Strength training is an essential part of PR
Definition of PR
• According to the 2006 American Thoracic
Society/European Respiratory Society statement
on PR, “PR is an evidence-based,
multidisciplinary, and comprehensive
intervention for patients with chronic respiratory
diseases who are symptomatic and often have
decreased daily life activities. Integrated into the
individualized treatment of the patient, PR is
designed to reduce symptoms, optimize
functional status, increase participation and
reduce health care costs through stabilizing or
reversing systemic manifestations of the disease”
AACVPR Statement
• Pulmonary rehabilitation is an integral
component of comprehensive medical therapy
for patients with chronic respiratory disease.
• In Genreal, PR provides the greatest
improvements in symptoms, exercise capacity,
and health-related quality of life of any therapy
available for patients with COPD.
• In light of this PR is now prominently placed in
virtually all major guidelines for treatment of
COPD

PULMONARY REHABILITATION PROGRAM
AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE AND GUIDELINES
1. DEFINITION
This program has been recommended to me by: Dr._________________
Pulmonary rehabilitation is an outpatient program provided for patients with chronic lung
Disease. It is designed to enhance the health status and quality of life of participants
through increase knowledge, better exercise tolerance, reduced respiratory symptoms,
and enhanced self-care and coping skills.
2. COMPONENTS
. PATIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
________ If you take nitroglycerin, I will bring and administer my nitroglycerin for chest pain.
I will also bring my glucometer to all sessions to check my blood sugar if needed.

The program consists of up to 36 – 1 hour sessions. The best outcome is achieved by
regular attendance and participation in all activities. Contact pulmonary rehabilitation
staff if you are not feeling well &/or unable to make it to your scheduled class day at 209536-3726.

Always report any unusual symptoms which you experience before, during or after
exercise, or that you notice in an exercising colleague.

Do not exercise within 2hours after eating a large meal, drinking alcoholic or
caffeine containing beverages or smoking.
Some of the components of the program are
 Initial assessment of respiratory status
 Patient training (education)
 Exercise (monitoring of HR, SpO2, Pre-Post BP)

possible dehydration.

Do NOT exercise if you have fasted overnight or for longer than 5 hours during the
daytime. Small snacks will give you energy your body needs for exercise.

NEVER exceed the prescribed level of exercise. If at any time you feel the exercise is
too hard or too easy you will inform the Pulmonary Rehab staff immediately so
adjustments can be made next session starts.

Keep all follow-up appointments with your family doctor and/or pulmonologist,

widespread experience indicates substantial improvement in many areas, depending on
the individual situation. These areas include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Increased exercise capacity.
Improved ability to perform activates of daily living.
Decreased respiratory symptoms.

Enhanced quality of life.
Improved ability to be gainfully employed.
4. POTENTIAL RISK AND DISCOMFORTS
Although the staff will make every effort to minimize risks during the sessions by
performing a comprehensive preliminary assessment and by maintaining close
observation during the sessions, there exists the possibility of unexpected changes during
exercise. These include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Equipment problems (e.g. falling off treadmill)
Abnormal blood pressure response.
Lightheadedness of fainting.
Disturbance in heart rhythm.
Chest pain, heart attack, or even death (rare).
For increased safety, various vital signs, such as pulse, blood pressure, and oxygenation will be
monitored on a prescheduled basis and/or as needed. Emergency equipment is available, and
staff is trained to deal with unusual situations, which may arise.
Adequate hydration before, during and is important after exercise to minimize
who will continue to be responsible for medical care.

Plan of Care
• After the intial evaluation is done the
therapist and patient come up with goals and
objectives the patient wants at the end of the
program.
• Once done Dr. Abboy will meet with the
patient to give the go ahead for this individual
plan of care.
Education
• Collaborative self-management education is
an essential component of comprehensive PR.
Self-management education promotes
learning by doing and taking advantage of
teachable moments. Recommended content
should be patient-specific, yet it is imperative
to include early recognition and treatment of
exacerbations, including the use of an action
plan, for all patients. (AACVPR 4th edition)

Exercise Program
The importance of an exercise training program cannot be
overemphasized. But before a safe exercise program can be
provided, a through assessment needs to be done to evaluate
exercise tolerance, formulate and appropriate exercise training
prescription, detect exercise-induced hypoxemia or
bronchospasm, and detect occult cardiac or other nonpulmonary
limitations to exercise. The benefits of exercise training are well
documented and include decreased dyspnea, increased physical
capacity, and improved quality of life. Exercise is an essential
component of a comprehensive PR program

Psychosocial Needs
A strong, trusting bond must be established with patients early
in PR to ensure successful outcomes.
Patients experiencing substantial impairments in psychosocial
functioning need to be referred to a mental health provider.
Smoking cessation is part of PR. A combination of behavioral
and pharmacological approaches is recommended to maximize
success with long-term smoking cessation.
Interdisciplinary Approach

Restrictive Lung Disease
Patients with restrictive diseases are
seen one-on-one per CMS guidelines.
Because the disease process is more
advanced and requires strict
monitoring of the patient while in our
care.
Obstructive Lung Disease
This patient can be seen in a group
setting.
Benefits of group setting is
“competition” among other group
members by pushing each other to do
better
