Abstract

Pulmonary rehabilitation consists of breathing retraining, respiratory muscle rest, airway secretion elimination, reconditioning exercise, psychosocial support, nutritional support, adequate ventilator support, and patient education. It is usually performed by using the appropriate inspiratory/expiratory muscle aids to alleviate and control the symptoms of respiratory diseases and to prevent respiratory complications. It is important to understand the principles of each technique and apply them properly in delivering pulmonary rehabilitation.
