High- and low-level pressure support during walking in people with severe kyphoscoliosis.
To determine whether the level of pressure support (PS) provided during exercise influences endurance time in people with severe kyphoscoliosis, a double-blind randomised crossover study was performed. We hypothesised that high-level PS would be required to enhance endurance time in this population with high impedance to inflation. 13 participants with severe kyphoscoliosis performed four endur...
متن کاملAmbulatory oxygen therapy in stable kyphoscoliosis.
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may benefit from ambulatory oxygen; however, the effect of exercise on arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2) in patients with kyphoscoliosis and of correction with ambulatory oxygen have not been previously reported. Twelve patients with stable kyphoscoliosis (mean (SD) Cobb angle 79 (26) degrees) were studied, with mean (SD) arterial oxyg...
متن کاملEffectiveness and safety of mouthpiece ventilation and nocturnal non-invasive ventilation in patients with kyphoscoliosis: Short and long-term outcomes after an episode of acute respiratory failure.
BACKGROUND Kyphoscoliosis is a skeletal condition involving the hyperflexion of the thoracic spine. It is characterized by reduced chest wall compliance and impaired respiratory mechanisms leading to progressive hypo-ventilation. We evaluated the effectiveness and the safety of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients after an episode of acute respiratory failure (ARF). METHODS Eighteen pat...
متن کاملPulmonary rehabilitation improves exercise capacity in subjects with kyphoscoliosis and severe respiratory impairment.
BACKGROUND Patients with kyphoscoliosis and severe respiratory impairment frequently experience reduction in exercise tolerance, limitation in daily life activities, and deterioration in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as an add-on treatment to long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) was shown to improve symptoms and HRQOL in these patients. Pulmonary rehabilitatio...
