COPD GUIDELINES
Sarah Cowdell
WHY GUIDELINES MATTER
Predicted to be the third leading cause of death by 2030
Cause of over 30,000 deaths in the UK yearly
Chronically underdiagnosed – ( by up to 1/3 )
The cause of massive spend in healthcare resources (drugs, bed-days,
primary care consultations, workdays lost, comorbidities, mortality.
Impact on sufferers and their carers

Diagnosis of COPD

Treatment of Acute Exacerbations
Taken from the NICE (2004)2010 update
Definition
Disease classified by airways obstruction which
is not reversible, is usually progressive and does
not vary from day today.
It will usually occur in smokers or ex smokers
over the age of 50.
Main symptoms include dyspnoea, cough and
sputum production.
• Airflow obstruction is defined as a reduction in
FEV1/FVC ratio <0.7
• No longer necessary to have FEV1 <80%
predicted for definition of airflow obstruction*
• If FEV1 is ≥ 80% a diagnosis of COPD should
only be made in the presence of respiratory
symptoms and/or reduced ratio.
• *post bronchodilator

Other therapies
• Carbocisteine
– Reduce exacerbations if chronic sputum
production- £16.03
• Theophylline
– May improve breathless, may enhance action
of ICS- Approx £5.00
• Montelukast
– Not recommended for COPD
Summary
• Bronchodilators improve symptoms
• No clear benefit of 1 agent over another
• “Adding on” bronchodilators improves
symptoms further
• Adding on inhaled corticosteroids has a
small additional benefit

In addition to the guidance for patients with low and medium impact CAT scores
consider:
Referral to specialist care

Score >20 (high)
Score >30 (very high)

Pulmonary Rehabilitation
• Offer to all patients who consider
themselves functionally disabled by COPD
• Make available to all appropriate people,
including those recently hospitalised from
an acute exacerbation [2010]
• Hold at times that suit patients and in
buildings with good access

Managing exacerbations
• The frequency of exacerbations should be reduced by
appropriate use of inhaled corticosteroids and
bronchodilators
• Give self management advice on responding promptly
to symptoms of exacerbation.
• Start appropriate treatment with oral steroids and
antibiotics
• Use of hospital-at-home or assisted-discharge
schemes
• Use of NIV as indicated
EXACERBATIONS
• A SUSTAINED WORSENING (+ 24 hours) OF SYMPTOMS
REQUIRING A CHANGE IN TREATMENT

•
CHANGE IN SPUTUM COLOUR
