BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL ASPECTS IN COPD

INTRODUCTION COPD: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND FACTS

COPD = Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Definition: “Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and
treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow
limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant
exposure to noxious particles or gases.”
à Persistente symptomen: altijd aanwezig

Symptoms:

- Dyspnea: progressive, persistent and characteristically worse with exercise.
à Dyspnea: breathlessness, air hunger, niet genoeg lucht krijgen (begint met geen
lucht te krijgen als je fysiek actief bent)
- Chronic cough: may be intermittent and may be unproductive.
à Cough: hoesten en er komt iets uit = productieve hoest vs onproductief
- Chronic sputum production: COPD patients commonly cough up sputum
à Sputum: mucus gemaakt in de luchtwegen

à Some overlap with asthma symptoms (but COPD onset mid-life (40y), symptoms develop
slowly and progressive, often long smoking history) + er is een subtype met asthma

Prevalent comorbidities:
à Is een luchtwegziekte, maar mensen met COPD hebben vaak veel comorbiditeiten; veel
psychologische comorbiditeiten

- Cardiovascular diseases, Osteoporosis, Diabetes, Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction…
- Respiratory infections, Lung cancer, Bronchiectasis…
- Anxiety and Depression, …

Treatment:

- Bronchodilator medications (eg, beta2-agonists, anticholinergics), inhaled
corticosteroids…
- Smoking cessation, avoidance of noxious stimuli
- Multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise)
- Others (oxygen therapy, ventilatory support, lung volume reduction/transplant,
palliative care)
à Lung volume reduction: delen die niet werken wegnemen

,Classification:




- Voorheen: alleen geclassificeerd volgens air flow limitation (mild, severe, very
severe)
à De kracht v uitademen meten (zoals bij asthma)
- Nu: 2e classificatiesysteem: ook met symptomen rekening houden en met het aantal
periodes waarin de ziekte erger opkomt (exacerbation)
- mMRC: schaal wat vraagt naar situaties waarin patiënten breathlessness ervaren
- CAT: COPD assessment test (ook hoe het voelt en de impact op het leven)
- D: very severe: veel symptomen, vaak erdoor in ziekenhuis

, Er is niet 1 vorm
à Minstens 2

- Small ariways disease: gaat meer over de tubes v luchtwegen
Rechts in de linkse figuur: constricted, swollen airways (beetje zoals astma, maar bij
astma gaan symptomen weg met tijd of behandeling, maar bij COPD blijft het, altijd
wel een beetje bronchoconstrictie)
- Parenchymal destruction: alveoli zijn kleine zakjes waar gas exchange gebeurt
vaak werken alveoli niet meer, gesloten waardoor lucht er niet meer uit kan, dan heb
je geen ventilatie meer, delen zijn dood of werken niet meer à leidt tot air hunger

à Beide pathways kunnen dezelfde invloed hebben, sommige patiënten zitten meer aan de
ene of andere kant
