2. • Clear the upper airway of
secretions:
– Mucus, noxious substances,
foreign particles, and infectious
organisms
• It is a complicated process:
– Inspiratory phase
– Forced expiratory effort against
closed glottis
– Opening of the glottis with rapid
expiration(sound)
Cough - pathophysiology

3. • The cough reflex:
– Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV-1) is a capsaicin receptor

• Cough is a vital protective reflex preventing aspiration and
enhancing airway clearance. However, pathologically excessive and
protracted cough is a common and disabling complaint, affecting
perhaps 5–10% of the adult population.
• When severe, it causes a major decrement in the quality of life,
with comorbidities such as incontinence, cough syncope and
dysphonia leading to social isolation, depression and difficulties in
relationships
5. Cough: classification
• Cough is a sudden and repetitively occurring protective reflex,
which helps clear the large breathing passages from fluids,
irritants, foreign particles, and microbes.
• Cough is classified into 3 categories on the basis of its
duration in adults:
– acute (<3 weeks)
– subacute (3-8 weeks) and
– chronic (>8 weeks)

Which cough neuromodulatory agents (pregabalin, gabapentin,
tricyclics and opiates) should be used to treat patients with chronic
cough?
We recommend a trial of low-dose slow-release morphine (5–10
mg twice daily) in adult patients with chronic refractory cough
(strong recommendation, moderate-quality evidence).

2020; 55: 1901136 [https://doi.org/10.1183/ 13993003.01136-2019].
Should anti-asthmatic drugs (anti-inflammatory or bronchodilator
drugs) be used to treat patients with chronic cough?
We suggest a short-term ICS trial (2–4 weeks) in adult patients
with chronic cough
(conditional recommendation, low-quality evidence).

Should FeNO/blood eosinophils be used to predict treatment
response to corticosteroids/ antileukotrienes in chronic cough?
There is a need for convenient and practical tests for predicting anti-
inflammatory treatment responses in patients with chronic cough.
However, there is still a lack of quality evidence.
Placebo-controlled trials are warranted to assess their utility and also
consensus is required on threshold levels in patients with chronic
cough.

30. Efficacy and Safety of Levocloperastine in the Treatment of Dry
Cough: A Prospective Observational Study
• A total of 100 patients were enrolled in the study.
• The mean scores of cough severity, cough frequency and sleep disruption
due to night-time awakening were significantly reduced from baseline to
Day 14 (p<0.0001)
• Levocloperastine was found to be effective and safe in the management of
dry cough.
• A significant reduction in severity scores, frequency of cough and sleep
disruption was reported, with an overall improvement in patient’s QoL

33. CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19)
What’s a Coronavirus?
CORONA
A family of viruses affecting Respiratory Tract
Causing Disease from common cold to Pneumonia.
Usually lives in bats & other wiled animals.
Transmitted to humans directly, or via other animals.
Can also transmit between humans via respiratory droplets,

38. • Cough is classified into acute, sub-acute and chronic cough
• Cough may be treated empirically and may not require aggressive investigations
unless it is characterized by “red flag signs” or persists for > 2 weeks.
• Pulmonary tuberculosis should be excluded if the cough persists for > 2 weeks
after the initial treatment with suggestive signs and symptoms.
• Upper airway cough syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and cough
variant asthma should be diagnosed based on medical history and nasal
examination and treated empirically.
• Spirometry and other specialized tests may be considered
Editor's Notes
Acute cough algorithm for the management of patients ≥ 15 years of age with cough lasting < 3 weeks. Always screen for the presence of red
flags as a clue to a potentially life-threatening condition. Always consider the presence of TB in endemic areas or high-risk populations even if chest
radiographs are normal. Remember to routinely assess cough severity or quality of life before and after treatment and routinely follow patients 4-
6 weeks after initial visit. LRTI ¼ lower respiratory tract infection; PE ¼ pulmonary embolism; UACS ¼ upper airway cough syndrome; URI ¼ upper
respiratory tract infection.

Always screen for the presence of red flags as a clue to a potentially life-threatening condition as well as historical clues for environmental and occupational factors that might be contributing to the cough.

AECB ¼ acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis; GERD ¼ gastroesophageal reflux disease; NAEB ¼ nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis. See

Chronic cough algorithm for the management of patients $ 15 years of age with cough lasting > 8 weeks. Always screen for red flags as a
clue to a potentially life-threatening condition, as well as historical clues for environmental and occupational factors that might be contributing to the
cough. Always evaluate whether sitagliptin as well as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are contributing to the patient’s cough. Always consider
the presence of TB in endemic areas or high-risk populations even if chest radiographs are normal. Be aware that treatment of cough due to GERD
should not be limited to acid suppression. Remember to routinely assess cough severity or quality of life before and after treatment and routinely follow
patients 4 to 6 weeks after the initial visit. Consider referral to a recognized cough clinic for patients with refractory unexplained chronic cough. ACEI ¼
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; A/D ¼ antihistamine/decongestant; BD ¼ bronchodilator; HRCT ¼ high-resolution CT; ICS ¼ inhaled
corticosteroid; LTRA ¼ leukotriene antagonist; PPI ¼ proton pump inhibitor. See Figure 3 and 4 legends for expansion of other abbreviations.
