  • Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a progressive, systemic respiratory condition that affects millions of adults worldwide and remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in clinical practice. This continuing education activity presents current evidence-based approaches to diagnosis, classification, and management, incorporating the 2024 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease recommendations. Focus is placed on consistent spirometric confirmation, individualized pharmacotherapy guided by eosinophil counts and exacerbation history, and early recognition of disease-related complications. The clinician develops improved diagnostic accuracy, gains updated pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment strategies, and applies validated tools for risk stratification and prognosis. Collaboration with an interprofessional team, including respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and nursing professionals, enhances care coordination, supports adherence to therapy, and improves patient-centered outcomes across the continuum of disease severity.
