REHABILITATION AFTER CRITICAL ILLNESS: Lessons to be learned from cardiopulmonary rehabilitation Rik Gosselink, PT, PhD, FERS Faculty of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Sciences University Hospitals Leuven, KU Leuven Questions? POST ICU REHABILITATION Effectiveness of Pulmonary Rehabilitation? Effectiveness of Rehabilitation in Post ICU Syndrome? Post ICU Syndrome: similarities with other chronic health conditions, such as COPD, cancer, CHF? What lessons can be learned from Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Post ICU Rehabilitation?

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Population COPD Asthma Cystic Fibrosis Interstitial Lung Disease Chest wall disorders Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Lung transplantation Definition COPD NHLBI/WHO Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD): Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a preventable and treatable disease with some significant extrapulmonary effects that may contribute to the severity in individual patients. Its pulmonary component is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. SYSTEMIC CONSEQUENCES EXTRAPULMONARY MANIFESTATIONS COMORBIDITIES OF Comorbidity (CVD, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis..) Poor physical fitness Poor physical activity Muscle weakness Malnutrition Depression - Anxiety Poor quality of life COPD
Definition Pulmonary Rehabilitation Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive intervention based on a thorough patient assessment followed by patient-tailored therapies which include, but are not limited to, exercise training, education and behavior change, designed to improve the physical and emotional condition of people with chronic respiratory disease and to promote the longterm adherence of health-enhancing behaviors."

Exercise training is the cornerstone of any rehabilitation programme Casaburi & ZuWallack NEJM 2009 www.fysionet.nl www.cebp.nl www.bvp-sbp.org Dutch English French Portugese The ACSM recommends symptom-limited exercise testing before vigorous exercise (>60% VO 2 max) is undertaken by men > 45 yr and women > 55 yr, those with 2 or more major cardiac risk factors (smoking, inactivity ), persons with any signs or symptoms of coronary artery disease, or those with known cardiac, pulmonary, or metabolic disease.

EXERCISE TRAINING: HOW? Cardiorespiratory Fitness Kind of activity: Any activity that uses large muscle groups that can be maintained continuously and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature. Activities include: walking, cycling, stair climbing, swimming and endurance game activities Training Frequency: 3-5 days per week Training Intensity: 40-60% of heart rate reserve/vo 2peak, or 5-6 on the modified Borg-scale Training Duration: 20-60 minutes of continuous or intermittent (in sessions lasting 10 or more minutes) aerobic activity Muscular Strength and Endurance Kind of activity: Resistance training of the major muscle groups of upper and lower limbs Training Frequency: 2-3 days per week Training Intensity: 60-80% of the 1RM Training Duration: 8-15 repetitions, multiple set regimens (2-5 sets) may provide greater benefits Flexibility Kind of activity: Stretches for the major muscle groups that should include appropriate static and/or dynamic techniques Training Frequency: 2-3 days per week Training Duration: 4 repetitions, held for 10-30 seconds AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE.
