At the UMCG, patients with COPD can be treated with valve treatment. Patients who qualify for this treatment are admitted to the hospital for several days. During this admission, some examinations and conversations take place in preparation. Also on the day of the treatments, some measurements are taken, which are important to determine whether the procedure can actually take place.

In this Divi, patients are explained the admission process and preparations for surgery. As a result, they know what to expect and can also prepare properly for the procedure.
