Capitolo 7 : Fibrosi cistica.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multisystemic disease, with pulmonary disease being the major cause of morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is mandatory and should be started at diagnosis. The main goal is to maintain adequate clearance of bronchial secretions, prevent infections and exacerbations, and improve adherence. Airway clearance, exercise training, and self-management education are the cornerstones of PR interventions in CF patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
