The 12-week, outpatient program at Malden (Mass) Hospital incorporates whole-body exercise (walking), inspiratory resistive loading, and use of supplemental oxygen. Exercise prescription is based on the work level requiring a minute ventilation equal to 50% of each patient's maximum breathing capacity. A cardiopulmonary exercise test, 12-minute walk, and endurance test provide the before and after rehabilitation testing protocol. Such a program can be implemented at a community hospital where most patients with COPD have their greatest access to medical care.</p>","PeriodicalId":76941,"journal":{"name":"Respiratory therapy","volume":"14 5","pages":"41-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21139475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
