Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Females With Acute Exacerbation of COPD Induced by Biomass Fuel Smoke

COPD represents an important public health challenge that is both preventable and treatable. GOLD is committed to improving the health of people at risk of and with COPD, wherever they happen to have been born, and wishes to do its bit to help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases - including COPD - by one third by 2030. GOLD aims in stable COPD to relieve symptoms, improve exercise tolerance and improve health status. Non-pharmacological interventions for those high-risk groups of patients, studies of intervention strategies both during inpatient stay and shortly after discharge have been undertaken, to decrease readmission rates and improve QOL, including disease-specific self-management, pulmonary rehabilitation, and early medical follow-up.Seeking for allow cost way to alleviate patients' symptoms in order to increase independence and QOL.

participants diagnosed with shortness of breath or dyspnea that was not caused by heart disease, pneumothorax, or pulmonary oedema

Exclusion criteria

Systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg.
Participants with unstable psychological status, hemoptysis, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema.

Treatment and study plan

Intervention 1 → Arm 1 (pulmonary rehabilitation group).

Other

Arm1: pulmonary rehabilitation group participants will perform physical therapy program and receive standardized pulmonary rehabilitation.

Intervention(s): pulmonary rehabiliation program

Primary outcomes
