IntroductionChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the top five causes of global mortality

COPD affects 210 million people worldwide and causes 3 million deaths annually (5% of all deaths worldwide)1

It is predicted to become the third leading cause of global mortality by 20302

The economic burden of COPD is high, with costs increasing as the disease progresses

- Costs associated with severe COPD are up to 17 times higher than those associated with mild COPD3

- High costs are associated with treatment of exacerbations, such as hospitalisation3

- Indirect costs include loss of productivity in the workplace owing to symptoms3

What is COPD?Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung

Disease (GOLD) defines COPD as (2009):“a preventable and treatable disease with some significant extrapulmonary effects that may contribute to the severity in individual patients. Its pulmonary component is characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious particles or gases”

Key points:- COPD is preventable and treatable- Airway limitation is not fully reversible and is usually

progressive- Extrapulmonary (systemic) effects play a significant

role- Associated with chronic inflammation in response to

inhaled noxious irritants

CLASSIFICATION OF COUGH

Cough is classified into acute and chronic

and Clinically subdivided into

productive and dry cough.Productive cough

is present at an expectoration rate of

30 ml/24 hours,

CLASSIFICATION OF COUGH

Acute cough is defined as one lasting less than three weeks

  Chronic cough is defined as one

lasting greater than eight weeks

Page 28: COPD

WHAT ARE EXACERBATIONS?

“an event in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient’s baseline dyspnea, cough, and/or sputum that is beyond normal day-to-day variations, is acute in onset and may warrant a change in regular medication”1

May be mild, moderate or severe in nature. More severe exacerbations can require hospitalisation and are associated with a prolonged recovery period2

Commonly caused by bacterial/viral infections of the lungs and airways1

Associated with increases in markers of inflammation3,4

DEFINITIONS OF EXACERBATIONS

COPD exacerbations were classified in clinical studies as follows:

‘Severe’ COPD exacerbation

– Requiring hospitalisation and/or leading to death

‘Moderate’ COPD exacerbation

Emphysema

Page 43: COPD

Emphysema• The fourth leading cause of death in the US• 3‐4 million people in the US suffer from emphysema• Current treatment is limited in efficacy

Page 44: COPD

What is EMPHYSEMA PULMONUM ?Emfisema paru-paru adalah keadaan di mana paru mengalami distensi yang abnormal yang disebabkan rupturnya dinding alveoli dengan atau tanpa disertai lolosnya udara ke jaringan interstisial sehingga menyebabkan berkurangnya ruang udara dan sulit bernapas (Blood, 1963).-Pelebaran alveoli-kerusakan pada dinding alveoli bronkioli kehilangan struktur penyangganya pada saat udara dikeluarkan, bronkioli akan mengkerut; -Struktur saluran udara menyempit dan sifatnya menetap -pembesaran paru-paru yang disebabkan oleh menggembungnya alveoli secara berlebihan +/- robeknya dinding alveoli-Udara pernafasan akan terdapat di dalam rongga jaringan interstitial atau tetap berada di dalam rongga alveoli saja

Page 45: COPD

Emfisema Paru-paru merupakan penyakit paru obstruktif kronik dgn gejala utamanya adalah penyempitan (obstruksi) saluran napas, karena kantung udara di paru menggelembung secara berlebihan dan mengalami kerusakan yang luas.

Page 46: COPD

• Centriacinar emfisema ditandai dengan pembesaran rongga udara di bagian proksimal acinus, terutama pada tingkat bronchiolus repiratorius. Seringkali terjadi gangguan rasio perfusi-ventilasi, yang menimbulkan hipoksia, hiperkapnia (peningkatan CO2 dalam darah arteri), polisitemia, dan episode gagal jantung kanan. Adanya sianosis, edema perifer, dan gagal napas.

• Distal acinar emfisema terbatas pada ujung distal alveolus di sepanjang septum interlobularis dan di bawah pleura membentuk bula.

Jenis emfisema berdasarkan lokasi kerusakan:

Page 47: COPD

Panacinar emfisema pembesaran rongga udara yang relatif seragam di seluruh acinus. Merupakan bentuk yang jarang, gambaran khas nya adalah tersebar merata di seluruh paru-paru, meskipun bagian-bagian basal cenderung terserang lebih parah. Tipe ini sering timbul pada hewan dengan defisiensi alfa-1 anti tripsin Ciri khasnya yaitu memiliki dada yang hiperinflasi dan ditandai oleh dispnea saat aktivitas, dan penurunan berat badan.

• Irregular emfisema kerusakan pada parenkim paru tanpa menimbulkan kerusakan pada asinus.

Bronchoscopic Lung VolumeReduction for Emphysema

The Concept of lung Volume Reduction• Lung volume Reduction1. – Removal of the most destroyed hyperinflated poorly perfused areas of the lung can enhance

the function of the remaining “normal” lung and leads to functional and symptomatic improvement2. – Applicable in heterogeneous emphysema (upper lobe predominant)• Multiple retrospective and prospective studies reported success with surgical lung volume reduction

Page 51: COPD

SUMMARY

COPD is a debilitating disease that presents a huge healthcare and economic burden around the world

The major risk factor for developing COPD is tobacco smoking

COPD encompasses damage to the airways, and chronic pulmonary and systemic inflammation

The symptoms of COPD include breathlessness, chronic cough and sputum production

Page 52: COPD

Chronic inflammation in the airways and systemic circulation contributes to the pathology of COPD

COPD-specific inflammation is characterised by increased neutrophils, CD8+ T-lymphocytes and

macrophages, as well as cytokines and other inflammatory mediators

Inflammatory processes activated in asthma are different from COPD-specific inflammation

Chronic inflammation is present from the onset of COPD and increases with disease progression. Airway

inflammation increases during exacerbations Effective COPD management should include agents

that target the chronic inflammation underlying the disease

Page 53: COPD

Exacerbations are attacks in which symptoms increase beyond daily variations

Patients with frequent exacerbations have a poor prognosis and increased risk of

mortality

Inflammation is increased during exacerbations

The symptoms of chronic cough and sputum production are associated with an increased

risk of exacerbations

Preventing exacerbations is a major goal of COPD management

Page 54: COPD

COPD is diagnosed based on medical history, exposure to risk factors and assessment of lung

function by spirometry

GOLD guidelines recommend seven goals for COPD management, including reducing the

frequency of exacerbations

Non-pharmacological management of COPD includes smoking cessation

GOLD guidelines recommend stepwise addition of pharmacological treatments based on the

severity of COPD
