简要总结
Silicosis, one of the most common occupational respiratory diseases, is an irreversible chronic lung disease caused by inhalation of silica dust in a crystalline form.The prevalence of silicosis in India ranges widely from 3.5% in the ordnance factory to 54.6% in the slate-pencil industry. Silicosis leads to decreased lung function capacity.
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a test used for checking the exercise capacity of the patients by measuring the distance walked in 6 minutes. It is easy and inexpensive to perform, and reflects the functional capacity of patients. Many studies have proved its usefulness in as a prognostic indicator for predicting mortality or lung transplantation.
To monitor the progress of severity in patients with silicosis, evaluating capacity for work is important, by measuring the respiratory functions.
It is a hospital based cross sectional observational study, in which the Diagnosed Silicosis patients above 18 years of age attending the outpatient clinic of the Respiratory Medicine Department will be recruited. Their lung function tests will be done. 6-minute walk test(6MWT) will be performed along a 30-meter corridor, and their heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be measured during before and after the test.
This study will help in Understanding the exercise capacity of silicosis patients, and then help in developing personalized rehabilitation programs that address their specific needs and limitations
