Detailed Summary
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, according to recent publications of the World Health Organization, its main feature is the response to noxious particles of gases, which trigger an inflammatory response with its sequence secondary to the flow of air, the limitation generated by the ventilation reserve mechanism of insufficiency, dyspnea and dysfunction at the muscular level, these limitations generate a high degree of disability worldwide in the different areas of the people who suffer from it, which it affects their basic performance and their interaction with the environment. The World Health Organization, in a more recent projection, predicted that COPD will increase from its recent classification as the fifth most common cause of mortality to the fourth most common cause by 2030, which would place it behind ischemic cerebrovascular disease, HIV / AIDS and heart disease. More importantly, COPD is a cause that increases chronic disability and is expected to become the fifth most common cause of chronic disability worldwide by 2020. There is great evidence on the benefit of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD, which generates changes among which is tolerance to exercise, dyspnea, control of symptoms and improvement in the quality of life related to health. It should be noted that pulmonary rehabilitation not only includes physical training, but also involves the educational component in relation to healthy habits.
