Airway clearance techniques for acute exacerbations of COPD vary greatly across countries. Clear guidelines and decision-making factors are lacking, highlighting the crucial need for dedicated research. William Poncin, Christine Schrøder et al👏 ERS_physios ERS_Assembly9 ACPRC

💭 Can home-based respiratory rehabilitation improve recovery from COPD exacerbations without hospitalization? 💡 A 3-week program proved safe, meaningful, and more effective than medication alone, improving symptoms, functionality, and health status. 🔗thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

I’ve spent the last four weeks at Universidade Aveiro, working and learning with Ana Oliveira (@wha7tsername), Alda Marques, and the amazing researchers at Lab3R. Huge thanks to Ana for the opportunity. It was such a rewarding experience! Also, great to see you, Joana Cruz

What a honour to testify RESPIRA-Portuguese chronic respiratory disease association empowering our patients and carers Lab3R. Thank you so much to all. Real heros these patients and carers!!!! Thank you RESPIRA!

💭Can 1-to-1 coaching boost physical activity in #COPD? Our systematic review say YES! ✅+800 steps/day vs. usual care 🔑 Best results with goal-setting + remote coaching (12 wks)🛡️86% adherence, zero safety risks⚠️ But limited impact on mood/QoL scores🔗pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40673868/

💭What is the impact of using different criteria to classify patients’ functional capacity? ✅ Using 80% of predicted value or healthy population's 10th percentile shows most consistent results for detecting impairments. 🔗 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
