The Effect of Incentive Spirometry Added to Routine Physiotherapy Program on Hemodynamic Responses and Hospital Stay in Patients With COPD Exacerbation
The Effect of Incentive Spirometry Added to Routine Physiotherapy Program on Hemodynamic Responses and Hospital Stay in Patients With COPD Exacerbation
COPD; it is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is associated with increased chronic inflammatory responses in the airways and lungs against harmful gases and particles, and that it manages progressive airflow. The definition of exacerbation is defined as an acute onset with a change in where daily differences in the main symptoms occur and which may occur with the presence of drugs. The number of exacerbations in the course of the disease is between 1-3 years on average. Routine physiotherapy treatment in COPD exacerbation is expected to increase lung volume and effective removal of airway secretions. The concept of physiotherapy programs is vibration, thoracic expression exercise, positive expiratory pressure therapy and gait programs.
An incentive spirometer is a simple, inexpensive device to adjust lung tissue re-expansion by increasing lung volumes and diaphragmatic mobility, providing maximal inspiration with termination control without a resistive loading. In COPD patients, the use of incentive spirometry is to increase alveolar ventilation and oxygenation in lifestyle.
There are a limited number of studies in the literature regarding the results of the use of incentive spirometry in COPD patients. The results of postoperative results of incentive spirometry in COPD patients were tried and established on pulmonary complications, diseases, postoperative dyspnea perception and lifestyle. The importance of the investigator's research; this is the first study to evaluate hemodynamic responses and hospitalization plans of incentive spirometer and routine physiotherapy program in COPD exacerbations.
