Pulmonary rehabilitation has gradually become the "gold standard" for patients with severe lung disease, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Because some newer therapeutic strategies, such as lung volume reduction surgery and lung transplantation, require well-conditioned patients, pulmonary rehabilitation is now considered essential for many patients formerly deemed untreatable. In this article, Dr Celli reviews the basic goals, components, and benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases.
肺康复已逐渐成为重症肺病患者,尤其是慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者的“金标准”。由于一些更新的治疗策略,如肺减容手术和肺移植,需要患者具备良好的身体状况,因此肺康复现在被认为对许多以前被视为无法治疗的患者至关重要。在本文中,塞利博士回顾了COPD和其他慢性呼吸道疾病肺康复的基本目标、组成部分和益处。
