Filter by:110 COPD patients who were participated in the PR program were included in the study. Resting Heart Rate , pulmonary functions, functional capacity, perception of dyspnea, quality of life and psychological symptoms compared before and after PR.
Using weight training with virtual reality can help after discharge patients of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which maintained their quality of life, and improved their exercise capacity, pulmonary function, readmission condition.
The video-delivered pulmonary rehabilitation(PR) program is more convenience for COPD patient to carry out home-based PR. Also, the intervention will improve cardiopulmonary functions, QoL, and physical activity.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world and surgical resection remains the gold standard curative treatment in early stage non-small cell lung cancer. However, surgery itself is the direct cause of pulmonary function impairment, which dramatically reduces patients tolerance to exercise and their quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) complements surgical treatment and improves patients' exercise and functional capacity, decreases dyspnea, improves health status. Our aim is to examine the effectiveness of PR applied after lung resection in patients with lung cancer, 2- To determine whether the respiratory exercise training given to patients who could not participate in the PR program is effective.
As a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is assumed that the number of patients with COVID-19-related disabilities will increase significantly. Patients with mild, severe, and critical forms of the disease show long-term sequelae in different systems (respiratory, muscular, psychological, cognitive etc.). Persistent dyspnea is a frequently described symptom after the acute phase of the disease. Coupled with reduced oxygen saturation, an increased risk of developing lung fibrosis has been observed. Specialized rehabilitation medicine (e.g. pulmonary rehabilitation) might counteract these long-term consequences and therefore seems to be a promising approach to treat long-term COVID-19 consequences. Further, there is scarce evidence about COVID-19 specific rehabilitation contents. It was suggested to use treatment regimes in analogy to patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. There is evidence that pulmonary rehabilitation improves physical performance, quality of life and reduces anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other chronic respiratory diseases. Since impairments related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis also play an important role in COVID-19, the aim of this study is to evaluate the short and medium-term effects of a standardized 3-week pulmonary rehabilitation program. The results will be analyzed within the two cohorts (mild/moderate and severe/critical COVID 19) as well as between the two cohorts for the primary outcome. Furthermore, the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation will be compared with a retrospective cohort of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The aim of the study is to investigate the potential effects of face-to-face supervised tele-rehabilitation to home exercise program on walking speed, handgrip strength, muscle endurance, quality of life, physical activity level and perceived respiratory disability in COVID-19 patients who hospitalized in ICU due to ARDS and discharged from hospital.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the world and our country. The prevalence of Heart Failure (HF) is 1-2% in the adult population in developed countries, up to 10% among people 70 years of age. Concerning COPD, it is estimated that by 2030 will be the third leading cause of death in the world; the prevalence in Mexico is 18.4%. Also, according to INEGI data, it is the 5th cause of death in people over 65. 50% of patients with COPD die of cardiovascular causes, and they are at higher risk of developing HF, hospital readmissions, and death. Subjects with HF and COPD concomitant have alterations such as; systemic inflammation, loss of muscle mass and strength of both skeletal and respiratory muscles, reduced tolerance to exercise, and lung function, which has an important impact on clinical status, quality of life and prognosis. The objective of nutritional treatment in HF is to reduce heart overload and reduce cardiovascular risk. On the other hand, in COPD, it is to improve lung function. However, this is not enough to maintain the protein reserves of patients due to previously affected factors. Therefore, it is vitally essential to contemplate the supplementation with amino acids that prevent and delay the loss of protein reserves, as well as the delay in clinical status. The β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of leucine, with an anticatabolic and anabolic effect. HMB improves the synthesis of proteins, muscle mass, strength, and muscle functionality. Citrulline has been associated with increased muscle mass, VO2, and exercise tolerance. On the other hand, pulmonary rehabilitation (RP) has improved exercise tolerance, mass, and strength of skeletal and respiratory muscles, quality of life, reduction of hospitalizations, and mortality. However, in concomitant HF and COPD, there are no guidelines that specify the type of RP or if there is a synergistic effect with nutritional supplementation and its impact on clinical status.
Urinary incontinence is a frequent chronic condition in general population. It is even more frequent in people with chronic respiratory disease due to several factors, including but not limited to frequent cough. Urinary incontinence may be more frequent during exercise so that it may contribute to the general deconditioning associated with chronic respiratory disease. Although pulmonary rehabilitation is a cornerstone in the management of people with chronic respiratory disease to break this spiral of worsening dyspnea, little is known about the prevalence of urinary incontinence among those people referred for pulmonary rehabilitation nor about its impact on the effects of the program.
The noval coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) would cause physical and psychological dysfunctions in infected patients. We expect that an intelligence-based remote pulmonary rehabilitation scheme could improve patients' health status after hospital discharge. The intelligence-based remote pulmonary rehabilitation program is designed in a real-world and prospective manner, aiming to evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation among 200 patients in the epicenter of China (Wuhan City) according to their varied adherence. An eight-week rehabilitation scheme, including two weeks for physicians and physiotherapists remotely guided training, and six weeks for patient self-management, will be addressed. The primary outcome of current study is six-minute walking distance and lung function, and secondly respiratory muscle strength, physical fitness assessment, symptoms and quality of life, etc. will also be assessed. Recruited patients will be followed up at week 2, 4, 8 after enrollment and at month 1, 3, 6, 12 after the rehabilitation training completed, respectively. The study has been approved by the ethics committee of China-Japan Friendship Hospital and three participating centers in Wuhan City.
The data of patients undergoing bronchoscopic volume reduction procedure will be analyzed retrospectively. Patients will be divided into two groups as patients with and without Pulmonary Rehabilitation before the procedure, and changes in functional levels of patients will be compared.
