Pulmonary Rehabilitation at the Time of the COPD Exacerbation.
Clin Chest Med. 2014 Jun;35(2):391-398

Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is associated with improvements in exercise capacity, health related quality of life, psychological symptoms and response to utilization. Acute exacerbations threaten these improvements. An awareness of the clinical sequelae of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease enables approaches, such as early post exacerbation rehabilitation to mitigate its negative effects.
