Overview

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of mortality and chronic morbidity throughout the world; currently it is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. The most common causes of acute COPD exacerbation, a frequent reason for hospital admission, include tracheobronchial tree infection, climatic changes, and patient non-compliance. This review outlines the basic pathophysiological characteristics of COPD exacerbation and indication criteria for patient hospitalization in a routine care ward or an ICU. Principles of comprehensive conservative therapy and strategies of invasive and non-invasive ventilatory support are outlined, including current concepts of a potential reduction of respiratory work by administering a mixture of helium and oxygen (heliox) in acute respiratory failure.

Key words:
COPD, respiratory insufficiency, mechanical ventilation, heliox.
