متن کاملAcute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: causes and impacts.
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are recognised clinically as episodes of increased breathlessness and productive cough requiring a more intensive treatment. A subset of patients with this disease is especially prone to such exacerbations. These patients are labelled as 'frequent exacerbators'. Though yet poorly characterised in terms of host characteristics...
متن کاملExacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: definition, aetiology and management.
(COPD) is preventable and treatable. It is characterised by airflow limitation which is not fully reversible and is progressive. The pathophysiological basis is an abnormal inflammatory response by the lung to inhaled noxious particles or gases, particularly cigarette smoke.1 In the developing world exposure to indoor air pollution, such as fumes from biomass fuels for cooking and heating, is a...
