Breaths 5.4 COPD Classification and Management with the COPD Wheel
30 Oct 2025
Breaths is a new IPCRG initiative designed to enhance primary care providers' capability, confidence, and motivation in delivering high-quality respiratory care. It leverages structured microlearning strategies tailored to the time constraints of primary healthcare professionals.
By the end of this session, you will be able to confirm a COPD diagnosis and classify the patient using the COPD Wheel based on symptom burden and exacerbation history, select the matching inhalation choice and add non-pharmacological interventions.
