Pulmonary rehabilitation in resource poor settings.
Artículo en Inglés | IMSEAR | ID: sea-138669
ABSTRACT
Pulmonary rehabilitation is an important component in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other chronic respiratory diseases. The goal of rehabilitation is to evaluate various systems, treat optimally, improve dyspnoea and health-related quality of life. It is a multi-disciplinary approach and involves a physician, a psychiatrist, a dietician and a physiotherapist. However, in a resource-poor setting, even an experienced physician alone may suffice. Exercise training is the backbone of pulmonary rehabilitation, which may be hospital-based or home-based. Though, the previous trials have shown benefit with hospital-based rehabilitation, several recent studies have demonstrated significant improvement in the 6-minute walk test and quality of life even with unsupervised, home-based pulmonary rehabilitation. In the resource-poor settings, the goal of rehabilitation may be achieved by incorporating regular unsupervised exercise in daily routine. This is not only better accepted and more suitable but is also more feasible for the lifelong maintenance of rehabilitation.
