  • Title: Rehabilitation for the home care patient with COPD.
    Author: Cigna JA, Turner-Cigna LM.
    Journal: Home Healthc Nurse; 2005 Sep; 23(9):578-84; quiz 585-6. PubMed ID: 16160553.
    Abstract:
    Assessment techniques and treatment strategies, such as medical management, oxygen management, chest physical therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation, for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are discussed. Clinically appropriate, evidence-based rehabilitation programs for home care may help to reduce care costs, reduce the impact of this chronic disease on patients with COPD, and prevent emergent care and rehospitalization.
