  • #500: COPD Update with Cyrus Askin

    #500: COPD Update with Cyrus Askin
    Oct 6 2025
    GOLD Updates, Novel Treatments, and Managing Comorbidities in COPD Care

    Level up your COPD care with practical, evidence-based strategies. Learn how to confirm airflow obstruction with spirometry (and use LLN/Z-scores thoughtfully), stage patients with the A/B/E framework, and build treatment around long-acting bronchodilation—adding ICS selectively based on exacerbations and eosinophils. We’ll highlight the nonpharmacologic moves that change outcomes (smoking cessation, vaccination, pulmonary rehab, oxygen when indicated), when to reach for add-ons (azithromycin, roflumilast), how to approach chronic hypercapnia with home NIV, and what’s new (hello, ensifentrine). Pulmonologist and longtime Curbsiders member Dr. Cyrus Askin (@Askins_Razor ) returns to share real-world pearls for diagnosing, treating, and managing comorbidities in COPD.
