Current medication:Inj. Hydro Cortisone Na 100mg SOSInj. Imipenem & Cilastatin 500mg BDInj. Pralidoxime Iodide 40mg ODInj. Etophylline +Theophylline 2ml ODT.Levo Salbutamol BDBudesonide Nebuliser BDAcetyl Cysteine Nebuliser BD
Inj. Furosemide 10mg SOSInj. Paracetamol 250mg BDInj. Magnesium Sulphate 100ml ODT.Atenolol 25mg BDT.Lactic Acid Bacillus TID
A significant cause of breathlessness in COPD is hyperinflation of the lungs due to air trapping due to broncho constriction.
most often caused by infectionssuch as acute bronchitis and pneumoniaand air pollution. Inj. Hydrocortisone Sodium , a corticosteroid is prescribed to prevent flare-up
Imipenem& Cilastatin for bacterial exacerbations of COPD
Inj.Pralidoxime Iodide for Respiratory Depression
Inj Etophylline + Theophylline to prevent flare-up
T. Levo Salbutamol (Bronchodilator)
Budesonide Nebuliser control of asthma and COPD in persons requiring continuous, prolonged treatment.
Acetyl Cysteine Nebuliser Mucolytic
Need for Therapy :Long-acting bronchodilators help prevent breathing problems. They help people whose symptoms do not go away (persistent symptoms). They include: Anticholinergics (such as tiotropium). Beta2-agonists (such as arformoterol, formoterol, or salmeterol).
Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitorsPhosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors are taken every day to help prevent COPD exacerbations. The only PDE4 inhibitor available is roflumilast.Normalize breathing and to prevent further attack.
1. Continue the current medication2. Nil3. Nil4. Avoid non selective blockers for treating Hypertension in this patient because of their broncho constriction effect.Continue emphasizing medication adherence.
Anyregular exercise or physical activityis good.
However, ideally the activity that you do should make you at least a little out of breath
Avoid bad air (airway irritants like air pollutions, chemical fumes, and dust)
