摘要
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD/pulmonary emphysema) is a common disease with a high incidence and a medico-economical impact which should not be underestimated. Pathophysiologically it is defined as expiratory obstruction due to increased airway resistance. The extensive comorbidity of COPD patients as well as the impairment of the respiratory system make COPD a key challenge for anesthesiologists. Besides basic drug therapy, differentiated ventilation support represents a hallmark of perioperative management. This article includes the current recommendations of the German national care guidelines for COPD as well as the COPD guidelines of the American Thoracic Society.
