Respiratory muscle rest using nasal BiPAP ventilation in patients with stable severe COPD.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To more systematically evaluate the effect of respiratory muscle rest on indices of ventilatory function, nine outpatients with stable, severe COPD were treated with nasal pressure-support ventilation delivered via a nasal ventilatory support system (BiPAP, Respironics, Inc) for 2 h a day for 5 consecutive days. An additional eight control patients were treated with sham-BiPAP. Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), arterial blood gas values, Borg dyspnea score, dyspnea-associated functional impairment scales, and distance walked in 6 min were measured in subjects prior to and following the week-long trial. Nasal BiPAP produced a 66.3 +/- 6 percent reduction in peak integrated diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMG) activity. There were no statistically significant changes in MIP, MEP, MVV, arterial pH, PaCO2, or PaO2 or in objective measures of functional impairment from dyspnea in either group after ventilator or sham treatment. However, nasal BiPAP reduced the Borg category score during resting, spontaneous breathing from 2.0 +/- 0.4 to 0.7 +/- 0.3 (p < 0.01) after 5 days of treatment. In contrast, sham BiPAP-treated patients had no change in their dyspnea score, which was 1.8 +/- 0.4 and 1.3 +/- 0.4 before and after sham treatment, respectively. Nasal BiPAP also increased distance walked in 6 min from 780 +/- 155 to 888 +/- 151 ft (p < 0.01) (23,400 +/- 4,650 to 26,640 +/- 4,530 cm) (p < 0.01), whereas sham-BiPAP had no effect (768 +/- 96 and 762 +/- 106 ft [23,040 +/- 2,880 and 22,860 +/- 3,180 cm]) before and after sham treatment, respectively). In conclusion, these results indicate that nasal pressure-support ventilation, delivered via nasal BiPAP, improves exercise capacity and reduces dyspnea over the short term in selected outpatients with stable severe COPD. Whether such short-term improvement can be sustained merits further study.

Influence of noninvasive ventilation by BiPAP on exercise tolerance and respiratory muscle strength in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients (COPD).
This study aimed to assess the effect of BiPAP, by nasal mask, on exercise tolerance and respiratory muscle strength in patients with a clinical and spirometric diagnosis of moderate/severe COPD (FEV1 < 60% of predicted). Ten patients of 59.4+/-8.9 years old, with FEV1/FVC <70% of predicted level, were treated with 30 minutes of BiPAP (IPAP:10 and 15 cmH2O; EPAP:4 cmH2O), three days per week, d...

Background: Resistive Inspiratory Muscle Training (RIMT) is a well-known technique for rehabilitation of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Incentive spirometry is another technique with potential viability for this application, but there is limited evidence in support of its efficacy in the rehabilitation of COPD patients. Aim: The objective of this study was to compar...

controversial because of their obscure mechanisms. A randomized crossover study, using iron lung and positive pressure nasal ventilation (BiPAP) each for 40 mm, was performed in 11 stable patients with severe COPD. Throughout the study, we monitored surface EMGdi, EMGst, ECG, Sa05, ETCO2, and the movements of RC and tB. Afterwards the data were replayed to calculate VT, RR, PR, VT/TI, iEMG, and...
