Predicting walking-induced oxygen desaturations in COPD patients: a statistical model.
BACKGROUND Oxygen desaturation during walking can have important consequence on prognosis of COPD patients. However, a standard 6-min walk test (6MWT), useful in detecting desaturation in COPD patients, can be difficult to execute in some settings of COPD management, as in the community healthcare service. We evaluated a new scoring system for the risk of oxygen desaturation during walking in C...
متن کاملAmbulatory oxygen therapy in stable kyphoscoliosis.
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may benefit from ambulatory oxygen; however, the effect of exercise on arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2) in patients with kyphoscoliosis and of correction with ambulatory oxygen have not been previously reported. Twelve patients with stable kyphoscoliosis (mean (SD) Cobb angle 79 (26) degrees) were studied, with mean (SD) arterial oxyg...
متن کاملShort report Evaluation of pulsed dose oxygen delivery during exercise in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background—Oxygen conserving devices may lead to substantial increases in the duration of oxygen provided. A study was undertaken to compare the performance of a pulsed dose oxygen delivery (PDOD) system with continuous flow oxygen or air during a maximal walking test. Methods—Fourteen patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and arterial oxygen desaturation on exercise (mean ...
متن کاملEffects of Biofeedback Therapy on Cardiovascular and Respiratory Indices in NREM Sleep Parasomnias with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case study
Introduction: Non-REM parasomnias are a relatively common condition in the general human population. Current treatment plans are usually based on small case series and reports. Considering the effects of sleep disorders on different aspects of human life and the failure of pharmacological treatments in this field, the present study was designed to investigate a case of this sleep disorders with...
متن کاملOxygen desaturation and breathlessness during corridor walking in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: effect of oxitropium bromide.
BACKGROUND Although exercise induced desaturation can occur in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), little is known about its frequency during everyday exercise, or how it relates to dyspnoea or prior drug treatment. METHODS The effects of 200 micrograms inhaled oxitropium bromide, an anticholinergic bronchodilator drug, on spirometric values, dyspnoea score, and oxygen...
