This reference gives programme guidelines on pulmonary rehabilitation. Established by the 'American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation' (AACVPR), these guidelines apply to programmes in rural, community, urban, and university facility settings. This book is a useful reference for pulmonary rehabilitation specialists and students, pulmonary rehabilitation programme directors, physicians, and educators. These guidelines emphasise the rehabilitative care needs of the individual patient; assist in establishing specific goals for each patient; provide for regular evaluation of both patient performance and programme components; and emphasise a broad view of indications for selecting patients for programme participation. They also determine essential components of pulmonary rehabilitation team assessment, patient training, exercise, psychosocial intervention, and follow-up; focus on making pulmonary rehabilitation more accessible to patients through earlier screening and detection of lung disease; and more.
