COPD Management
Effective management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a comprehensive approach to alleviate symptoms, prevent exacerbations, and improve quality of life. Smoking cessation is the most crucial step to slow disease progression. Pharmacological treatments include bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and, in some cases, oxygen therapy. Pulmonary rehabilitation, combining exercise, education, and psychological support, improves physical function and reduces breathlessness. Vaccinations against influenza and pneumonia prevent infections. Nutritional support helps maintain strength, and managing comorbidities is essential. Advanced cases may require surgical interventions or non-invasive ventilation. Regular follow-ups ensure tailored care and improved outcomes.

The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
