Exactly what is an acute exacerbation of COPD, are there any criteria or symptoms that qualify as an exacerbation requiring systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics?
and what would be the initial step in managing a patient with "acute exacerbation"

I think the best initial step is O2 supplementation, but very careful because it may lead to decrease in respiratory rate.
