PR1 Flashcards
Joint statement by the American thoracic society and European respiratory society 2006 – definition of pulmonary rehabilitation
-Evidence based
-Multidisciplinary
-Comprehensive intervention for patients with chronic respiratory disease
-Symptomatic
-Decrease daily life activity
-ID tx of the pt
Pulmonary rehabilitation is designed to
- Reduce symptoms
- Optimize functional status
- Increase participation
- Reduce healthcare cost by stabilizing or reverse and systemic manifestations of the dz
Why do we care about PR?
-ChronicPulmonary disease impact
- 12 million people diagnosed with COPD
- COPD is the third leading cause of death in the US
Third leading cause of death in the US is?
COPD
Demonstrated outcomes
Reduce symptoms, dyspnea, fatigue
- Increase exercise performance
-Increase knowledge of dz and mgmt.
- Increased ability to perform ADLs
- Improve health related quality of life
-Reduce hospitalizations use of medical resources
- Improve psychosocial symptoms, anxiety, depression
-Pt may be able to return to work
Candidates for rehabilitation, PR
Patience with functional limitations affecting quality of life.
COPD
Interstitial disease
Cystic fibrosis
PAH
Bronchiectasis
Asthma
Thoracic cage abnormalities
Each state has his own pulmonary function criteria for reimbursement for admissions to PR program.
Patient selection for PR
Consider for any patient with chronic respiratory disease
Continues to have symptoms
Reduce performance
Decrease health related quality of life despite otherwise optimal medical management
Patient selection, common morbidities which can benefit from PR interventions
Peripheral muscle disease
Cardiac dysfunction
Nutritional abnormalities
Psychosocial maladaption
Patient selection, Benefit
gain regardless of age sex lung function or smoking status
Peripheral muscle weakness is positive predictor of successful outcome
Severe nutrition depletion associated with poor response
Patient selection, selection Criteria
Abnormal pulmonary function test
Symptoms, dyspnea
Reduction in physical activity
Reduction and occupational performance
Reduction in ADLs
Increase in medical resource consumption
Patient selection symptoms and functional limitations become apparent with one or more of the following objective abnormalities
FEV1 < 80% predicted
FEV1% < 70% predicted
DLCO adjusted for Hb <OR = to 65% predicted
Exercise testing demonstrated hypoxemia < OR = 90%, Ventilatory limitation = OR > 0.8, or a raising ratio of dead space to tidal volume.
