Study Notes
COPD: Key Facts and Pathophysiology
- COPD encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema
- Main risk factors include tobacco smoking, occupational dust, chemicals, and indoor/outdoor air pollution
- Globally, responsible for approximately 3 million deaths annually, with tobacco smoke accounting for 70% of cases in high-income countries
- In Canada, prevalence increases steadily with age, higher in males over 60, and highest in NU, YT, NS, and NT
- 1-3% of COPD cases are caused by an inherited mutation in the α1-antitrypsin gene
- Emphysema is characterized by chronic inflammatory condition and destruction of alveolar walls without fibrosis
- Chronic bronchitis involves hypersecretion of mucus, chronic cough, and inflammation leading to airway remodeling
- Both conditions result in expiratory flow limitation and air trapping, increasing the work of breathing and causing dyspnea
- Air trapping and alveolar destruction can lead to ventilation/perfusion mismatches, hypoxia, and hypercapnia
- Malnutrition affects 1/3 of COPD patients
- Acute exacerbations of COPD can be caused by infections or unknown factors, leading to hospitalizations
- Diagnosis involves patient history, blood gas analysis, and functional lung testing with a GOLD definition of chronic obstruction as FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.
