Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. In many cases, COPD can be considered a disability. Social welfare services for respiratory-disabled persons in Korea are offered by respiratory impairment. The severity of respiratory impairment is determined by 3 clinical parameters; dyspnea, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and arterial oxygen tension. Home oxygen therapy is the home administration of oxygen at concentrations greater than the ambient air and the cost of long term oxygen therapy is covered by national health insurance system since 2006. Electric wheelchair and scooter are also provided as a social welfare services but ambulatory oxygen delivery systems and home ventilator service is not covered by health insurance system now.
