A physiological model of patient-reported breathlessness during daily activities in COPD.
Breathlessness during daily activities has a significant impact on quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Herein, we present a physiological model of patient-reported breathlessness based on the relationship between ventilatory load, respiratory muscle capacity, neural respiratory drive and neuromechanical dissociation during daily activities. This model should facilitate an ...
متن کاملImpacting patient-centred outcomes in COPD: breathlessness and exercise tolerance
The physiological hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is expiratory flow limitation. However, it is the resultant air trapping and associated increases in lung volume (hyperinflation) that provide a mechanistic link between the physiological impairment and the characteristic symptoms of COPD, such as dyspnoea (breathlessness), exercise intolerance and reduced health-related...
متن کاملOnce-Daily Triple Therapy in Patients with COPD: Patient-Reported Symptoms and Quality of Life
INTRODUCTION Directly recorded patient experience of symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) can complement lung function and exacerbation rate data in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) clinical studies. The FULFIL study recorded daily symptoms and activity limitation together with additional patient-reported outcomes of dyspnea and HRQoL, as part of the prespecified anal...
متن کاملCharacteristics of daily arm activities in patients with COPD.
Arm activities are required for maintenance of self-care and independent living. This study aimed to investigate whether and to what extent arm activities of daily living (ADL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients differ compared to healthy controls and the extent to which they perform arm ADL at a relatively higher upper limb muscle effort. Daily arm and leg activities were...
متن کاملActivity limitation: a major consequence of dyspnoea in COPD.
I n the present issue of the European Respiratory Review, JOLLEY and MOXHAM [1] present ‘‘A physiological model of patient-reported breathlessness during daily activities in COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]’’. The purpose of their interesting approach is to explain why a given patient may experience breathlessness in some particular situations of his/her daily life, based on the var...
