Abstract:
Comprehensive management of asthma includes proper use of medication adjustments in patient lifestyle, exercise conditioning, and patient education to maximize self-management capabilities. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs have used these strategies successfully to improve the functional status and reduce the health care costs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Adapting these programs to the asthmatic population is an important and cost-effective goal.
