mometasone in the case of formoterol. Tiotropium is a long acting anti­cholinergic agent that is also often used in the outpatient treatment of COPD and may be used with LABAs to good effect. Maintenance of hos­pitalized patients on these longer-acting bronchodilating preparations with the use of short-acting bronchodilating agents (SABAs) every 4 hr on an as-needed basis may offer an alternative strategy to nebulized short-acting bronchodilators every 4 hr.
Methylxanthines (theophylline and aminophylline) can be administered orally or intravenously. They provide dose-dependent bronchodilation and can be titrated using serum levels. They may also have anti-inflammatory properties. Methylxanthines have lost favor in the treatment of airway obstruction because of their narrow window of the toxic-to-therapeutic ratio. They may nevertheless play a role in the refractory patient, as they may offer an alternative means of achieving airway relaxation independ­ently of the beta and cholinergic receptors.
Oral and parenteral glucocorticoids. Concurrent use of glucocorticoid therapy by the intravenous or oral route is recommended for the initial treatment of severe exacerbations of COPD requiring hospitalization.

The exact mechanism of action is unclear; anti-inflammatory effects as well as resensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors may be involved. A list of commonly used steroid preparations administered for obstructive dis­ease is shown in Table 2. High doses of steroids as well as prolonged use have recently been suggested to be no more effective than short term use with low doses. By contrast, the high dose intravenous route has been associated with higher rates of complications as well as increased hospi­tal costs. In a retrospective study by Lindenauer,

oral doses of pred-
nisone 20–60 mg once daily were as effective as an intravenous regimen.
Oxygen and assisted ventilation. Oxygen therapy is a fundamental part of the therapy for COPD exacerbations in the hospital. Adequate supplemental oxygen should be titrated to keep the patient’s oxygenation at adequate levels (SaO

> 90%; PaO2> 60 mmHg). A number of oxygen delivery systems
allow for the accurate titration of oxygen so as not to cause suppression of

the respiratory drive. These systems (preferably high flow Venturi masks) allow for reliable delivery of oxygen at F
IO2
between 24 and 55%.13Because of the possible insidious development of hypercapnea, an arterial blood gas should be performed after the initiation of oxygen therapy in this setting (usually within an hour of establishing satisfactory oxygenation).
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in the setting of impending respiratory failure can stabilize patients with severe exacerbations and prevent the need for intubation with mechanical ventilation (Table 3). Initiation of this therapy requires skilled adjustment of noninvasive equipment and titra­tion of pressures for patient comfort and is usually best accomplished in conjunction with a respiratory therapist.
Preventing complications. Patients with COPD have an excess of comorbidities, based on their frequent history of smoking and the possi­ble effects of an as-yet-poorly-characterized chronic inflammatory state.

Cardiovascular disease is particularly common and may be the cause of morbidity and death in a large fraction of COPD patients admit­ted for acute exacerbation. Thromboembolic disease is a frequent com­plication of COPD exacerbation.

asymptomatic. The frequency of PE during acute exacerbations of COPD has been estimated to be as high as 29% and PE accounts for up to 10% of deaths in COPD patients treated with long term oxygen. The high prevalence of this complication with acute exacerbations of COPD warrants the consideration of PE in exacerbations not responding to standard therapy, and that prophylaxis be routinely administered in these patients.

The ideal length of hospitalization for acute exacerbation is not determined but patients should be stable both clinically and objectively (e.g. adequate gas exchange and decreased bronchodilator requirements) for at least 24 hr before discharge is considered. A written action plan with recommenda­tions for the treatment of a repeat exacerbation is required. The care plan should be based on guidelines developed for the management of stable outpatient COPD, such as those described in the GOLD guidelines. Assessment of immunization status (influenza and S. pneumoniae) should be made before discharge and the patient immunized if indicated. Smoking cessation, if the patient is a current smoker, needs to be addressed. The patient should be evaluated for possible pulmonary reha­bilitation at the time of discharge. Patients should be taught how to rec­ognize acute exacerbation and given specific instructions on how to manage exacerbations. The patient’s home situation should be fully addressed by home care and respiratory services. Home oxygen and visiting nurse services when needed should be in place, so that upon arrival at home the patient will not be without adequate resources. Medical followup should occur within 4–6 weeks.
Phophodiesterase IV inhibitors.
This newly developed class of agents has now been introduced for the management of COPD patients. Its role is not as yet totally defined but it is recommended by the GOLD Guidelines for patients with severe or very severe airway obstruction (GOLD 3 & 4). The expected outcome is to reduce the frequency and severity of exacerbations, and when taken in conjuction with long-acting bronchodilators, to modestly improve FEV1. GI side-effects and sleep disturbance are the most commonly reported side effects. The available product in the United States, roflumilast, is given orally 500 mcg once daily.

Hospital Management of COPD Exacerbations

Conclusions

Acute exacerbations of COPD, particularly those requiring hospitalization, are critical mileposts in the course of this disease. Early and appropriate management of these events — including treating their underlying cause, reversing the physiologic consequences (which include bronchospasm, respiratory failure and cor pulmonale) and limiting the consequences of comorbidities — is the challenge for the hospital-based physician. No less important is ensuring that the COPD patient has received all the preventive strategies prior to discharge and that a smooth transition back to the out­patient environment has been arranged.

Evaluation and Treatment of Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease
June Kim and Timothy J. Harkin*

Key Pearls

The American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) have revised the classification of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and introduced the term “diffuse parenchymal lung disease” (DLPD).
Special testing may be warranted to confirm occupational exposure (such as demonstration of ferruginous bodies in asbestosis from lung biopsies or a hypersensitivity panel for serologic evidence of immune reaction to organic antigens).
Many patients who are referred to advanced lung disease programs for idiopathic lung disease are found to have an underlying systemic rheumatologic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, sys­temic lupus erythematosis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, Sjogren’s disease, or sarcoidosis.
For patients with DPLDs who present with decompensated pulmonary symptoms, a chest CT angiogram can help rule out pul­monary embolism and identify infection, heart failure, or worsening of underlying lung disease. Early bronchoscopy should be considered for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of atypical lung infections.

Chapter
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients must be considered for early referral for lung transplantation, because there is no effective treatment and there is a very high risk of death from respiratory fail­ure. Mean survival is approximately three years.

Introduction

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis of the pulmonary intersti­tium, the microscopic space between alveolar epithelium and capillary endothelium. In 2002, the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) revised the classification of ILDs and introduced the term “diffuse parenchymal lung disease” (DLPD), and separated DLPD into four major categories (Fig. 1).
Each category has distinct clinical, radiographic, and pathologic
characteristics, often presenting significant diagnostic challenges. An evaluation of a patient with DPLD therefore begins with early consulta­tions with expert clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists who are well versed in these entities to determine the most likely diagnosis.

The following is a brief summary of the clinical evaluation of patients
with suspected DPLD and considerations for the diagnosis and manage­ment issues for the hospitalist.

Clinical Evaluation

History
An accurate diagnosis is essential to the appropriate management and prognostication of a DPLD patient. A comprehensive history is a critical component of this assessment, because at the most advanced stages of disease, many entities can be radiographically and pathologically indis­tinguishable from each other.
There are many medical agents that can cause DPLD (see Table 1).
3
Temporally linking exposure to the drug to the development of respiratory symptoms and radiographic findings is helpful in the diagnosis of drug­related DPLD. The inciting agent should be promptly discontinued if this is suspected. A complete updated list of medications that have been impli­cated in pulmonary disease is available at http://pneumotox.com.
