COPD is one of the common chronic airway inflammatory diseases in clinic, which is one of the preventable diseases in clinic. It is a clinical syndrome caused by lung function injury, dyspnea caused by exposure to a large number of toxic particles or gases, and progressive decline of respiratory function. Some research results show that COPD is the main reason for the high mortality and disability rate of people. With the rapid development of social economy and the aggravation of aging, the clinical incidence rate of COPD in patients shows an upward trend. The treatment principle of COPD is to reduce the further impairment of the patient's pulmonary function, reduce the risk of acute attack, and save the patient for rehabilitation. In the rehabilitation period, fatigue scale is commonly used in respiratory rehabilitation of COPD patients, which has a high predictive value for patients' rehabilitation and prognosis. This paper reviews the literature on the application of fatigue scale in respiratory rehabilitation of COPD patients in recent years, and summarizes it as follows.
