Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management01:29

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids

Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Nursing Management

Nursing management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is crucial for providing thorough care and support to patients. Nurses play an integral role in this process through detailed assessment, careful planning, targeted interventions, and ongoing evaluation. Here's an overview of the critical steps in nursing management for COPD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease I: Introduction01:23

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease I: Introduction

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common, preventable, and treatable respiratory disorder characterized by persistent symptoms and progressive airflow limitation. This limitation results from a combination of small-airway disease (obstructive bronchiolitis) and parenchymal destruction (emphysema), both driven by chronic inflammation from exposure to harmful particles or gases.The disease includes two main pathological entities: emphysema, marked by destruction of alveolar walls and...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction01:20

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:17

Drugs Used in Lower Respiratory Disorders: Overview

Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.
Bronchodilators, the first step of respiration enhancement, come in various forms, each with its own mechanism...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Refractory chronic cough (RCC) management often lacks structured, theory-informed non-pharmacological interventions.
  • Behavioral interventions show promise for RCC but require systematic development and evaluation.
  • Telehealth offers a scalable platform for delivering behavioral interventions for chronic cough.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the development and feasibility of CoughRetrain, a theory-informed telehealth behavioral program for refractory chronic cough (RCC).
  • To integrate behavior-change strategies supporting voluntary cough control in adults with RCC.
  • To assess the preliminary efficacy of CoughRetrain on self-efficacy, quality of life, and cough frequency.

Main Methods:

  • CoughRetrain development followed Medical Research Council guidance, including multidisciplinary refinement and formative testing.
  • A five-session individual telehealth program incorporating education, graded suppression, motivational interviewing, and goal setting.
  • Feasibility pilot in adults with RCC assessed adherence, fidelity, adverse events, and key outcome measures including cough-specific self-efficacy and 24-hour objective cough frequency.

Main Results:

  • Eleven of twelve participants completed the CoughRetrain program with high adherence.
  • No serious adverse events were reported; two non-serious events occurred.
  • Significant improvements were observed in cough-specific self-efficacy (0.3±0.6), cough-related quality of life (LCQ: 3.6±3.0 points), and a 48% reduction in 24-hour objective cough frequency.

Conclusions:

  • CoughRetrain is a safe and feasible telehealth intervention for refractory chronic cough (RCC).
  • The program was developed through a transparent, patient-informed process.
  • Further controlled studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term efficacy of this behavioral intervention for RCC.
