5 Definition of PR According to the 2006 American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society statement on PR, “PR is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive intervention for patients with chronic respiratory diseases who are symptomatic and often have decreased daily life activities. Integrated into the individualized treatment of the patient, PR is designed to reduce symptoms, optimize functional status, increase participation and reduce health care costs through stabilizing or reversing systemic manifestations of the disease”

6 AACVPR Statement Pulmonary rehabilitation is an integral component of comprehensive medical therapy for patients with chronic respiratory disease. In Genreal, PR provides the greatest improvements in symptoms, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life of any therapy available for patients with COPD. In light of this PR is now prominently placed in virtually all major guidelines for treatment of COPD

7 Condition’s Appropriate for PR

8 Obstructive Diseases COPD (including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency) Persistent asthma Bronchiectasis Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiolitis obliterans

9 Restrictive Diseases Interstitial diseases – Interstital fibrosis – Occupational or environmental lung disease – Sarcoidosis Chest wall diseases  Kyphoscoliosis  Ankylosing Spondylitis Neuromuscular diseases Parkinson’s disease Postpolio syndrome Amyotropic lateral sclerosis Diaphragmatic dysfunction Multiple sclerosis Posttuberculosis syndrome

10 Other Conditions Lung cancer Primary pulmonary hypertension Before and after thoracic and abdominal surgery Before and after lung tranplantation Before and after lung volume reduction surgery Ventilator dependence Pediatric patients with respiratory disease Obesity-related respiratory disease

11 Patient Assessment Patient interview Medical Hx Physical exam Diagnostic tests Symptom assessment Musculoskeletal and exercise assesment

12 Patient Assessment (cont.) Activities of daily living Nutrition assessment Education assessment (understanding disease) Psychosocial assessment Goal achievement Pain assessment

13 Pulmonary Rehab Consent

14 Plan of Care After the intial evaluation is done the therapist and patient come up with goals and objectives the patient wants at the end of the program. Once done Dr. Abboy will meet with the patient to give the go ahead for this individual plan of care.

15 Education Collaborative self-management education is an essential component of comprehensive PR. Self-management education promotes learning by doing and taking advantage of teachable moments. Recommended content should be patient-specific, yet it is imperative to include early recognition and treatment of exacerbations, including the use of an action plan, for all patients. (AACVPR 4 th edition)

16 Chronic Bronchitis/Emphysema

17 PR Exercise Tests 6 minute walk test: Walk with patient and monitor heart rate and oxygen saturations. Documents distance walked, oxygen sats, and dypsnea.

18 Exercise Assesment Muscle strength and endurance Joint range of motion limitations Postural abnormalities (example: Kyphoscoliosis) How is the patient with oxygen equipment Subjective endurance and work tolerance Dyspena Lack of understanding of fitness and exercise Fear of exertion Ability to pace activities and energy conservation Balance abnormalities, gait instability, or increased risk of falling Pain levels and locations Ability to perform ADL’s (household chores, grooming, climbing stairs)

19 Exercise Program The importance of an exercise training program cannot be overemphasized. But before a safe exercise program can be provided, a through assessment needs to be done to evaluate exercise tolerance, formulate and appropriate exercise training prescription, detect exercise-induced hypoxemia or bronchospasm, and detect occult cardiac or other nonpulmonary limitations to exercise. The benefits of exercise training are well documented and include decreased dyspnea, increased physical capacity, and improved quality of life. Exercise is an essential component of a comprehensive PR program AACVPR 4 th Edition

25 Psychosocial Needs A strong, trusting bond must be established with patients early in PR to ensure successful outcomes. Patients experiencing substantial impairments in psychosocial functioning need to be referred to a mental health provider. Smoking cessation is part of PR. A combination of behavioral and pharmacological approaches is recommended to maximize success with long-term smoking cessation.

26 Interdisciplinary Approach Core Team Members: The Patient/Family Medical Director – Dr. Ramadas Abboy Department Director – Rick Kenney Department Assistant – Tara Chadwick Respiratory Therapists William Rodriguez Johanna Reyes Should include as needed: Behavioral Health Case Managers Diabetes Educator Dietician Nurse Pharmacist Physical/Occupational Therapy

27 Restrictive Lung Disease Patients with restrictive diseases are seen one-on-one per CMS guidelines. Because the disease process is more advanced and requires strict monitoring of the patient while in our care.

28 Obstructive Lung Disease This patient can be seen in a group setting. Benefits of group setting is “competition” among other group members by pushing each other to do better
