One of the therapeutic strategies for patients with chronic respiratory disease with no possibility of cure is the pulmonary rehabilitation program. Objectives: Evaluate through the six-minute walk test questionnaire and Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire the effects of 36 pulmonary rehabilitation sessions in preoperative lung transplantation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Patients and Method:The selected patient was a candidate for lung transplantation. He had a clinical diagnosis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and underwent 36 sessions of pulmonary rehabilitation. Data analysis was performed to collect and compare information from the six--minute walk test and quality of life. Data were collected before and after 36 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation. Results: Before the pulmonary rehabilitation, the six-minute walk test showed a respiratory rate of 20 and 30 incursions per minute, respectively. After the intervention, the test showed 15 and 25 incursions per minute, respectively. Before and after the pulmonary rehabilitation, the teste showed a peak heart rate of 148 and 131 beats per minute. The recovery time of peripheral oxygen saturation was of five minutes and thirty seconds before and two minutes after reevaluation; the walking distance was 270 meters before and 513 meters after 36 sessions of pulmonary rehabilitation. Through the application of the Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire, it was noted an improvement in the following domains after pulmonary rehabilitation: symptoms, activity, impact, and total. The observation of these data characterizes functional and quality of life improvement for this patient. Conclusion: For this patient, 36 pulmonary rehabilitation sessions provided a positive impact on functional capacity and quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
