Introduction: Complete resection of aspergilloma in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), may has several health problem after surgery berupa sesak napas, batuk yang tidak efektif. Methods: A case presentation of 45 years old woman, after lobectomy on right upper of lung due to aspergilloma, with history of cough and haemoptysis for 3 months. Pulmonary Rehabilitation were breathing retraining exercise (BE), mobilization technique (MT), chest mobility exercise (CM), active cycle breathing technique (ACBT), postural correction exercise (PC) for three weeks. Results: There were dyspnea, peak flow rate (PFR:60-70-60), peak cough flow (PCF: 70-90-60 L/m), and abnormal chest expansion (CE: 2.5 – 3 – 2) cm. After three weeks of Pulmonary Rehabilitation, there were no dyspnea, increased the PCF: 193L/m, and CE: 2.5-4 -3. Conclusion: Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs for three weeks were relieved dyspnea, increased cough capacity and CE.

To systematize strategies that may support patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to maintain the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation over time. This systematic literature review was conducted, and the evidence was electronically searched in the Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO databases. This review included randomized controlled clinical trials, published until September 2019, that addressed components of an unsupervised home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program, maintenance strategies following outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programs, as well as data on outcomes for quality of life, exercise performance, and dyspnea. A final sample of 5 articles was obtained from a total of 1693 studies. Data for final synthesis were grouped into 2 categories: components of unsupervised home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programs and maintenance strategies. An unsupervised home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program should consist of an educational component, an endurance training component, and a strength training component. When patients are transferred to the home environment, it is important to include more functional exercises specifically adapted to the patient’s condition, goals, and needs.
