[Staged medical rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis]. / Etapnaia meditsinskaia reabilitatsiia bol'nykh khronicheskim obstruktivnym bronkhitom.

ABSTRACT

The author believes that adequate rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) can be achieved only under staged approach, i.e. cooperation of outpatient, inpatient and sanatorium treatments. Each of the stages is characterized. This three-stage rehabilitation improves the patient's mobility due to higher physical performance and tolerance to dyspnea.
