The Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Bronchoscopic Volume Reduction Process Success

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Emphysema; Pulmonary Rehabilitation; Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction
• Interventions: Other: Pulmonary Rehabilitation; Other: Standart care

• Registration Number: NCT04347044
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Brief Summary

The data of patients undergoing bronchoscopic volume reduction procedure will be analyzed retrospectively. Patients will be divided into two groups as patients with and without Pulmonary Rehabilitation before the procedure, and changes in functional levels of patients will be compared.

Detailed Description

The data of patients who underwent bronchoscopic volume reduction between January 2013 and March 2019 will be examined.

Patients will be divided into two groups as pulmonary rehabilitation applied (PR group) and not applied (Control group) before the procedure.

Changes in the parameters of initial and rehabilitation follow-up will be examined.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group	Pulmonary Rehabilitation	Optimal medication and clinical follow-up plus Pulmonary rehabiltation
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group	Standart care	Optimal medication and clinical follow-up plus Pulmonary rehabiltation
Non-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Group	Standart care	Optimal medication and clinical follow-up

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Six minute walking test	20 minutes	The test was conducted in a 30-meter corridor in line with American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. Patients were asked to walk as far as they can. Prior to and following the test, oxygen saturation, heart rate and Borg fatigue rating were measured, and the walking distance were recorded
Pulmonary Function Tests	15 minutes	PFTs were performed by using the Sensormedics model 2400 (Yorba Linda, CA, USA) spirometry device, and according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Carbonmonoxide diffusion test	15 minutes	It will performed in the pulmonary function test laboratory using Cosmed Quark PFT (USA) with single-breath technique
