  • 3/5

    In order to have a moderate exacerbation, how many categories must be met?

  • acidosis

    What must a patient have in order to be considered a severe exacerbation?

  • oral corticosteroids, antibiotics when signs of infection, noninvasive mechanical ventilation

    What treatments are present for severe exacerbations? (3)

  • fluid balance, SQ heparin for thromboembolism prophylaxis, treat comorbidities

    What should be monitored at all times during severe exacerbations? (3)

  • acute respiratory failure, cyanosis/peripheral edema, failure to respond to initial treatment, presence of serious comorbidities, insufficient home support

    When should an exacerbation result in hospitalization? (5)

  • LABA or LAMA; LAMA + LABA

    What are the follow-up treatments for Dyspnea? (2)

  • if blood eos >=300; can be given to patient unresponsive to LABA + LAMA w blood eosinophils >=100

    When do we give a patient a LABA + LAMA + ICS?

  • blood eos < 100

    When do we give a patient Roflumilast?

  • azithromycin

    What do we give them if the exacerbation is because of pneumonia, and their

    blood eosinophils are not within range for an ICS?

  • relieve symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, improve health status

    What steps are taken to reduce symptoms? (3)

  • prevent disease progression, prevent/treat exacerbations, reduce mortality

    What steps are taken to reduce risk? (3)

  • PaO2=55-60 mmHg; SaO2 < 88%

    Arterial hypoxemia thresholds?
