Respiratory physiotherapy is important and precious in our days. It can help patients with respiratory problems and infections, so that we have a smooth and better pulmonary operation. Concretely, it has an important role in the obstruent deseases, which are the chronia bronchitis and the pulmonary emphysema. Chronia obstruent lung deficiency constitutes an enormous problem of health that is expected to constitute the 3rd more frequent cause of death in 2020. The CHAP constituted the 6th cause of death in 1990. COPD today, is the 4th cause of death worldwide and the 5th cause of infirmity. The 50% of patients with COPD are <65old. Patients today are estimated in the 450-500.000.000 and annually have 3.000.000 deaths, worldwide. The world repercussion of COPD in the general population is calculated in the 10% of >40 old. The choice of subject of final became consciously due to my interest for the obstruent deseases and moreover for that respiratory physiotherapy offers important improvement in this deseases. I would want to deeply thank , my professor, Ms. Alexandra Christara – Papadopoulou for her precious help.I would want to deeply thank, my sister, Anastasia, for her precious help for the purposes of my work, too.
