Abstract:
Pleural effusion, characterized by the accumulation of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura, presents significant challenges in patient management, particularly in cases of malignant pleural effusion. Despite various therapeutic options, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions specifically for pleural effusion patients, as current literature predominantly focuses on medical and surgical treatments. This comprehensive review aims to address this research gap by systematically analyzing the impact of physiotherapy on pleural effusion management, with a focus on symptom relief and improvement in quality of life. The objective is to determine the role of physiotherapy in reducing hospital stay and enhancing patient outcomes. Methodologically, this review synthesizes data from clinical studies and case reports that document physiotherapy interventions, such as breathing exercises, postural drainage, and mobilization techniques, in the treatment of pleural effusion. Our findings suggest that physiotherapy interventions can significantly alleviate dyspnoea and improve respiratory function, contributing to better overall patient outcomes. These results underscore the importance of incorporating physiotherapy into the standard care protocol for patients presenting with pleural effusion to optimize recovery and quality of life.
摘要:
胸腔积液,以顶骨和内脏胸膜之间的液体积聚为特征,在患者管理中提出了重大挑战,特别是在恶性胸腔积液的病例中。尽管有各种治疗选择,有必要评估针对胸腔积液患者的物理疗法干预措施的有效性,因为目前的文献主要集中在医学和手术治疗上。这篇全面的综述旨在通过系统分析理疗对胸腔积液管理的影响来解决这一研究空白。专注于症状缓解和生活质量的改善。目的是确定物理治疗在减少住院时间和提高患者预后方面的作用。方法上,这篇综述综合了来自临床研究和病例报告的数据,这些数据记录了物理治疗干预措施,比如呼吸练习,体位引流,和动员技术,在胸腔积液的治疗中。我们的研究结果表明,物理治疗干预可以显着缓解呼吸困难和改善呼吸功能,有助于更好的整体患者结果。这些结果强调了将物理疗法纳入出现胸腔积液的患者的标准护理方案以优化恢复和生活质量的重要性。
