Detailed Description:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); It is a common, treatable and preventable disease characterized by progressive and irreversible airflow limitation and has systemic effects with respiratory system involvement. Increased respiratory workload, decreased work of breathing in patients are important factors that cause respiratory and peripheral muscle strength and functional capacity exercise intolerance. It is defined as an exacerbation if there is an increase in shortness of breath, cough, sputum amount and purulence, which necessitates a change in treatment in the COPD patients. In the guides; Individualized exercise training for disease management is an essential component of these programs. In the literature; Although there are many studies showing the beneficial effects of traditional exercise training programs in patients with COPD, physiotherapy applications used in the exacerbation period are recommended, but there are not many studies examining the device technologies used in this area. In this period, devices that provide chest wall oscillation and airway oscillation can be preferred for the symptomatic treatment of increasing cough and sputum complaints. There is no study comparing these two methods that we know of. Our study will be carried out on 33 patients hospitalized in the Pulmonology Service of the Health Sciences University Gülhane Training and Research Hospital, followed up with the diagnosis of COPD exacerbation, who met the inclusion criteria and accepted to participate in the study on a voluntary basis. Patients will be randomized into 3 groups as 2 experiments and 1 control. Measurements of patients admitted to the ward will be made at the beginning and end of the study. Socio-demographic data of the patient, chest circumference measurement, COPD assessment test, mMRC dyspnea scale, BODE index, pulmonary function test, arterial blood gas, chest X-ray, 30-second sit and stand test, Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale, Clinical COPD Questionnaire, Charlson comorbidity index will be applied. Pursed-lip breathing, active breathing techniques cycle, bronchial hygiene techniques, mobilization, calisthenic exercises and patient education (teaching relaxation positions and energy conservation techniques) will be applied to the patients in the study and control groups during their hospitalization. Chest wall oscillation will be practiced together with chest physiotherapy in the 1st experimental group, and airway oscillation will be practiced in the 2nd experimental group with the same physiotherapy program. In the study, the clinical use and technical features of the devices will be examined.
