Book Acute Effect of Noninvasive Ventilatory Support on Maximum Exercise Capacity in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease  COPD

Download or read book Acute Effect of Noninvasive Ventilatory Support on Maximum Exercise Capacity in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD written by Ana Maria Moga and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIVS) has been used as an adjunct to exercise. However, the extent to which NIVS improves exercise tolerance is highly variable. To date, no studies have examined the effect of NIVS on maximal exercise capacity when applied during a single exercise test. Objective: To evaluate the acute effect of BiPAP (Vision, Respironics), compared to no assist, on maximum exercise capacity in individuals with COPD. Methods: A randomized crossover design was used. Ten stable COPD patients (FEV1 53 ± % pred) performed three symptom-limited incremental exercise tests on a cycle ergometer while breathing through a mouthpiece, with either: i) without pressure support PS (ØPS), ii) PS of 0 cm H2O (PS0; IPAP & EPAP 4 cm H2O), or iii) 10 cm H2O (PS10; IPAP 14 & EPAP 4 cm H2O) of assist on separate days. Exercise workload (WLmax), dyspnea and leg effort (Borg), end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), breathing pattern, O2 uptake (VO2) and CO2 ...

Book The Effects of Exercise Training and Acute Exacerbations on Muscle Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Download or read book The Effects of Exercise Training and Acute Exacerbations on Muscle Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease written by Martijn A. Spruit and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Clinically, it is characterized by complaints of cough, sputum production, and/or dyspnoea, and diagnosed by a significantly reduced Tiffeneau index. It was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 1996, exceeded only by heart attacks, cancers and stroke. Hence, COPD is a major global health problem and its burden on society is growing rapidly. For these reasons, COPD was chosen as a study population in the present project.

Book Acute Affective and Physiological Response to Different Exercise training Protocols in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease  COPD

Download or read book Acute Affective and Physiological Response to Different Exercise training Protocols in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD written by Amanda Katy Rizk and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) guidelines advocate high-intensity exercise training for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet this approach has been shown to be unachievable in a large proportion of patients. Alternative approaches, such as training at the ventilatory threshold, have been proposed as more tolerable, less unpleasant, and thus possibly easier to comply with for this clientele. This assumption needs to be verified. The purpose of the present study was to compare, in COPD patients, the acute affective and physiological response to high-intensity training (CT80) versus training at the ventilatory threshold (CTVT). Thirteen subjects were randomly assigned to perform 40 minutes (including warm-up and cool-down) of either high-intensity exercise training at 80% of peak work rate (CT80) or training at the ventilatory threshold (CTVT) on a cycle ergometer. Affective response to the exercise bout was measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and the Global Vigor and Affect Instrument (GVA). Physiological response to the same bout was measured breath by breath with a portable metabolic system. Repeated-measures general linear models and mixed models were conducted using SAS. Positive affect scores from the PANAS increased from pre-, to end-, to post-exercise (time effect) (F=17.56, p=0.0005), but this increase was significant for the CTVT group only (time by intervention interaction) (F=5.85, p=0.02). No significant time or interaction effect was observed for global affect or global vigor from the GVA. In addition, no significant difference in physiological response was observed between CT80 and CTVT. Results from this pilot study suggest that affect improves after an exercise-training bout in COPD patients, especially when the protocol used is CTVT. The acute physiological and symptomatic response to CT80 and CTVT appears to be similar. Keywords: COPD, affective response, physiological response, exercise training.

Book Heart and Lung Exercise Adaptation in COPD and CHF

Download or read book Heart and Lung Exercise Adaptation in COPD and CHF written by Jacinthe Baril and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic heart failure (CHF) patients show a marked reduction in exercise capacity. While inadequate gas exchange and resulting hypoxemia appears as the primary factor in COPD, an impaired cardiac output is the predominant explanation for the reduced oxygen delivery in CHF. However, the extent of the contributions of other systemic factors remains unclear. In light of the potential interactions between cardiac output (Qc) and pulmonary hyperinflation, there is surprisingly little data thus far on ventilatory constraints in CHF and on the role of blood flow delivery in COPD which may further limit the exercise capacity. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare the slope of the Qc versus oxygen uptake (VO2) response through several submaximal cycling loads in patients with moderately severe COPD and with that of moderate to severe CHF patients as well as age-matched healthy control subjects (CTRL). Also examined was the possibility that ventilatory constraints such as dynamic hyperinflation contribute to an abnormal stroke volume response in both diseases.

Book The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care

Download or read book The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care written by Marco Tubaro and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care is the official textbook of the Acute Cardiovascular Care Association (ACVC) of the ESC. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of premature death worldwide and a cause of loss of disability-adjusted life years. For most types of CVD early diagnosis and intervention are independent drivers of patient outcome. Clinicians must be properly trained and centres appropriately equipped in order to deal with these critically ill cardiac patients. This new updated edition of the textbook continues to comprehensively approach all the different issues relating to intensive and acute cardiovascular care and addresses all those involved in intensive and acute cardiac care, not only cardiologists but also critical care specialists, emergency physicians and healthcare professionals. The chapters cover the various acute cardiovascular diseases that need high quality intensive treatment as well as organisational issues, cooperation among professionals, and interaction with other specialities in medicine. SECTION 1 focusses on the definition, structure, organisation and function of ICCU's, ethical issues and quality of care. SECTION 2 addresses the pre-hospital and immediate in-hospital (ED) emergency cardiac care. SECTIONS 3-5 discuss patient monitoring, diagnosis and specific procedures. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), and serious arrhythmias form SECTIONS 6-8. The main other cardiovascular acute conditions are grouped in SECTION 9. Finally SECTION 10 is dedicated to the many concomitant acute non-cardiovascular conditions that contribute to the patients' case mix in ICCU. This edition includes new chapters such as low cardiac output states and cardiogenic shock, and pacemaker and ICDs: troubleshooting and chapters have been extensively revised. Purchasers of the print edition will also receive an access code to access the online version of the textbook which includes additional figures, tables, and videos to better to better illustrate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and procedures in IACC. The third edition of the ESC Textbook of Intensive and Acute Cardiovascular Care will establish a common basis of knowledge and a uniform and improved quality of care across the field.
