The benefits added to the respiratory physiotherapy and physical activity have been evidenced previously in the treatment of COPD. This justify the need of a short physiotherapy intervention program regarding to the hospital stay in exacerbation of COPD and a follow-up after the hospital stay.
4% of europeans have been reported to have medical intervention caused by respiratory exacerbation. 20% of these patients are patients with COPD. The mortality of COPD exacerbation is about 14% and 30% if mechanical ventilation is needed.
