Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important public health problem that manifests with exacerbations and causes serious mortality and morbidity in both developed and developing countries. COPD exacerbations usually present to emergency departments, where these patients are diagnosed and treated. Therefore, the Emergency Medicine Association of Turkey and the Turkish Thoracic Society jointly wanted to implement a guideline that evaluates the management of COPD exacerbations according to the current literature and provides evidence-based recommendations. In the management of COPD exacerbations, we aim to support the decision-making process of clinicians dealing with these patients in the emergency setting.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）是一个重要的公共卫生问题，在发达国家和发展中国家都会出现病情加重的情况，并导致严重的死亡率和发病率。COPD急性加重通常在急诊科就诊，这些患者在那里得到诊断和治疗。因此，土耳其急诊医学协会和土耳其胸科学会联合希望实施一项指南，该指南根据当前文献评估COPD急性加重的管理，并提供基于证据的建议。在COPD急性加重的管理中，我们旨在支持在急诊环境中处理这些患者的临床医生的决策过程。
