Abstract:
The article introduced two approaches for diagnosis of chronic obstructed pulmonary disease (COPD): definitive diagnosis by pulmometry with bronchial dilation maneuver and staging diagnosis. 4 current treatments include: reducing risk factors, drug treatment in stable periods (treatment regimen, bronchodilators, glucocorticoid and other medication), non-drug treatment (rehabilitation, long-term oxygen therapy, surgical treatment) and treatment for exacerbation.
