In this question, we are not given specific information about the patient, Debbie O'Connor. The only thing that we know about her is that she presents COPD. Therefore, what we can do is focus on this and talk about the most common treatment for this condition.

COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is a chronic inflammatory lung disease which can cause obstructed airflow from the lungs. Some of the symptoms include difficulty breathing, cough, mucus production and wheezing. This disease is strongly associated with smokers.

Treatment centers on quitting smoking. This usually brings significant relief to patients. However, certain medications can also be used. Doctors will use medications such as bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, combination inhalers, oral steroids, phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors, theophylline and various antibiotics.
