This study reviews classic cases of long-term management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with a focus on analyzing pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological interventions, personalized treatment plans for patients, and strategies for managing acute exacerbations. Through these cases, the article highlights the importance of combining pharmacological therapies, such as triple therapy, and long-term inhalation treatments at different stages of the disease. Additionally, it explores the role of non-pharmacological measures like pulmonary rehabilitation, smoking cessation, and nutritional support in improving patients' quality of life and reducing acute exacerbations. The article also discusses the application of digital health technologies (e.g., remote monitoring) and patient education in long-term management, while introducing potential strategies for enhancing COPD management outcomes through the latest innovative therapies. This study provides practical guidance and recommendations for personalized management and long-term control of the disease in clinical practice.
