ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of early intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation management in emergency department-ward linkage under multi-disciplinary team (MDT) mode in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods:Using convenient sampling method, 124 AECOPD patients admitted to Department of Emergency of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao) were selected as the study objects. According to the admission order, 62 patients admitted from March to October 2020 were taken as the control group, and 62 patients admitted from March to October 2021 were taken as the observation group. The control group was given routine treatment and rehabilitation guidance. On the basis of this, the observation group received the early lung rehabilitation management of emergency-ward linkage under MDT mode. The arterial oxygen saturation, lung function index (FEV 1, FEV 1%Pred, FEV 1/FVC), 6-minute walk test (evaluation only after intervention) and quality of life of patients were evaluated before and after intervention. Results:Finally, 60 patients in each group completed the study. After the intervention, the arterial oxygen saturation, the score of quality of life, 6-minute walk test and FEV 1, FEV 1%Pred, FEV 1/FVC of patients in observation group were 0.93 ± 0.04, (29.68 ± 4.87) points, (341.93 ± 46.55) m, and (1.86 ± 0.68) L, (66.13 ± 8.96)%, (68.2 ± 58.53)%, respectively. And in the control group, they were 0.91 ± 0.04, (35.83 ± 2.94) points, (268.75 ± 50.78) m, and (1.50 ± 0.66) L, (61.70 ± 7.16)%, (64.10 ± 8.42) %, respectively. The observation group was significantly better than the control group ( t values were -8.23 to 8.37, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Early intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation by emergency-ward linkage under MDT mod can effectively improve arterial oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, exercise ability and quality of life of patients with AECOPD.
