About this study

The data of patients undergoing bronchoscopic volume reduction procedure will be analyzed retrospectively. Patients will be divided into two groups as patients with and without Pulmonary Rehabilitation before the procedure, and changes in functional levels of patients will be compared.

Read the detailed description

The data of patients who underwent bronchoscopic volume reduction between January 2013 and March 2019 will be examined.

Patients will be divided into two groups as pulmonary rehabilitation applied (PR group) and not applied (Control group) before the procedure.

Changes in the parameters of initial and rehabilitation follow-up will be examined.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Six minute walking test

    The test was conducted in a 30-meter corridor in line with American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. Patients were asked to walk as far as they can. Prior to and following the test, oxygen saturation, heart rate and Borg fatigue rating were measured, and the walking distance were recorded

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Pulmonary Function Tests

    PFTs were performed by using the Sensormedics model 2400 (Yorba Linda, CA, USA) spirometry device, and according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Carbonmonoxide diffusion test

    It will performed in the pulmonary function test laboratory using Cosmed Quark PFT (USA) with single-breath technique

    Measured: 15 minutes
