Enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica

Abstract

Resumen EPOC es un trastorno prevalente caracterizado, desde el punto de vista clínico, por una obstrucción respiratoria crónica con síntomas persistentes, que puede empeorar de forma aguda en episodios conocidos como exacerbaciones. El principal factor de riesgo es el tabaco, así que dejar de fumar es fundamental. Su tratamiento se basa en la administración de fármacos por vía inhalatoria, fundamentalmente broncodilatadores y, en casos concretos, corticoides. Como el trastorno es heterogéneo, las principales guías de manejo de la enfermedad recomiendan individualizarlo según el grado de obstrucción, la gravedad de los síntomas y el historial de exacerbaciones. Medidas no farmacológicas, como la vacunación, la rehabilitación pulmonar y la oxigenoterapia también han demostrado su utilidad. Frecuentemente, asocia comorbilidades respiratorias, cardiometabólicas o de la esfera afectiva, que incrementan su gravedad y que el médico o la médica de familia deberá manejar para controlar adecuadamente la enfermedad.
