Objetivos: Comparar a força muscular respiratória, o pico de fluxo expiratório e a qualidade de vida no pré e no pós-operatório de pacientes submetidos à revascularização do miocárdio e analisar a correlação destes parâmetros com a mecânica pulmonar e a capacidade funcional no período pós-operatório. Materiais e métodos: Avaliou-se a força muscular respiratória, o pico de fluxo expiratório e a qualidade de vida de 12 pacientes submetidos a revascularização do miocárdio no pré-operatório e no quinto dia pós-operatório. O teste de caminhada de 6 minutos e avaliação da mecânica pulmonar foram analisados apenas no pós-operatório. Resultados: Houve aumento da pressão expiratória máxima, do pico de fluxo expiratório e da qualidade de vida no pós-operatório em relação ao pré-operatório, sem diferenças na pressão inspiratória máxima. O pico de fluxo expiratório correlacionou-se positivamente com a pressão expiratória máxima. A qualidade de vida pré-operatória associou-se com o gênero e com a resistência das vias aéreas. Não houve correlação entre os fatores analisados no pré-operatório com a complacência pulmonar e com o teste de caminhada de 6 minutos. Conclusão: Pacientes submetidos a cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio apresentam aumento da força muscular expiratória, do pico de fluxo expiratório e da qualidade de
Background: This study assessed the efficacy of immersive virtual reality (VR) as an adjunct in the management of treatment-related anxiety and depression among breast cancer outpatients undergoing chemotherapy at the University of the Philippines -Philippine General Hospital Cancer Institute. Methods:In this open-label phase II randomized control trial, participants were randomly assigned into two groups during their first cycle of chemotherapy e the intervention group who were subjected to immersive VR experience using VR Box 3D goggle sets plus standard-of-care and the control group who received standard-ofcare only. Anxiety and depression scores of at-risk breast cancer patients were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale -Pilipino (HADS-P) questionnaire before and after chemotherapy. The influence of clinico-demographic factors on the mean difference of HADS-P scores was explored. Pre-and postchemotherapy blood pressures, heart rates, and respiratory rates were also determined. Results:The investigators were able to screen 114 patients and 65.8% (n¼75) had a HADS-P score of 11. The proportion of patients who were at-risk to develop treatment-related anxiety and depression was 73.5% (n¼50) and 22.1% (n¼15), respectively. A total of 68 patients were included in the randomization. Statistically significant mean differences of j-2.71j and j-4.74j (p<0.05) in the pre-and postchemotherapy HADS-P scores between the control group and intervention group were reported. Changes in mean arterial pressures, heart rates, and respiratory rates pre-and post-chemotherapy were not statistically significant.Conclusions: In this study, the investigators observed that immersive VR could potentially decrease the level of treatment-related anxiety and depression of at-risk breast cancer outpatients undergoing chemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
