| Spanish abstract | asistido a rehabilitación pulmonar aunque 56% utilizaba oxígeno domiciliario y 93% presentaba algún grado de disnea. Conclusiones: La implementación de la terapia no farmacológica y de educación está lejos de las recomendaciones de la GOLD, sea por influencia del sistema de salud, trámites administrativos, accesibilidad, uso de guías, poca remisión médica o la carga para los profesionales. Es necesario establecer un plan de mejoramiento con cobertura efectiva para optimizar la atención y la calidad de vida de las personas con EPOC |
| English abstract | they had been educated about their disease by a physician, 47% used inhaled bronchodilators, 48% of whom had difficulties to obtain them. Although 56% of all patients were using home oxygen therapy, and 93% suffered some degree of dyspnea, only one patient had undergone pulmonary rehabilitation. Conclusions: Our study revealed that non pharmacological therapy and patient education do not meet GOLD recommendations at a Colombian public hospital; this is due, in part, to inadequacies of the public health system and accessibility to it, lack of clinical guidelines, scant medical referral and heavy patients load. It is necessary to implement an improvement plan that will enhance COPD patient treatment and expand heath care professionals participation in it |
