“. . .it started with a cough’ ‘. . . ‘I was getting a bit breathless going upstairs’ being typical. From there on, the journey to diagnosis was variable, usually causing anxiety and frustration. Participants described a lengthy delay from being treated in primary care initially for asthma, COPD or recurrent chest infections before being referred to a local chest physician”

Why do a biopsy?

  • Establishment of a firm clinicopathologic diagnosis
  • More informed decisions about therapy
  • Potentially serious risks and side effects (treatment)
  • Detection of fibrotic processes related to specific exposures:
  • Important compensation implications for the patient
  • Important public health consequences for the community (asbestosis)

  • Improvement in walk distance
  • Improvement in symptoms or quality of life
  • Develop coping strategies

Symptom Focused Therapy

  • Chronic cough (GERD ?)

Palliative Care

  • With advancing disease, involvement of palliative-

care physicians and end-of-life planning should be discussed in the outpatient setting

  • Much less used by those with chronic lung diseases
  • Symptom- centered management an important and

necessary treatment priority

Palliative Care

  • Respects the needs, wishes, values, and goals of the patient and the

patient’s family

  • Focuses on reducing symptoms
  • Providing comfort to patients
  • Specific goals:
  • Relief from physical and emotional suffering
  • Consideration for psychological and spiritual support for patients and

caregivers

Lung transplantation

  • Improve quality of life and prolong survival
  • 5 year survival rate post-transplantation of about 50%
  • Heterogeneity of the disease  Optimum timing of referral ?
  • Many patients are referred too late in the course of their disease

Lung transplantation

  • Timing of referral:
  • Histopathologic or radiographic evidence of usual interstitial

pneumonitis(UIP)or fibrosing non-specific interstitial pneumonitis(NSIP),regardless of lung function

  • Abnormal lung function:
  • FVC <80%
  • DLCO < 40%
  • Any dyspnea or functional limitation attributable to lung disease
  • Any oxygen requirement, even if only during exertion
