Yet, such clinical management requires, to begin with, a high level of suspicion and appropriate confirmation of diagnosis by spirometry. Initial treatment should focus on smoking abstinence and use of one or two long-acting bronchodilators. Referral to specialized pulmonary care is advised if response to treatment is not satisfactory.
