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.

Conditions

  • Inhalation Injury

Interventions

OTHER

Pilates exercises

One-hour Pilates exercise program was given by a certified trainer to patients three times per week for 12 weeks. The exercise program followed the basic principles of the Pilates method. Our protocol comprised the following components of Pilates-based exercises: strength and stabilization, flexibility and range of motion, proper body alignment, balance, coordination, and body awareness. Resistance bands and 26 cm Pilates balls were used as supportive equipment. The exercise sections consisted of 5 minutes breathing, 10 minutes warm-up, 35 minutes conditioning phase and 10 minutes cool-down.

OTHER

Conventional physical therapy exercise program

Diaphragmatic deep breathing exercises, bronchial hygiene techniques, assisted cough, stretching exercises and ROM exercises for both upper and lower limbs for 45 minutes, 3 days/ week for 12 weeks.
