Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate whether the early introduction of maintenance
bronchodilator therapy during an acute symptomatic episode of the disease shows benefits on
the recovery of symptoms. It also represents an opportunity to identify COPD patients earlier
in their disease state and start maintenance therapy, if appropriate.
