COPD total solution symposium
The prevalence of COPD in 2015 was 13.4% (male, 21.6%; female, 5.8%) in Korea. The prevalence of COPD did not change much, which ranged from 13.1% to 14.6% during the period from 2010 to 2015 (data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). Many COPD patients still had not been diagnosed by physicians and consequently had not been treated appropriately.

Summary
In this Symposium, Dr. Suh will review recent developments in the treatment of COPD with drug treatment (including nebulization) and rehabilitation to improve the patients quality of life, increase their capacity for exercise and ultimately, keep well and out of hospital. In particular he will consider the causes of type II respiratory failure and the evidence base for the use of home noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and HFOT in COPD. He will also review current indications for ambulatory oxygen.
