“…She rated her perception of effort at 9/10 and was unable to continue with the exercise test due to fatigue. In a study conducted by Kendrick et al (2000) they demonstrated that an improvement in MBS rating correlated with improvement in peak flow readings and oxygen saturation. However the improvement in dyspnoea was due to effect of inhalation therapy on reducing the acute bronchospasm.…”

“…These interventions gave the patient hope and a sense of improved well-being, which contributed to her successful weaning from the ventilator. Kendrick et al (2000) used the MBS in an emergency department, to enable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute bronchospasm to assess the improvement of their dyspnoea levels after inhalation therapy. The improvement in MBS scores correlated with improvement in the oxygen saturation and peak expiratory flow rates.…”

A case report to assess exercise testing post-mechanical ventilation, using functional activities while monitoring changes in the physiological parameters and subjective rating of perceived exertion. The case report subject was able to use the Modified Borg Scale to report her perception of perceived exertion during functional exercise testing. An increase in heart rate, respiratory rate and Modified Borg Scale rating was noted on progression through the exercise test. Difficulty was experienced with subject follow-up due to discharged from hospital as soon as the patient was considered to be medically stable. The subject was unable to complete the functional exercise test before discharge.

“…VAS-D has been recommended for daily assessment of dyspnea intensity (Mancini & Body 1999) or VAS in combination with other scales . A variant of numerical and verbal scale is the Borg scale using numbers anchored with corresponding text (Borg 1982;Kendrick, Baxi & Smith 2000). The Borg scale has also been used in advanced cancer patients (Chiu et al 2004).…”

“…Arterial oxygen saturation can also be measured via pulse oximetry, as long as the oximeter is portable and not heavy 9 . Dyspnea is one of the most significant symptoms occurring during the progression of COPD [11][12] . Severity of dyspnea cannot be evaluated satisfactorily by spirometric or gas analysis but the effort dyspnea determined at the end of exercise is the best assessor of dyspnea profile.…”

“…In this procedure 0-10 rated scale was used to estimate different levels of dyspnea and fatigue. The scaling was done from the statement of the patients according to their subjective sensation 11 . Leupoldt et al therefore examined verbal descriptors of dyspnea in patients with COPD at different intensity levels of dyspnea during rest, before and after 6 min walk test 13 .…”

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is known to be therapeutically useful for COPD patients. Objective: To evaluate the effects of combination of breathing exercises (pursed lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing) and lower extremity endurance training (LEET) as part of PR program on six minute walk distance (6MWD), on oxygen saturation (SpO 2 %), on the level of dyspnea and fatigue in patients with moderate stable COPD. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, BSMMU, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2011 on 116 male stable moderate COPD patients aged 50 to 65 years. They were enrolled from the out patient department (OPD) of the Department of Medicine of BSMMU and NIDCH Dhaka. 56 patients without PR constituted control group and experimental group included 60 patients intervened with PR. The experimental patients were advised to perform the PR program for 30 minutes duration per session at home twice daily, for consecutive 60 days along with the standard drug treatment of COPD. The control patients were advised to continue their standard drug treatment alone for consecutive 60 days. For the assessment of exercise tolerance, 6MWD, SpO 2 %, the level of dyspnea and fatigue of all subjects were recorded on day 0 and day 60 for both the groups. SpO 2 % was recorded by portable Pulse Oximeter and the level of dyspnea as well as fatigue were recorded by Modified Borg Scale. Statistical analysis was done by independent sample 't' test and paired sample 't' test. Results: Significant improvement were observed in 6MWD, SpO 2 %, the level of dyspnea and fatigue in patients who performed PR program. In addition, significant improvement in these parameters were observed after completing PR program compared to the beginning of the intervention. Conclusion: The study concludes that regular exercise of all components of PR program significantly improve exercise tolerance in COPD patients.
