CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE
PULMONARY DISEASE
Definition
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic slowly progressive disorder characterized by airflow obstruction (reduced FEV1 and FEV1/VC ratio) that does not change markedly over several months. Most of the lung function impairment is fixed, although some reversibility can be produced by bronchodilator (or other) therapy.
➢ Signs: Pink puffers & blue bloaters (2
ends of a spectrum). Patients who have chronic cough and sputum production with a history of exposure to risk factors should be tested for airflow limitation, even if they do not have dyspnea.
• Others have little or no sputum or hypoxia at rest, but breathlessness and wheezing is severe and emphysema is prominent – the pink puffer’ type of COPD. These patients are commonly underweight.
• Most patients with COPD present with a mixed pattern rather than the ‘blue bloater’ or ‘pink puffer’ extremes.
SYMPTOMS NOT TYPICAL OF COPD
• Haemoptysis – can occur due to COPD alone, but its appearance is such a patient suggests the possibility of malignancy, which must be carefully sought.
SYMPTOMS TYPICAL OF COPD
• History of heavy smoking for many years. • Cough and sputum production for many years. • Cough often present only on waking at first; later
bronchitis.
PATHOLOGY
➢ Changes in Mucus gland thickness ➢ Air Flow limitation due to:-
(i) Mechanical obstruction. (ii) Loss of pulmonary elastic recoil. (iii) Reduction of the alveolar attachment

• Excellent response to bronchodilators or steroids with definite symptom-free intervals is suggestive of asthma, not COPD.
infection. • Insidious onset of breathlessness on exertion with
wheezing or tightness of chest.
SYMPTOMS TYPICAL OF COPD (CONTD.)
• Some develop increasingly severe exacerbations of disease leading to chronic respiratory failure and heart failure – the “blue bloater’ type of COPD.
