Pathology of COPD
1. “Within the mind are all the
resources required for successful
living. Ideas are present in the
consciousness, which when released
and given scope to grow and take
shape, lead to successful events”
- Wings of Fire: An Autobiography of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

you can't, you are right…!”

3. CPC14: Mrs. PT. 64y Fem. SOB
Mrs. P.T. 64 y female, to ED at TTH.
Worsening SOB, years, worst today - At rest
• Previously SOB after exertion- COPD.
• Gradually worsening over the years, now O2 at night.
• Sputum chronic clear white, but light brown today.
• Cough - on and off for years, No wheeze, no hemoptysis,
• Chest pain worse with breathing today, fever, sweaty.
• Smoked 3 packs/day for 35 years; quit 7y ago.
Foreign travel: Norfolk Island 3wks. No health problem.
RX: Pneumonia, COPD, Emphysema, CCF

17. Pathology of Smoking
Research evidence: smoking disease
>4000 chemicals, 43 carcinogens.
>90% of COPD is due to smoking.
15% of smokers develop COPD.
Injury & inflammation central to damage.
Smoking a single cigarette results in an acute
increase in neutrophils at 1 hour.
Increased neutrophils in smokers, which
decrease following reduction/quitting.
Patients with COPD have sputum neutrophilia
that persists even after cessation of smoking.

44. Pneumonia: Clinical vignette
50y man, alcoholic, high fever, cough, copious foul
smelling brown sputum, pleuritic rt sided chest pain.
HPC: wife reports that he was brought home in a semi-conscious
state a few days ago – drunk.
Thin, distressed, pursed lip breathing, using accessory
muscles of respiration, cannot speak in full sentences,
leaning forwards…*
39°C, RR-22/min, peripheral cyanosis.
Chest-rib in-drawing, diminished air entry, soft expiratory
wheezes, bronchial breathing L lower post chest.
PE: fever, consolidation right middle and lower lobes.
sputum microscopy - abundant PMN and mixed oral
flora.

62. Restrictive vs Obstructive
Interstitial - (stiff lung)
Increased tissue
Relatively normal
FEV1:FVC ratio
Normal PEFR.
Types:
Acute – ARDS,Viral.
Chronic -
pneumoconioses &
sarcoidosis, Int. fibrosis.
Obstructive (soft lung)
Destruction of tissue.
Low FEV1:VC ratio
Low PEFR.
Types:
•Localised & Diffuse
•Reversible & progressive.
•COPD
•Asthma
•Bronchiectasis,
63. Pulmonary Function Testing:
FVC - Forced Vital Capacity – Liters - diagnosis of obstructive and
restrictive diseases.
FEV1 - Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second –
obstructive/restrictive diseases.
FEV1/FVC - FEV1 Percent (FEV1%) - it indicates what percentage
of the total FVC was expelled from the lungs during the first second
of forced exhalation. critically important in differentiating obstructive
from restrictive diseases.
FEV3 - Forced Expiratory Volume in Three Seconds – equal to FVC
in normal.
FEV3/FVC - FEV3% - normal is 1 or 100%
PEFR - Peak Expiratory Flow Rate - this is maximum flow rate
achieved by the patient. For monitoring response to treatment.
FEF - Forced Expiratory Flow - is a measure of how much air can be
expired from the lungs (liters/second or liters/minute). The FVC
expiratory curve is divided into quartiles and therefore there is a FEF
that exists for each quartile. The quartiles are expressed as
FEF25%, FEF50%, and FEF75% of FVC.
64. PFT: interpretation:
Check FVC & FEV1 – normal normal PFT
If FVC and/or FEV1 are low - Pathology.
Check FEV1/FVC ratio:
FEV1/FVC% (<70%) - Obstructive.
FEV1 /FEVC% (>80%)- Restrictive.
An improvement in FEV1 of 200ml or more after
bronchodilator suggests versibility Asthma.
65. “A person with belief never grovels
before anyone, whining and whimpering
that it’s all too much, that he lacks
support, that he is being treated unfairly.
Instead, such a person tackles problems
head on and then affirms, I am greater
than anything that can happen to me.”
- Wings of Fire: An Autobiography of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
75. Asthma Morphology:
Bronchial obstruction with overinflation
• Small areas of atelectasis (collapse) may be seen
Inflammation & thickening of mucosa.
Bronchial wall smooth muscle hypertrophy
Thickening of bronchial basement membrane.
Mucus plugging of bronchi
Curschmann spirals: whorls of shed epithelium
within mucus plugs
Charcot-Leyden crystals: Within aggregates of
eosinophils – crystalloids of galectin-10
88. Total Lung Capacity (TLC) - the total volume of the lung, the volume of
air contained in the lung at the end of maximal inspiration
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) - volume, which can be inspired
beyond a restful inspiration
Tidal Volume (TV) – volume of a single breath, usually at rest
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) - The amount of air left in the lungs
after a tidal breath out, the amount of air that stays in the lungs during
normal breathing
Vital Capacity (VC) – maximum volume which can be ventilated in a
single breath
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) - the maximal volume that can be inspired
following a normal expiration
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) – volume, which can be expired
beyond a restful expiration
Residual Volume (RV) – volume remaining in the lungs after a maximum
expiration
89. Volumes
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) - the volume of air
that can forcibly be blown out after full
inspiration, measured in litres
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) -
the maximum volume of air that can forcibly
blow out in the first second during the FVC
manoeuvre, measured in liters
FEV1/FVC (FEV1%) - in healthy adults this
should be approximately 75–80%.
• Obstructive diseases (asthma, COPD) FEV1 is ↓ & FVC n/↑ so FEV1/FVC is
decreased (<80%, often ~45%).
• In restrictive diseases (Lung fibrosis/silicosis) FEV1 and FVC are both reduced
proportionally and the FEV1/FVC value may be normal or even increased as a
result of decreased lung compliance
