Chest. A symptom reported AECOPD is defined solely based on a patient's symptoms.1 This is regardless of whether the patient seeks medical attention or receives treatment for the exacerbation. All antibiotic dosages listed below are based on normal renal and hepatic function. Recommended diagnostic evaluation of an exacerbation depends on its severity (Table 4).5,8,9,12,13 Pulse oximetry should be performed in all patients.

Contemporary management of acute exacerbations of COPD: a systematic review and metaanalysis. corrected] An RCT comparing oral and intravenous prednisolone in equivalent dosages (60 mg daily) showed no difference in lengths of hospitalization and rates of early treatment failure.22, Because oral corticosteroids are bioavailable, inexpensive, and convenient, parenteral corticosteroids should be reserved for patients with poor intestinal absorption or comorbid conditions that prevent safe oral intake (e.g., decreased mental status, vomiting).5,6 Inhaled corticosteroids have no role in the management of an acute exacerbation.8, One half of patients with COPD exacerbations have high concentrations of bacteria in their lower airways.6,23 Cultures often show multiple infectious agents, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and viruses.6,23, The use of antibiotics in moderately or severely ill patients with COPD exacerbations reduces the risk of treatment failure and death.24 Antibiotics may also benefit patients with mild exacerbations and purulent sputum.5 The optimal choice of antibiotic and length of use are unclear. Infection of the tracheobronchial tree and air pollution (e.g., tobacco smoke, occupational exposures, ozone) are the most common identifiable causes of COPD exacerbations. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. Predictive factors of hospitalization for acute exacerbation in a series of 64 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In a study by Daniels et al, the addition to doxycycline to corticosteroids was found to somewhat improve treatment for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation improves respiratory acidosis and decreases respiratory rate, breathlessness, need for intubation, mortality, and length of hospital stay. Bossuyt PM. Patients who have had previous exacerbations, a low baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), secondary pulmonary hypertension and/or gastrointestinal reflux disease are at increased risk of developing an acute exacerbation of COPD.

High-flow oxygen devices deliver oxygen more reliably than nasal prongs, but nasal prongs may be better tolerated. Gonzalez AV, Ram FS, Inpatient mortality for COPD exacerbations is 3 to 4 percent.9 Patients admitted to the intensive care unit have a 43 to 46 percent risk of death within one year after hospitalization.9. 3,16,17 Supplemental oxygen should also be initiated and titrated to achieve an oxygen saturation of 88% to 92%.

The initial evaluation of patients with a suspected COPD exacerbation should include a history of baseline and current symptoms, such as limitations in activities of daily living. Wedzicha JA. Gonzalez AV, Hannay M, Nici L, The decision to use antibiotics and the choice of antibiotic should be guided by the patient's symptoms (e.g., presence of purulent sputum), recent antibiotic use, and local microbial resistance patterns.18,23,25 Prophylactic, continuous use of antibiotics does not improve outcomes in patients with COPD.6. Parenteral methylxanthines, such as theophylline, are not routinely recommended for the treatment of COPD exacerbations.27 These agents are less effective and have more potentially adverse effects than inhaled bronchodilators.
