rapid improvement in PFTs and symptom scores
– Decreased in hospital stay
– Maximum benefit in the first 2 weeks

Antibiotic Use
• Chronic Macrolides
– Decreases exacerbations
– Increased resistance
• Macrolides/Doxycycline at home for early
exacerbation treatment
Theophilline
• Positive effects for COPD
– Stimulate respiratory center
– Improves muscle function
– Anti-inflammatory
• Negative effects for COPD
– Increases GERD
– Narrow therapeutic window
– Significant drug-drug interactions
– Significant food interaction (fatty foods)
Roflumilast
• Unknown exact mechanism
– Selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase Type 4
leading to increased intracellular cAMP
• Decreases exacerbations
• Use with caution in liver disease, depression
(suicide)
Is There a Drug To Cure COPD?
• No existing medications will change the
inherent decline in lung function related to
age/smoking
• Goal of Tx:
– Decreased symptoms
– Decreased complications
Other Modalities
•
•
•
•
•
Nutrition
Post-nasal drip treatment
Flu vaccine reduces serious illness
Pneumovax: >65 or <65 with FEV1 <40%
Statins?!?
– Slower decline in PFTs, decrease exacerbation
rate, decreased death rate

Aspiration and GERD - Risks
• Medical risk factors
– CVA, Parkinsons, Dementia, medications
• Medication risk factors
– Calcium channel blockers, bisphosphonates, iron
supplements, NSAIDS, potassium, anticholinergics,
narcotics, nitrates, progesterone, benzodiazepines
Aspiration and GERD
• PPI – before meals
• Lifestyle changes
– Elevation of head of bed 4-6 inches
– Minimizing caffeine/mint
– Avoiding eating/drinking 2-3 hours before bed

ΔMS,
Copious secretions, high
aspiration risk,
– Facial abnormalities
Relapse Rate 20-40%
• If ER visit : 33% recur within 14 days, 17% eventually
need hospitalization
• Risk of Relapse
– Low FEV1
– Increasing medication use (BDs or steroids)
– Prior exacerbations (3 within last 2 years)
– Comorbid conditions

• Combination therapy is better than monotherapy
• Pneumonia risk increased with ICS
• Oxygen improves longevity
