Hematopoietik Kök Hücre Nakil Alıcılarında Pulmoner Rehabilitasyonun Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on pulmonary functions, respiratory and muscle strength, functional capasity and quality of life in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recepients. Thirty three patients were included in this study. These patients were randomized into two groups. Training group followed a program consists of inspiratory muscle training, in addition to mobilisation aerobic exercise training and strength training. Control group were offered the standard mobilization program and incentive spirometry exercises. Pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capasity, peripheral muscle strength, quality of life, physical activity level, dispnea perception and fatigue were assessed. Results showed that in pulmonary rehabilitation group pulmonary functions, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength didn't change (p>0.05). In control group functional exercise capasity, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength decreased statistically significant (p<0.05). In conclusion pulmonary rehabilitation preserves functional capasity in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recepients. Pulmonary rehabilitation should be offered to these patients during transplantation.
