Abstract
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) often has a devastating impact on a patient's social and physical well-being. Pulmonary rehabilitation can help patients with COLD to optimize their quality of life. It can be used successfully by means of the resources available in a small community hospital. This article summarizes one approach to rehabilitation for COLD patients and deals with the results and the benefits to the patients and their families. It also considers the advantages for the medical staff and the community.Entities:
