Exercise-induced oxygen desaturation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
Interest in the causes and characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its clinical manifestations has grown in the last 10 years. The range of clinical symptoms and other specific characteristics of COPD patients has led it be considered more as a syndrome than a disease, and many investigators have been motivated to define new phenotypes that reflect the particular fea...
متن کاملComparison of the Sit-to-stand Test with Six Minute Walk Test in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background: poorly reversible airflow limitation that is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung. functional status for patients with chronic respiratory disease. The 6MWT is easy to administer, well tolerated and more reflective of activities of daily life than the other walk tests and cardio stand up from a chair is an important component for...
متن کامل[Six-minute-walk test and maximum exercise test in cycloergometer in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Are the physiological demands equivalent?].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The physiological load imposed by the six minute walk test (SMWT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients come from small studies where the influence of disease severity has not been assessed. The aim of the present study was to compare the SMWT with an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in patients classified by disease severity accordin...
متن کاملSix-minute walk work in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
The 6-Min Walk Test (6MWT) is a simple tool for the evaluation of functional exercise capacity, which reflects the capacity of the individual to perform activities of daily living. 1,2 Demographic, anthropometric, clinical, and physiological characteristics can affect the test performance in healthy elderly subjects and in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases 3,4 and the distance walked in th...
متن کاملEffects of Pentoxifylline on Oxygenation and Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background: It was hypothesized that the use of Pentoxifylline would increase arterial O2 saturation and increase exercise tolerance in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Methods: We tested this hypothesis in 23 patients with COPD and pulmonary hypertension. Patients were randomized to receive Pentoxifylline or placebo, each for a 12-week period, in a prospectiv...
