A Practical Approach to COPD Patient – Part 1-GSK - Practical Approach to COPD Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webinar, Dr. Soler and Dr. Celli discuss a practical approach to COPD patients. They begin by introducing the case of Jose, a 69-year-old retired roofer who complains of progressive dyspnea. They review his medical history and perform a spirometry test, which shows obstructive lung disease. The doctors emphasize the importance of spirometry in diagnosing and monitoring COPD. They also discuss other important factors to consider in COPD management, such as dyspnea and exacerbations. Based on Jose's symptoms and spirometry results, they classify him as a category B patient and recommend long-acting bronchodilators as the initial therapy. They discuss the effectiveness of bronchodilators in improving airflow and reducing dyspnea. The doctors stress the need for ongoing monitoring to guide therapy in COPD patients. They conclude by highlighting the preventability and treatability of COPD and encouraging viewers to reach out with any further questions. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
