Contemporary issues in management of COPD and asthma
Description
The 2013 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Disease (GOLD) Guidelines defines chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as 'a common preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. Exacerbations and comorbidities contribute to the overall severity in individual patients.' Similarly, the Global Initiative for Asthma characterizes asthma as airflow obstruction but typified by variable and recurring symptoms, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and underlying inflammation of the airways. The nuances between these two conditions can be challenging. In this video, Dr. Make differentiates COPD from asthma and provides current approaches to comprehensive COPD management.
