Descompensaciones respiratorias en la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica
G. Jébrak,M. Aubier +1 more
TL;DR: La utilización razonada de antibióticos, broncodilatadores en dosis altas, corticoides, oxígeno and ventilación asistida ha mejorado su pronóstico, que sigue siendo mediocre cuando la descompensación se superpone a una EPOC evolucionada.

Acute Exacerbations of COPD: Aetiology and Antibiotic Resistance
Giuseppe Nicoletti,Roberto Mattina,Stefania Stefani +2 more

TL;DR: Patients who fall under the umbrella of the clinical definition of chronic bronchitis form a heterogeneous group due to the range of severity of the condition, its common association with airflow obstruction and emphysema, and a variable susceptibility to infective exacerbations.

Bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
TL;DR: The bacterial flora in COPD varies with disease severity as Gram-negative organisms, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa are more commonly detected in patients with more severe airflow obstruction in both stable COPD and in exacerbations.

Les infections au cours des bronchopneumopathies obstructives
TL;DR: Infection plays an important role in COPD, particularly during exacerbations, and the role of atypical pathogens like Chlamydia pneumoniae may be underestimated.

TL;DR: Values below this suggest that further studies, such as split func-tion assessment by quantitative lung scintigraphy and exercisetesting, are warranted, and that all elective surgery Prophylaxis against deep venous throm-bosis should be given before most procedures that will require postoperative bed rest or significantly reduce mobility.

TL;DR: There was a significant benefit associated with antibiotic and Peak flow recovered more rapidly with antibiotic treatment than with placebo, and side effects were uncommon and did not differ between antibiotic and placebo.

TL;DR: Severe or fatal obstructive lung disease could be prevented by screening smokers' lung function in early middle age if those with reduced function could be induced to stop smoking.

Bacterial infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : a study of stable and exacerbated outpatients using the protected specimen brush
TL;DR: The lower airways of asymptomatic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients can be colonized by bacteria, mainly Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, but the role of lower airway bacteria in stable and exacerbated COPD has not been well defined.
