Reabilitação pulmonar na DPOC

Reabilitação pulmonar na DPOC

Abstract

A DPOC é uma das mais prevalentes e debilitantes doenças no mundo inteiro, ocupando actualmente um lugar de destaque nas principais causas de mortalidade e morbilidade da população global. Em Portugal, 14,2% da população sofre de DPOC. Os doentes com este diagnóstico devem ser englobados em planos terapêuticos cuidados que, para além do tratamento farmacológico optimizado e personalizado a cada doente, englobam também outras estratégias não farmacológicas. Muitas das terapias não farmacológicas provaram já o seu valor na abordagem destes doentes sendo os Programas de Reabilitação Pulmonar o protótipo desta abordagem. São inquestionáveis as evidências da sua acção sobre a sintomatologia dos doentes, reduzindo a dispneia e a fadiga, melhorando consideravelmente a qualidade de vida dos doentes, aumentando a sua capacidade física e melhorando o prognóstico. Munindo-se de uma equipa multidisciplinar e de diversas estratégias, tendo como base o exercício físico, os Programas de Reabilitação Pulmonar devem ser considerados ferramentas fundamentais no arsenal do tratamento da DPOC, merecendo a atenção dos prestadores de cuidados de saúde para a implementação de políticas públicas que incluam estes programas na rotina dos serviços de saúde

COPD is one of the most prevalent and debilitating diseases worldwide, currently occupying a proeminent place in the leading causes of mortality and morbidity of the global population. In Portugal, 14.2% of the population suffers from COPD. Patients with this diagnosis should be submitted to forethought therapeutic plans which, in addition to an optimized and customized pharmacological treatment for each patient, include other nonpharmacological strategies. Many of the non-pharmacological therapies have proven their value and the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs are the prototype of this approach. The evidence of the benefits on the patient’s symptoms is unquestionable. It has been determined Reabilitação Pulmonar na DPOC 2 that these Programs reduce dyspnea and fatigue, improving the patient’s quality of life and improving their prognosis. Using a multidisciplinary team and different strategies, where physical exercise are the baseground, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs should be considered important tools for the treatment of COPD. Health care providers should implement public policies including such programs in the routine of health care facilities.
