ATS guidelines recommend that every patient with stable COPD receive either in-person or virtual pulmonary rehab.
“For adults with stable chronic respiratory disease, we recommend offering the choice of center-based pulmonary rehabilitation or tele-rehabilitation (strong recommendation, moderate-quality evidence).”
