BACKGROUND Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are widespread pathologies that cause non-reversible airflow limitations as well a variety of extrapulmonary adverse effects. For these reasons, related to frequent hospitalizations and, consequently, high levels anxiety, depression, and stress. In this respect, relaxation in Virtual Reality (VR) integrated with savoring, which is the ability generate amplify positive emotions, can be used increase well-being CRDs patients. OBJECTIVE This pilot randomized controlled trial aimed investigate effectiveness two-week VR-based intervention savoring patients increasing emotional psychological well-being, relaxation, oxygen saturation (SpO2) decreasing negative emotions. METHODS study involved 45 hospitalized from Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit IRCCS INRCA Casatenovo. Alongside traditional pulmonary rehabilitation, experimental group (N = 23) took part four-session intervention, while active control 22) listened relaxing music. each session, experienced virtual scenario followed by exercise. Both groups filled out self-reported questionnaires before (T0), after (T1), one-month follow-up (T2), session. The group's VR acceptance sense presence were also measured. RESULTS Regarding primary outcomes, taking T0 T1 into account, repeated measures ANCOVAs revealed significant for decrease emotions compared group. changes maintained at T2. Concerning secondary reported presence. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest promote reduce clinical symptoms not only post-intervention, but long term. Indeed, effects help focus their experiences, thus counteracting consequences CRDs.

Background Due to a high number of patients affected by long COVID or post-COVID condition, an essential step address the long-term effects COVID-19 lies in development and implementation flexible accessible rehabilitation programs. Virtual reality (VR) technologies offer potential support traditional therapies with individualized at-home Objective This study aims provide overview existing scientific evidence on VR-assisted respiratory programs for condition synthesize results. Methods We conducted scoping review studies from 6 databases. PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, Web Science Social Sciences Citation Index, PEDro were searched using exploratory search strategy. The search, which was last updated February 2024, included peer-reviewed immersive VR applications providing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease condition. Exclusion criteria clinical inpatient settings, telemedicine, nonimmersive applications, gray literature. Nine publications this review. Findings extracted summarized according JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) method thematically categorized. Topics covered characteristics, physiotherapeutic concept, parameters, as well usability acceptability. Results 9 qualitative analysis published 2019-2023. Eight empirical included: 4 followed mixed methods design, 3 studies, 1 quantitative method. One data analyses. Four disease. demonstrated that VR-supported result positive initial outcomes terms physical psychological parameters. Particularly noteworthy increased motivation compliance patients. However, adverse lack are barriers innovative approach. Conclusions Overall, is promising technology Nevertheless, corresponding approaches still under need be more closely adapted needs users.

Spirometer is a pulmonary function test that assesses the strength of our lungs to measure maximum amount air breathed in and out. During physical therapy, spirometers are frequently employed evaluate lung capacity chest responsiveness. Yet, majority accessible market both digital come with high cost. which cannot be affordable for large population. A portable spirometer prototype designed measuring volume flow rate can also serve monitor patient's health progress, particularly post-recovery from respiratory ailments. such as COVID, asthma, etc. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken massive toll on medical infrastructure, this was especially true at inception project. proposed work based Arduino NANO It proves valuable individuals recovering their efficiency comfort own homes.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and patients with operable early-stage NSCLC are typically managed surgically. While effective, surgical resection can significantly impact pulmonary function quality life. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) a comprehensive, multimodal approach that an established cornerstone in treatment COPD. It has similarly demonstrated multiple benefits lung who have undergone lobectomy or by improving function, increasing exercise tolerance, nutritional status, providing psychological support, enhancing Despite this, PR for oftentimes not standardized, challenges to adherence remain. In this review, we examine components PR, role pre- postoperative settings NSCLC, implementation strategies future directions NSCLC.
