Filter by:COVID-19 is an emerging pandemic disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). Although the majority of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, some patients develop severe symptoms that can protractedly impair their quality of life and functional capacity. SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) with direct and indirect effects on several systems, especially the musculoskeletal system, in addition to the respiratory system. Some of these symptoms persist for a long period, called Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, directly interfering with the functional capacity and quality of life of these participants. Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation exercises are focused on restoring functional capacity in patients affected by cardiopulmonary diseases. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional effects of a quarterly Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation exercise program for participants with post-COVID-19 syndrome. The secondary objectives will be: To compare the effects of a supervised program of 12 weeks of supervised exercises and a program of self-performed home exercises, guided by an exercise booklet, of the same duration on muscle strength and peripheral resistance; Compare the effects of a 12-week supervised exercise program and a self-performed home exercise program, guided by an exercise booklet, of the same duration on levels of fatigue and dyspnea in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome; Compare the effects of a 12-week supervised exercise program and a self-performed home exercise program, guided by an exercise booklet, of the same duration on health-related quality of life and post-COVID-19 functional status.
In Republic of Korea, it is not easy to practice standard pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) or cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In this study, the investigators will provide newly developed smartphone application to patients with chronic respiratory, cardiac, or geriatric diseases. The investigators want to confirm whether participants, who perform smartphone application based 12-week PR or CR program, present improved exercise capacity, dyspnea symptom, muscle strength, or quality of life.
in this study, the investigators aim to describe the effects of highflow nasal canulae oxygen therapy (HFNC) on respiratory muscle function during exercise in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD) during an endurance test
A number of studies have described low exercise capacity and physical activity in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (non-CF Bronchiectasis), although little research exists on using the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) to evaluate exercise capacity and its most relevant changes after a pulmonary rehabilitation home-based program (PRHP). In addition, few studies have addressed tolerance to exercise and physical activity in severe cases of the disease. Aims: To evaluate the exercise capacity of non-CF BQ patients using CPET and physical activity after a pulmonary rehabilitation home-based program. Methodology: Our study describes a non-pharmacological clinical trial in non-CF BQ patients at the Virgen Macarena University Hospital (Seville, Spain). The patients were randomized into two groups: the control group (who were provided with training instructions) and the intervention group (who took part in a specific pulmonary rehabilitation home-based program).
The study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of a new home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program comprising two distinct phases, the first in which an 8-week respiratory rehabilitation program is carried out the second in which a maintenance pulmonary rehabilitation program is carried out.
The purpose of the study is to prove the clinical superiority of respiratory rehabilitation software "Redpill Breath" and evaluate the clinical improvement effect by 6-minute walk test of the software, compared to the manual rehabilitation management for those who need respiratory rehabilitation(COPD, Asthma, Lung Cancer, etc.)
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of expiratory muscle training (EMT) and incentive spirometry (IS) in addition to conventional pulmonary rehabilitation after colorectal surgery. Twenty-four individuals (13 male) undergoing colorectal surgery were included. They were randomly divided into two groups. In addition to conventional chest physiotherapy, group 1 was performed EMT (n=12), group 2 was performed deep breathing exercises with incentive spirometry (IS) in postoperative period. Respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, levels of movement and independence, and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) were evaluated. Length of stay in hospital (LOS) was recorded.
This study concluded that lung rehabilitation exercise programs can improve the psychological distress, self-efficacy, quality of life, six-minute walk distance, muscle strength, and reduce the number of hospitalizations for patients with advanced lung cancer.
Lung transplantation is an effective therapeutic option in the end-stage of chronic respiratory diseases. Lung transplantation improves lung function in terms of capacity and volume. However, the transplanted patient still suffers from muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. In recent years, respiratory physiotherapy work has intensified in critically ill patients with respiratory muscle weakness and the application of inspiratory muscle training (IMT), which has been shown in several studies to increase inspiratory muscle strength (IMT), improve ventilation and reduce the sensation of shortness of breath. Despite this emerging evidence, inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is not standard practice in most ICUs around the world, nor is it included in a protocolised manner among the components of a pulmonary rehabilitation programme. Given the limited evidence, the investigators propose to conduct this randomised controlled clinical trial in lung transplant recipients. The study will compare two groups of transplanted patients, a control group that will follow the rehabilitation programme and standard medical care and another experimental group that will also perform inspiratory muscle training. This study aims to analyse the effect of IMT on inspiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity and quality of life in lung transplant patients.
The 33-month pregnant patient was followed in the gynecology service with the complaint of shortness of breath after receiving the covid positive diagnosis and was transferred to the intensive care unit due to acute respiratory failure. She was intubated in the intensive care unit and the baby was taken by cesarean section. Pulmonary rehabilitation steps to be applied to the patient with long-term intensive care hospitalization will be examined.
