Abstract

If one considers the most widespread pulmonary diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deserves the first place on the list. COPD is world-wide the fourth most common cause of death and shows an increasing rate of incidence both in industrialized and in developing countries. Thus, for an anaesthesi-ologist an understanding of this disease is important now and probably in the future as well.
