Jan Szczegielniak, Katarzyna Bogacz – The influence of early, after – hospital physiotherapy on ventilatory lung function in patients after CABG. Fizjoterapia Polska 2002; 2(2); 108-111

Abstract
Background. The aim of this research paper is to describe the influence of early, post-hospitalization physiotherapy on ventilatory lung function in patients after CABG. Material and methods. The effectiveness of physiotherapy was assessed on the basis of examination of the respiratory system, in 36 patients. Results. The decrease of ventilatory indicators before post-hospitalization physiotherapy indicates the negative influence of CABG on ventilatory lung function of these patients. Conclusions. The improvement of ventilatory lung function, expressed by significant increases of indicators MEF50, MEF 25-75, PEF, FVC and FEV1 in our patients indicates that physiotherapy, including elements of breathing exercises, comprises the crucial element in the treatment patients after CABG.

Abstract

Background. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the suitability of brisk walking tests in qualifying patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for exercise. Material and methods. The article presents a description of the tests as a method for evaluating the exertion capacity necessary for proper loading of patients with physical exertion during exercises. Results. The dependence we found between the basic values of the tested indices specifying the ventilation capacity of the lungs and the energy expenditure measured in the 6- and 12-minute brisk walking tests indicates that these tests are suitable for qualifying patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for exercise. Conclusions. Determining the energy expenditure in METS in the 6- and 12-minute brisk walking test enables proper dosing of physical exertion in the home-based rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after in-patient treatment, and developing indications for their motor activity.
