COPD GUIDNCE TRETMENT T ECH STGE OF THE DISESE COPD Guidance: Treatment at each stage of disease (based on GOLD July 2003 & NICE Feb 2010) 0: t Risk I: Mild II: Moderate III: Severe IV: Very Severe Chronic symptoms Exposure to risk factors Normal spirometry FEV 1 /FVC <70% FEV 1 80% With symptoms FEV 1 /FVC <70% 50% FEV 1 <80% With or without symptoms FEV 1 /FVC <70% 30% FEV 1 50% With or without symptoms FEV 1 /FVC <70% FEV 1 <30% or <50% with presence of chronic respiratory failure or right heart failure voidance of risk factor(s); influenza/pneumococcal vaccination ; ll COPD patients regardless of age should be encouraged to stop and offer help at every opportunity Mucolytics can be used at any stage in patients with troublesome cough and sputum (4 week trial). Do not use routinely to prevent exacerbations. gree and issue Fife COPD ction Plan / CHSS Traffic Lights ction Plan for COPD (with or without home supply of antibiotics/steroids) dd short-acting broncodilator and/or anticholinergic when needed dd regular treatment with one or more bronchodilators (LM/LB) dd pulmonary rehabilitation dd inhaled corticosteroids if repeated exacerbations Consider long term oxygen if chronic respiratory failure. Consider surgical treatments NHS Fife Respiratory MCN Version No: 3 Date: September 2014 Review Date: September 2017 pproved on behalf of NHS Fife by the Fife rea Drugs & Therapeutics Committee Date: December 2014 Page 2 of 9
Device options should be patient specific dependant on ability to use/compliance. Use standard MDI first line+/-spacer device. Consider use of dry powder inhaler where appropriate. Stage Drug & Device Options Dosing Options & General Guidance Stage 0: t Risk No inhaled drug therapy nnual influenza immunisation, pneumonia vaccination and smoking cessation Stage I: Mild Bronchodilator as needed or on regular basis to prevent / reduce worsening symptoms Stage II: Moderate dd regular prescription for long acting bronchodilators if patient experiences symptoms or exacerbations Stage III: Severe Regular inhaled corticosteroid if FEV 1 <50% and repeated exacerbations Stage IV: Very Severe Short acting β 2 agonist MDI Salbutamol DPI Easyhaler Salbutamol Short acting anticholinergic Ipratropium bromide Long acting anti-muscarinic (LM) 1 st choice: Tiotropium (Spiriva Handihaler ) 2 nd choice: clidinium (Eklira Genuair ) Long acting β 2 agonist (LB) MDI Salmeterol DPI Easyhaler Formoterol High dose inhaled corticosteroid MDI Fostair (beclometasone + formoterol) DPI 1 st choice: Relvar Ellipta (fluticasone furoate + vilanterol) 2 nd choice: Symbicort Turbohaler (budesonide + formoterol Consider referral for Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) 1) Use either short acting bronchodilator on a when required basis initially 2) If patient remains symptomatic add a long acting bronchodilator 1) dd LM first line and assess response after 3 months, remembering to stop all short acting anticholinergic therapy 2) If no response stop LM, add LB and reinitiate short acting anticholinergic if benefit was seen 3) If response seen to LM and patient still symptomatic add LB 4) If the initial LM is effective in providing symptom control but is not well tolerated, switching to an alternative LM should be considered Use combination products appropriate to previous treatment remember to stop long acting β 2 agonist if used in previous step.
