Quiz sur la BPCO

Bronchopneumopathie Chronique Obstructive (BPCO)

• Etiologie principale: Smoking (tabagisme) accounts for 80% of BPCO cases.
• Percentage of BPCO associated with smoking: 80%
• Annual decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) for smokers: 60 to 100 ml per year.
• Percentage of French population affected by BPCO: 10%
• Duration of cough and phlegm for COPD diagnosis: 3 consecutive months
• Prevalence of chronic obstructive bronchitis: 5 million people in France.
• Definition of emphysema: Permanent enlargement of distal airspaces
• Types of emphysema: Centrilobular, panlobular, paracicatricial
• Sign of "blue bloaters": Significant cyanosis and obesity
• Functional respiratory alteration in BPCO: Decrease in FEV1/FVC ratio below 70%.
• Stage of BPCO where FEV1 is under 30%: Stage 4
• Primary indication for oxygen therapy in COPD: A low oxygen saturation (SpO2) of less than 85% OR a partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) below 55 mmHg or between 56–60 mmHg with evidence of pulmonary hypertension.
• Indication for non-invasive ventilation (NIV): Respiratory failure with hypercapnia (PaCO2 > 60 mmHg)
• Target SpO2 during COPD exacerbation: 90-93%
• Main complication of COPD exacerbation: Acute respiratory failure (ARF)
• Effectiveness of smoking cessation in COPD: 10-20% of patients experience improvement
• Minimum duration of respiratory rehabilitation program: 6 weeks
• Function of bronchodilators in COPD: Relaxing bronchial smooth muscle to ease breathing
• First-line treatment for COPD: Smoking cessation
• Target of preventive anticoagulation in COPD exacerbations: Preventing blood clots (thrombosis and embolisms)
