Daily physical activity after bronchoscopic lung volume reduction: a pilot study.
Daily physical activity is an important outcome variable in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has shown to be mainly associated with dynamic lung hyperinflation [1]. Physical inactivity is known to cause muscle deconditioning, which increases the ventilatory requirements during exercise, and in turn increases lung hyperinflation and worsens dyspnoea, thus contributi...
متن کاملBronchoscopic lung volume reduction
Surgical lung volume reduction can improve exercise performance and forced expiratory volume in one second in patients with emphysema. However, the procedure is associated with a 5% mortality rate and a nonresponse rate of ,25%. Accordingly, interest has focused on alternative ways of reducing lung volume. Two principle approaches are used: collapse of the diseased area using blockers placed en...
متن کاملBronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction
The application of lung volume reduction surgery in clinical practice is limited by high postoperative morbidity and stringent selection criteria. This has been the impetus for the development of bronchoscopic approaches to lung volume reduction. A range of different techniques such as endobronchial blockers, airway bypass, endobronchial valves, thermal vapor ablation, biological sealants, and ...
متن کاملAtelectasis and survival after bronchoscopic lung volume reduction for COPD.
Bronchoscopic therapies to reduce lung volumes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are intended to avoid the risks associated with lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) or to be used in patient groups in whom LVRS is not appropriate. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) using endobronchial valves to target unilateral lobar occlusion can improve lung function and exercise capacity in p...
متن کاملEfficacy of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction: a meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Over the last several years, the morbidity, mortality, and high costs associated with lung volume reduction (LVR) surgery has fuelled the development of different methods for bronchoscopic LVR (BLVR) in patients with emphysema. In this meta-analysis, we sought to study and compare the efficacy of most of these methods. METHODS ELIGIBLE STUDIES WERE RETRIEVED FROM PUBMED AND EMBASE ...
