20 cze 2019 · Perceptions of the literature regarding airway clearance techniques for patients with acute exacerbations of COPD. (a) Raw categorical responses and (b) dichotomized responses analysed according to <5 years/>5 years of cardiorespiratory experience; χ2 -test. COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract. This document provides clinical recommendations for the prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. It represents a collaborative effort between the European Respiratory Society and the American Thoracic Society.
1 gru 2014 · Physiotherapists frequently use breathing exercises to relieve dyspnoea, improve thoraco-abdominal co-ordination and enhance functional capacity in people with acute exacerbations of COPD. Commonly used techniques include breathing control (also known as diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing) and pursed lip breathing (gentle exhalation through ...
They found that following rhinovirus infection, COPD patients developed more lower respiratory symptoms, more airflow limitation, and more systemic and airway inflammation than controls, thus providing circumstantial support for respiratory infections as a driver of exacerbations in COPD.
10 sty 2022 · Primary health behaviour targets for COPD self‐management interventions are: adequate medication intake (e.g. adherence, inhalation technique), smoking cessation, increasing levels of physical activity and exercise, managing breathlessness, using energy conservation techniques, avoiding aggravating factors (e.g. smoke, pollution), and using ...
The GOLD 2018 document states that the treatment goals for COPD are symptom reduction (including improved exercise capacity and overall health status) as well as risk reduction for adverse outcomes (symptom progression, exacerbations, and mortality).
We summarize here data from preclinical and clinical studies identifying systemic inflammation as a modifiable phenotype in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and as a potential target for effective preventive interventions (2–6).
