Pay attention to the pulmonary rehabilitation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Post-exercising tachypnea is the main manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Pulmonary rehabilitation,which is one of non-pharmacotherapy of COPD,can relieve dyspnea,improve exercise tolerance and health-related quality of life.At present,although the pulmonary rehabilitation is developing in China,there is a lack of more emphasis,recognition and unbalance development.Most grass-roots hospitals have not carried out the treatment.Now,there is no unified definition about the prescription of pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patients.More studies are warranted to standardize the formulation and implementation of the pulmonary rehabilitation program.Therefore,we mainly demonstrate the pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD including assessments and trainings,in order to pay more attention to it.
