Abstract
Patients with emphysema often have limited treatment options. Lung volume reduction is an effective treatment to carefully selected patients with emphysema. Most importantly, the primary care physician should refer patients with COPD and refractory dyspnoea and/or with emphysema to departments specialised in respiratory medicine for further treatment and assessment, which is discussed in this review.
