          Abstract

          La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica es una entidad altamente prevalente en nuestro país a consecuencia del aumento del hábito de fumar y de la expectativa de vida. En los países de nuestro entorno ocupa el cuarto lugar como causa de muerte y su incidencia va en aumento. Su exacerbación aguda puede deberse a muy diferentes motivos, y supone una consulta frecuente tanto en el ámbito de la atención primaria como hospitalaria. En el presente trabajo se revisa el tratamiento actual de la exacerbación aguda, en la que hay que considerar obligatorios, el oxígeno en concentración adecuada, los broncodilatadores, los corticoides y los antibióticos.

          Translated abstract

          In our country, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a highly prevalent entity as a result of the increase of smoking and of life expectancy. In our geographical area, it is the fourth cause of death and its incidence is growing. Its acute exacerbation may be caused by very different reasons, and it should be frequently consulted, both at the primary care and hospital level. In this paper, the current treatment of acute exacerbation is reviewed. A proper oxygen concentration, bronchodilators, corticoids, and antibiotics should be considered as compulsory for this condition.
