Emphysema

Alveoli

Pulmonary rehabilitation is an individualized treatment program that teaches patients with emphysema strategies to increase their quality of life.

Plans may include breathing strategies, energy conservation techniques and nutritional advice. Symptoms such as coughing or wheezing can be treated with medication. The flu can cause serious problems for people with emphysema.

We recommend vaccination during the flu season and treating respiratory infections promptly. Patients who have low levels of oxygen may be given oxygen.
