Exacerbated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease unspecified
Conditions
Interventions
Each new patient included in the study will be randomized and allocated into groups according to whether they are early rehabilitation or not, thus comprising two groups: early rehabilitation group (G
men: 220-age x 0.85) will be respected, as well as dyspnea and lower limb fatigue on the Borg scale between 4-6. Oxygen will be implemented if necessary and SpO2 at rest <85% or there is a drop during

Eligibility
Age
40 Years to 85 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Clinical diagnosis of COPD who present exacerbation of the disease according to GOLD (contacted at least 24 hours and at most 48 hours after the start of standard therapy for exacerbation of COPD); spontaneous breathing at the time of the assessment, in conditions to maintain dialogue; those who agree to participate in the research in a free and informed manner.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Drug users who cause chemical dependency; patients with neurological and orthopedic changes; patients using invasive mechanical ventilation; hemodynamic instability; presence of unstable angina; hx of myocardial infarction in the last six months; other lung diseases; patients over the age of 85 years; and those who do not obtain a diagnosis of COPD after pulmonary function assessment, with ratio values ??(forced expired volume in the first second / forced vital capacity) greater than 0.7 and forced expired volume in the first second greater than 80%.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to obtain positive results in arterial stiffness and cardiac endothelial and autonomic functions 30 days after early rehabilitation with elastic bands in the acute exacerbation phase of COPD. It is also expected that the beneficial results of early PR will still be better in the intervention group 30 days after hospital discharge. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to obtain from the study results associations between deltas of arterial stiffness and cardiac endothelial and autonomic functions with variables of functional performance and quadriceps muscle strength of these patients. | — |
