How to diagnose COPD
Test FEV1 <70% AFTER giving short acting bronchodilator
3 most common symptoms of COPD
dyspnea, cough, sputum
CAT assessment criteria (7)
Cough, sputum, tightness, stairs/breathless, limits on home activities, confident leaving home, sleep soundly, energy
MMRC dyspnea scale
1 - slight hill, 2- slower than everyone else on flat ground, 3 - stop after 100 yards, 4- too breathless to leave house
Gold scale
1 (mild) FEV more than 80%, 2 (moderate) 50
how to combine assessment of COPD (GOLD standard)
mMRC or CAT (low or high) and then number of exacerbations/year (0-1 vs 2 or more)
COPD combined assessment categories (4)
A: less symptoms, less risk. B: more symptoms, less risk. C: Less symptoms, high risk. D: More symptoms, high risk.
COPD comorbidiities (6)
CVD, Osteoporosis, RI, Anxiety/depresion, DM, Lung cancer
5 med categories for COPD
Beta 2 agonists, Anticholinergics, Methylxanthines, Corticosteroids, Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors.

when FEV1 is less than 40%, or pt. is over 65
Can O2 therapy increase survival rates? With whom?
pts with severe resting hypoxemia
when is lung volume reduction surgery indicated
pts with upper-lobe emphysema and low exercise capacity
use of corticosteroids with COPD
recommended short term and/or in combination with others long term. Not LT monotherapy!
what is an exacerbation of COPD
worse symptoms beyond normal day-to-day variations AND leads to Cx. In medication
most common cause of COPD exacerbation
URI or infective trachea/bronchitis
normal Rx for exacerbation
Short acting bronchodilators with or without anthicholinergics, corticosteroids and antibiotics, noninvasive ventilation
ideal pulse ox reading for COPD patient
88-92% to keep from getting O2 dependent
3 cardinal symptoms indicating use of antibiotics in COPD
increased dyspnea, increased sputum, and increased sputum purulence. AND/or mechanical ventilation.
why does smoking increase pneumonia risk?
disrupts ciliary and macrophage activity
Why does NPO increase pneumonia risk?
colonization of bacteria in pharynx
why does ETOH increase pneumonia risk?
decreases ciliary mvmt and immunosuppression
classical symptoms of pneumonia
PaO2 <80%, shaking chills, stabbing chest pain, fever, and increased HR 10 BPM for every degree Celsius, increased WBC (with bacterial) or lymphocyte (Viral)
normal WBC count
5-10,000
why would monocytes be high?
chronic infection/ end of infection (become macrophages)
why would eosinophil count be high?
inflammatory or allegic reaction
Never let momma eat beans
order of multiplicity in blood. Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils
what does WBC "shift to the left" mean?
high neutrophil and band (immature neutrophils) count. Indicates acute bacterial infection.
HAP timing
48 hours or more after admission
VAP timing
24 hours to 4 days after intubation
HCAP timing
within 2 days of admission in a pt who is in a LTCF, was hospitalized within past 30 days, or received blood dialysis
CAP timing
pneumonia present upon admission
parenchyma
function tissue of an organ (ex. Lung or liver), as opposed to support structure (such as pleura)
does asthma increase mucus production
Why yes, it does!
AG->AB response
antigen to antibody
viral illnesses often lead to…
sinusitis (treat with amoxicillin)
can cold precipate asthma?
yes, it can! And also sinus infection.
