COPD Treatment: Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a lung condition that makes breathing difficult. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms, slowing the disease's progression, reducing the risk of complications, and improving overall quality of life. The severity of your symptoms and how often they worsen (called exacerbations) will guide treatment.

Quitting Smoking: The single most important step in managing COPD is quitting smoking completely. Smoking damages your lungs and makes COPD worse. Quitting is challenging, but resources are available. Talk to your doctor about stop-smoking programs, nicotine replacement therapies, medications, and strategies for dealing with relapses. Support groups can also be helpful. Avoid secondhand smoke as much as possible.

Medications: Several medications treat COPD symptoms and complications. Some are taken regularly, while others are used as needed. Most COPD medications are delivered through inhalers, small devices that deliver medicine directly to your lungs when you breathe in a mist or powder. Nebulizers are another option. These machines turn liquid medicine into a mist that you breathe in. Different types of nebulizers exist, including compressor, ultrasonic, and mesh/membrane models, each creating a mist in a slightly different way.

• Bronchodilators: These medications relax the muscles around your airways, easing breathing and coughing. Short-acting bronchodilators are used before activities, while long-acting ones are taken daily. Common examples include albuterol (ProAir, Ventolin, Proventil), ipratropium (Atrovent), levalbuterol (Xopenex), and combination inhalers like ipratropium bromide-albuterol (Combivent Respimat).

• Inhaled Steroids: These steroids reduce inflammation in the airways, helping prevent flare-ups (exacerbations). Possible side effects include mouth infections, hoarseness, and bruising. They're primarily useful for people who experience frequent exacerbations.

• Combination Inhalers: These inhalers combine bronchodilators and/or inhaled steroids. Examples include: Aclidinium bromide-formoterol fumarate (Duaklir Pressair), Glycopyrrolate-formoterol fumarate (Bevespi Aerosphere), Tiotropium bromide-olodaterol (Stiolto Respimat), Umeclidinium-vilanterol (Anoro Ellipta), Budesonide-glycopyrrolate-formoterol fumarate (Breztri Aerosphere), Fluticasone-vilanterol (Breo Ellipta), Fluticasone furoate-umeclidinium-vilanterol (Trelegy Ellipta), Budesonide-formoterol (Breyna, Symbicort), and Fluticasone propionate-salmeterol (Advair, AirDuo RespiClick, Wixela Inhub).

• Oral Steroids: Short courses (3-5 days) of oral corticosteroids can help during severe flare-ups. However, long-term use can have significant side effects like weight gain, diabetes, osteoporosis, cataracts, and a higher risk of infection.

• Phosphodiesterase-4 Inhibitors: Roflumilast (Daliresp) is used for people with severe COPD and chronic bronchitis. It reduces inflammation and relaxes airways. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and weight loss.

• Theophylline: Theophylline (Elixophyllin, Theo-24, Theochron) may help with breathing and prevent exacerbations if other treatments haven't worked or cost is a factor. Side effects depend on dosage and can include nausea and trouble sleeping. Blood tests are often used to monitor theophylline levels. High levels can cause irregular heartbeats and seizures.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be used to treat infections that worsen COPD symptoms (like bronchitis, pneumonia, or the flu), but they aren't typically used for prevention. Some studies suggest that certain antibiotics (like azithromycin) may help prevent exacerbations, but side effects and antibiotic resistance must be considered.

Other Therapies:

• Oxygen Therapy: Supplemental oxygen may be needed if your blood oxygen levels are low. Oxygen is delivered through a mask or nasal cannula. The amount of oxygen needed varies from person to person.

• Pulmonary Rehabilitation: These programs combine education, exercise, breathing techniques, nutrition, and counseling. They can help improve daily activities, quality of life, and reduce hospitalizations after flare-ups.

• In-home Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV): NIV, such as BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), may help prevent exacerbations in some people with severe COPD. It helps with breathing and reduces the amount of carbon dioxide retained in the lungs.

Managing Exacerbations: Even with ongoing treatment, COPD symptoms can worsen. These flare-ups (exacerbations) require prompt medical attention. Possible causes include respiratory infections or air pollution. Seek immediate medical help if you experience a worsening cough, changes in mucus, or difficulty breathing. Treatment during exacerbations may involve antibiotics, steroids, oxygen, or hospitalization. After recovery, your doctor will discuss strategies to prevent future exacerbations.

Surgical Options: In some cases of severe emphysema, surgery may be an option:

• Lung Volume Reduction Surgery: Removes damaged lung tissue, allowing remaining healthy tissue to expand better.

• Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction: A minimally invasive procedure that places valves in the lungs to allow air to escape from damaged areas.

• Lung Transplant: A major option for some people, but carries significant risks of organ rejection and requires lifelong immune-suppressing medications.

• Bullectomy: Removes large air spaces (bullae) in the lungs to improve airflow.

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency (AAT): People with COPD due to AAT deficiency may benefit from AAT protein replacement therapy in addition to standard COPD treatments.
