[Clinical aspects of rehabilitation potential in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]
Aim:
To reveal and evaluate clinical signs influencing rehabilitation potential in COPD patients.
Material And Methods:
Clinical findings in COPD patients were analysed at medical and social expert examination (MSEE).
Results:
Progression of the pathological process is associated with aggravation of chest pain, fever, sputum discharge at coughing. Cough and dyspnea occurred in all the examinees irrespective of the disease etiology. Severity of respiratory failure correlated with severity of COPD. Respiratory and circulatory failure aggravate quality of life. The study determined clinical signs in patients with COPD of various etiology which influence rehabilitation potential of COPD patients. This helped specification of disability criteria and certification. Conclusion. In MSEE of COPD patients it is necessary to base on the patient's complaints, duration of the disease, severity of functional respiratory and circulation failure, complications, social problems.
