On the Rationality of the Economic Actors, studies have found that even amongst patients with advanced COPD, smoking cessation is followed by a reduction in the annual loss of lung function [3]. It is therefore clear that smoking prevention and cessation are central to prevention and treatment of COPD.

On the Rationality of the Economic Actors,it is only relatively recently that simpler and reliable methods of assessing these variables have been developed. Surrogate end points such as changes in FEV. or PEF after active bronchodilator have been reported in most clinical trials, usually over quite short periods of time and these may underestimate the potential benefit of treatment.

Ventilatory Control and Dyspnea,en during acute exacerbations of COPD were soon recognized [1] and led Campbell to apply new technologies to first identify the physiologic problem (hypercapnia), then hypothesize a mechanism for its production (reduced hypercapnic ventilatory drive) and finally suggest a practical solution (low flow oxgyen treatment by Venturi mask) [2].

Clinical and Laboratory Assessment,hese signs may be undramatic, and are not always present. This chapter will review the clinical and laboratory findings which favor a diagnosis of COPD, consider some of its different clinical presentations and look at the practical aspects of achieving a diagnostic formulation on which treatment can be based.
