7^th International Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Conference

COPD Therapeutics

The objective of COPD management is to enhance a patient's functional status and quality by protecting optimal lung function, enhancing indications, and keeping the recurrence of exacerbations. At present, no medicines aside from lung transplantation have been appeared to significantly enhance lung function or decrease mortality; however, oxygen treatment and smoking cessation may decrease mortality. Once the diagnosis of COPD is established, it is essential to educate the patient about the sickness and to empower their active interest in treatment. Bronchodilators are the foundation of any COPD treatment regimen. They work by enlarging aviation routes, accordingly diminishing wind stream protection.
