  • Kronična obstruktivna pljučna bolezen (KOPB) - zgodnja diagnostika in pristop k bolniku = COPD - early diagnosis and approach to the patient
    Fležar, Matjaž
    Smoking is a habit that has obvious harmful effects on human health. One of the major consequences of continuous smoking is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It develops in one smoker out of ten ... who have smoked 25 cigarettes a day for at least ten years. After this time, lung damage can be detected by performing common lung function tests that confirm the diagnosis. At least 90%of such patients remain undiagnosed, since smokers do not recognize their symptoms as a sign of disease but believe them to be part of the normal aging process. All smokers who visit primary care facilities should be screened witha proper respiratory symptom questionnaire and in case of positive answers, office spirometry should be performed. An obstructive pattern that cannot be eliminated by administering a bronchodilator is confirmatory of COPDand further treatment steps should be made with emphasis on the smoking cessation program.
