Pulmonary Rehabilitation
General Goal of Pulmonary Rehabilitation
To improve the quality of life experienced by patients with a disabling pulmonary disease
According to the American Thoracic Society pulmonary rehabilitation has the following two specific objectives:
- to control and alleviate the symptoms and pathophysiological complications of respiratory impairment
- to teach patients how to achieve optimal capability for carrying out their activities of daily living
Recommend reconditioning programs for chronic lung patients to help improve their ability to walk without dyspnea.
Alvin Barach, 1951
Associates published results confirming Barach’s insight into the value of reconditioning.
Pierce, 1962
Demonstrate that the benefits of reconditioning could be achieve on an outpatient basis with minimal supervision
Christie
Work in _______, other investigators have continued to research the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation.
Christie, 1968
At rest, an individual maintains homeostasis by balancing external, internal, and cellular respiration.
Physical Reconditioning
Physical Activity such as exercise, increases energy demands.
Physical Reconditioning
Increase to supply tissues and cells with additional oxygen and eliminate the higher levels of carbon dioxide produced by metabolism.
Ventilation and Circulation
The RQ of carbohydrates
1.0
RQ of protein
0.8
RQ of fat
0.7
Increase in linear fashion as exercise intensity increases
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
In exercise physiology, this point is called
The onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)
