物理疗法治疗支气管肺炎:病例报告

Abstract

The term bronchopneumonia describes an inflammation of the bronchioles centered in the lungs. A male patient, aged 77, complained of dyspnea for six months. The Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale showed grade 2 dyspnea, chest pain, cold, and fever for seven days. X-rays were done that revealed bronchopneumonia. The research aimed to understand the effect of chest physical therapy in patients admitted to high-density units. We, as physiotherapists, use a wide range of treatments, such as airway clearance procedures, early mobility, and active breathing exercises, all of which are useful in reducing the symptoms of pneumonia in this situation. The outcome measures used were the mMRC Dyspnea Scale, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Mobility Scale, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Early physiotherapy rehabilitation is beneficial in resolving bronchopneumonia and relieving dyspnea.
