Breathing Therapy

Dyspnea self-management is often suboptimal for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Many patients with COPD experience chronic dyspnea as distressing and disabling, especially during physical activities. Breathing therapy is a behavioral intervention that targets reducing the distress and impact of dyspnea on exertion in daily living.Using a qualitative design, we conducted interviews with 14 patients after they participated in a novel mind-body breathing therapy intervention adjunct, capnography-assisted respiratory therapy (CART), combined with outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation. Comprehensive CART consisted of patient-centered biofeedback, tailored breathing exercises, home exercise program, and motivational interviewing counseling. We assessed participants’ perceptions and reported experiences to gauge the acceptability of CART and refine CART based on feedback. Constant comparative analysis was used to identify commonalities and themes.We identified three main themes relating to the acceptability and reported benefits of CART: (1) Self-regulating breathing; (2) Impact on health; and (3) Patient satisfaction. Our findings were used to refine and optimise CART (i.e., its intensity, timing, and format) for COPD. By addressing dysfunctional breathing behaviors and dysregulated interoception, CART offers a promising new paradigm for relieving dyspnea and related anxiety in patients with COPD.

Desenho do estudo: ensaio clínico. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos de um programa de exercícios resistidos em domicílio, com tubos elásticos, após o treinamento resistido supervisionado sobre a força muscular periférica e qualidade de vida de pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). Métodos: O estudo incluiu 22 pacientes com DPOC, com idade entre 55-70 anos. A força muscular periférica e a qualidade de vida foram avaliados por meio da dinamometria e do questionário Chronic Respiratory Questionare (CRQ), respectivamente, após o programa de treinamento de resistência supervisionado, e, em seguida, os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: tratamento domiciliar (n = 10) e controle (n = 12). Após 16 semanas, as avaliações foram repetidas. Resultados: O treinamento resistido em domicílio não mostrou aumento significativo sobre a força muscular periférica e qualidade de vida, no entanto, foi capaz de manter os ganhos obtidos após o programa de treinamento supervisionado. Conclusão: A continuidade do tratamento em domicílio não promoveu melhorias adicionais após o protocolo, uma vez que os ganhos foram mantidos nos dois grupos avaliados após 4 meses
