Brief Summary

Pulmonary rehabilitation is well established as a treatment in COPD. After exacerbations of COPD, rehabilitation is associated with reduced frequency of exacerbations and improved exercise capacity. No data are available in bronchiectasis. This study will randomly assign patients with bronchiectasis exacerbations to pulmonary rehabilitation or standard care. The hypothesis is that exercise capacity will be improved by pulmonary rehabilitation at 8 weeks.
