Brief Summary:
Inhalation injury is a composite of multiple insults including: supraglottic thermal injury, subglottic airway and alveolar poisoning, and systemic poisoning from absorbed small molecule toxins. These contaminant insults independently affect each of the pulmonary functions as well as having a direct effect on systemic physiology. Further, anatomic characteristics can predispose patients to inhalation injury. For example, an infant will develop airway obstructions much faster than an adult due to reduced airway diameter. Understanding the contributions of each of these pathologies to the patient's disease is critical to managing inhalation injury.
Detailed Description:
Extra lung mucus secretions, injured mucosa, contaminants, and aspirated substances should be handled in their early stages. In the case of fibrinous material transudates, compromised mucociliary secretions and mucosal slough must be cleared. There are different methods to assist the clearance of secretions as bronchoscopy, ventilator, mucolytics, suction, and chest physiotherapy.
In Pilates method (PM), several muscles are activated, including the muscles involved in breathing, especially to improve the expiratory function, which remains contracted during the inspiratory and expiratory phase. Breathing control is fundamental during the execution of PM exercises, where the practitioner learns how to breathe properly as an essential part of each exercise through forceful exhaling followed by complete inhaling. Thus, adequate breathing aids in controlling movements, and therefore, the method can be regarded as an indirect strategy for respiratory muscle training. It is known that poor control of breathing can result in compensation and lung volumes and respiratory muscle performance, with several factors involved.
