ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review synthesizes the expanding evidence for pulmonary rehabilitation that has led to its recommended inclusion in the holistic care of people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), as well as discussing strategies that may maximize and sustain benefits. RECENT FINDINGS:
Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective intervention leading to significant improvements in exercise tolerance, symptoms, and quality of life for people with IPF. Improvements in symptoms and quality of life can persist longer term, whereas functional capacity does not; therefore, strategies to preserve functional capacity are an important area of research. Referral early in the disease course is encouraged to promote longer lasting effects. Evidence that high-intensity interval training may optimize benefits of exercise training is emerging. Supplemental oxygen is frequently used to manage exercise-induced desaturation, although its use as an adjunct therapy requires more evidence.SUMMARY:
Current evidence strongly supports the inclusion of pulmonary rehabilitation in the standard holistic care of IPF, with early participation encouraged. Further research is needed to establish the optimal exercise strategies, modalities and adjunct therapies that enhance outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation and promote longer lasting effects.
