Effects of comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation therapy on pulmonary function and motor function in children after pneumonia:a prospective non-randomized controlled study
Objective:To investigate the effect of comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation therapy on pulmonary and mo-tor function in children after pneumonia.Method:Children with improved acute symptoms of community-acquired pneumonia who were hospitalized in PKUFH-Ningxia Women and Children's Hospital from September 2020 to January 2021 were selected and di-vided into experimental group(n=30)and control group(n=30)according to the treatment intention of pa-tients and parents.Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation therapy was provided to the patients in the experi-mental group.The pulmonary function and motor function of the two groups were assessed prior to interven-tion and 3 months after intervention.The forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in one sec-ond(FEV1)and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC),Borg scores and 6min walking test(6MWT)results were recorded and statistically analyzed.Result:After intervention,FEV1/FVC in experimental group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.05);the FVC,FEV1 and 6MWT of the experimental group were significantly higher than those before inter-vention(P<0.05).There were significant differences in FVC,FEV1,Borg scores and 6MWT between the ex-perimental group and the control group before and after intervention(P<0.05).Conclusion:Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation therapy is helpful to the recovery of pulmonary and mo-tor function in children after community-acquired pneumonia.
