Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Summary
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary programme of
care that is individually tailored and designed to optimise
physical and social performance and autonomy.
Pulmonary rehabilitation should be considered for patients with
COPD who have dyspnoea or other respiratory symptoms,
reduced exercise tolerance, a restriction in activities because of
their disease, or impaired health status.
Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes include:
 exercise training,
 education,
 psychosocial/behavioural intervention,
 nutritional therapy,
 outcome assessment,
 promotion of long-term adherence to the rehabilitation recommendations.

5
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Settings
Pulmonary rehabilitation is administered in inpatient, outpatient,
or home settings, or some combination of these.
 In Romania is in common use inpatient and rarely home
settings.
 In Europe, ambulatory patients may be admitted to an
inpatient program to undergo intensive therapy and to avoid the
inconvenience of daily travel.
 In the United States inpatient rehabilitation is usually reserved
for patients who are too disabled to travel to and from an
outpatient program and the focus of these programs is more
often on optimizing medical or ventilator regimens than on the
exercise components.
6
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Candidates

Candidates for pulmonary rehabilitation


are patients with:
 Symptomatic impairment attributable to
pulmonary disability,
 Failure of standard medical regimen to
achieve adequate symptomatic relief and
 Motivated, adherent patients.

7
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Indications
The indications for PR include the presence of
respiratory impairment potentially responsive to
the techniques available manifested as:
 dyspnoea experienced during rest or exertion;

 hypoxemia, hypercapnia;

 reduced exercise tolerance or a decline in the


patient's ability to perform activities of daily living;
 an unexpected deterioration or worsening
symptoms against a background of long-standing
dyspnoea and a reduced but stable exercise
tolerance level;

8
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Indications

the need for surgical intervention (pre- and


postoperative lung resection, transplantation, or
volume reduction);
chronic respiratory failure and the need to
initiate mechanical ventilation;
ventilator dependence;
increasing need for acute care intervention,
including emergency room visits,
hospitalizations, and unscheduled physician
office visits.

9
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Indications

Indications for inpatient as opposed to outpatient


pulmonary rehabilitation:
Severe impairment;
Multiple comorbidities;
Chronic invasive mechanical ventilation;
Slow convalescence from an acute respiratory
illness;
Preparing a debilitated or chronically ventilated
patient for discharge home;
Transportation problems, too distant from program.

10
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Contraindications
The initial assessment of the patient should establish
his or her willingness to participate in the rehabilitation
process.
So, - lack of motivation and
- non-adherence exclude patient from PR program.

The presence of certain conditions would make


successful completion of the rehabilitation process unlikely:
Severe cognitive dysfunction or psychiatric illness that
interferes with memory and compliance;

11
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Contraindications

Unstable comorbidity (ischemic cardiac disease,


unstable angina, uncompensated congestive heart
failure);
Severe exercise-induced hypoxemia, not correctable
with O2 supplementation;
Inability to exercise due to severe lung or other
disease (arthritis, stroke);
Severe pulmonary hypertension, significant hepatic
dysfunction, metastatic cancer, renal failure, acute cor
pulmonale and COPD acute exacerbations;

12
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Contraindications
Substance abuse without the desire to cease use
would seriously interfere with successful PR;
commonly cigarette smoking (however smokers and
nonsmokers have similar responses to rehabilitation).
• Physical limitations such as poor eyesight, impaired
hearing, a speech impediment, or orthopedic
impairment may require modification of the PR
setting but should not interfere with participation in
a PR program.

The decision to provide or withhold PR should be based


on a thorough, individualized patient assessment.
13
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Limitations of method
Patient related:
The patient may have a disease process that
has progressed to the stage where
rehabilitation is not possible;
The patient may not adhere to or complete the
program because it appears to be complicated
or because of a sense of hopelessness,
depression, or a lack of motivation;
The patient/patient family may be reluctant to
make changes in their usual program,
medications, start new therapy, quit smoking,
use supplemental oxygen, or exercise;
14
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Limitations of method

There might be concerns or limitations in


patient transportation;
Financial resources might not be available.

Related to the health care system:


The patient may have to stop the program
because of an acute exacerbation, or
worsening of another medical condition;
Reimbursement by intermediaries or third-party
payers is not standardized or insufficient.

15
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Practical observation
Evidence from some trials suggests that
respiratory rehabilitation is effective in COPD
patients after acute exacerbation.
Early inpatient-outpatient rehabilitation for COPD
patients admitted with an exacerbation was
feasible and safe, and was associated with a
non-significant trend towards reduced acute
health-care utilization.
Larger trials, however, are needed to further
investigate the role of respiratory rehabilitation
after acute exacerbation and its potential to
reduce costs caused by COPD.
16
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Conclusions
RP should be made available to all patients who
need it. This requires education of healthcare
professionals at all levels of education, with the
objective to be incorporated into medical practice
chain processes.
In addition, concerted efforts are needed to
encourage health care system providers to offer
this therapy and make it affordable.
Recent studies have shown that long-term
benefits (including reduced health care resources)
are achievable with low cost interventions, which
promote this effort.
17
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Conclusions
It is necessary to develop ways to maintain benefits
after RP, particularly by improving long-term self-
management and adherence to exercise program at
home.

Even if it has access to RP are found a considerable


number of subjects choose not to participate and know
little about why this election. More information is
needed about the rationale and predictors non-
adherence and non-participation in programs to
develop PR strategies to influence behavior effectively
these subjects.
