  • Obravnava bolnika s KOPB in nove možnosti zdravljenja = Patient with C[!]OPD and new chalanges in treatment
    Košnik, Mitja
    The aim of the treatment of COPD patient is to reduce symptoms (breathlesness), frequency of exacerbations, the decline of lung function and to prolong survival. Regular inhalation of bronchodilators ... is the mainstay of drug therapy. Bronchodilator of choice is a long acting parasympathicolytic. Theophylline increases complication rate and causes side effects. Inhaled glucocorticoides slightly reduce frequency of exacerbations in patients with advanced disease. Oral glucocorticoides are prescribed for few days during COPD exacerbations. When during exacerbation patient expectorate more purulentsputum, antibiotic effective on S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae in M. Catarrhalis should be prescribed. Rehabilitation is more efficient than drugs.Giving up smoking cigarettes reduces the rate of decline of lung function. Long term success of quitting cigarettes is less than 10%. Nicotine patches and bupropion are useful for reducing abstinence symptoms. Long term oxygen therapy prolongs life of patients in respiratory insufficiency due to COPD.
