Background to Clinical Scenario
Robert is a 51 year old man who lives with his wife in regional Victoria. He has been admitted to your ward
from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he had a 3 day stay for an acute exacerbation of COPD, caused
by community acquired pneumonia. He required several days of non-invasive ventilation whilst in ICU.
Robert tells you his wife (Jill) was very frightened when he was admitted to ICU, and he doesn’t want ‘to put
her through that anymore’. He would like some help to understand and manage his COPD. Robert said he
was diagnosed with COPD about 18 months ago by his GP, but admits he was sick for ‘a while’ before that.
He is a current smoker, and has smoked for about 40 years. He has unsuccessfully attempted to quit on
more than 5 occasions. Robert worked for many years on his chicken farm, but now finds he becomes
breathless very easily and Robert and Jill have had to hire a farm helper.
