Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is airflow limitation caused by an inflammatory response to inhaled toxins, often cigarette smoke. Diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, chest x-ray, and pulmon
...ary function tests. Treatment is with bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and, when necessary, oxygen and antibiotics. Lung volume reduction procedures or transplantation are used in advanced disease. About 50% of patients with severe COPD die within 10 years of diagnosis.
