The effect of incentive spirometry with early pulmonary rehabilitation on hospital stay of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation
The usage of IS in addition to early PR in patients with AECOPD reduced LOS by approximately 1 day compared to PR alone. Furthermore, no significant signs of intolerance were observed, suggesting that IS was well-tolerated, similar to PR alone.
