Effects of Early Pulmonary Rehabilitation Training Combined with Whole Body Vibration Training on Pulmonary Function,Exercise Capacity and Arterial Blood Gas Analysis Index in AECOPD Patients
Objective:To observe the effects of combine treatment of early pulmonary rehabilitation training and whole body vibration training on pulmonary function,exercise capacity and arterial blood gas analysis index in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods:136 AECOPD patients in our hospital were divided into control group(early pulmonary rehabilitation training,n=68)and observation group(whole body vibration training on the basis of control group,n=68)according to the random number table method.The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test(CAT),pulmonary function index,St.George's respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ)score,arterial blood gas analysis index,exercise capacity,number of acute exacer-bations within 6 months,30-day readmission rate were compared between two groups.Results:The CAT,SGRQ scores and partial pres-sure of carbon dioxide(PCO2)in observation group were lower than those in control group after treatment,and the forced expiratory vol-ume in the first second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),peak expiratory flow(PEF),arterial oxygen partial pressure(PO2),oxygen saturation(SPO2),six-minute walking distance(6MWD)and 30 s chair sit-up test(30-STS)were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).The 30-day readmission rate and the number of acute exacerbations within 6 months in observation group were less than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Early pulmonary rehabilitation training combined with whole-body vibration training can improve pul-monary function,exercise capacity and arterial blood gas analysis indexes in AECOPD patients,while also reducing the number of acute exacerbations within 6 months and the 30-d readmission rate.
