Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze changes of the cardiopulmonary system indicators of hospitalized patients with respiratory diseases and underwent physical therapy.
 Materials and methods. The study was performed as a prospective case series study design. The study involved patients hospitalized with pneumonia, exacerbation of COPD and asthma, who had no contraindications to undergoing physical therapy. A total number of patients were 273 persons; 140 of them with pneumonia, 96 persons with exacerbation of COPD, 37 persons with asthma. Conducted surveys, anthropometric studies, clinical tests and instrumental studies.
 Results. COPD patients with acute exacerbation had a lower level of functional status of the cardio-respiratory system than patients with pneumonia or exacerbation of asthma. We found the lowest rates of excursion of the chest, blood saturation, VC, FEV1, PEF and higher than normal inhale rate. In addition, COPD patients did not experience statistically significant improvement during the assessment period in the majority of the analyzed parameters, except excursion of the chest and inhale rate.
 Conclusions. Acute exacerbation of COPD has a significant impact on the health of patients and significantly reduces the functional state of the respiratory system. The hospitalization period is not sufficient for full recovery. The rehabilitation of such patients should continue after discharge from the hospital.

Highlights

  • Introduction exacerbation ofCOPD, and 37 were people with asthma.Often, the causes of hospitalization of adults in the department of pulmonology are pneumonia, Procedure exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchial asthma

  • The study has been carried out as prospective therapy for all these conditions is provided by clinical case series study design

  • CEinhale (p=0.04), CEexhale (p=0.02), APs (p=0.05) improved; in patients with COPD there was an improvement of chest excursion (CE) (p=0.01) and respiratory rate (p=0.04)

Summary

Introduction

COPD, and 37 were people with asthma. The causes of hospitalization of adults in the department of pulmonology are pneumonia, Procedure exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchial asthma. The study has been carried out as prospective therapy for all these conditions is provided by clinical case series study design. The study has been indications and orders at the legislative level in conducted on the basis of the in-patient pulmonary. The completions of treatment department of the clinical hospital in Lviv for the and physical therapy in the in-patient department and period from December 2017 to December 2019. All the patient’s discharge from the hospital do not the patients who took part in the study were familiar always imply a sufficient restoration of the functional with its goals, objectives, and their rights and signed state of the cardio-respiratory system.
