Program for severe COPD after a hospital breathing flare-up
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
