Effects of remote ischaemic preconditioning on vascular and general surgery patients’ outcomes (2019)

Ahmed, Khalid

Effects of remote ischaemic preconditioning on vascular and general surgery patients’ outcomes (2019)

Ahmed, Khalid

Abstract:

Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been suggested as a non-invasive treatment option in many recent studies. The focus of this thesis is to evaluate the possible effect of this on major health problems in vascular and general surgery patients. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury is the third leading cause of intra-hospital acute kidney disease, accounting for 11% of all cases; the protective role of RIPC has been highlighted in recent reviews. The author has utilised Bayesian statistics and the Markov chain Monte Carlo method to compare direct and indirect evidence, and has conducted a comprehensive systematic review and network meta-analysis for randomised controlled trials that have examined preventive methods. The network compared RIPC against 43 other interventions. In total, 42,273 patients and 44 interventions in 197 trials were included. Intermittent claudication is a common presentation with no discernible benefit from surgical options in the early and moderate ...

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic, progressive disease with significant cardiovascular risk. Symptoms include pain in leg muscles on walking, relieved by rest (intermittent claudication). Treatment aims to maintain or improve quality of life (QoL) by minimising ischaemic symptoms and preventing progression to vascular occlusion. Management strategies include exercise-based interventions. Research from 1989 to 2008 was systematically reviewed to identify the QoL impact of exercise-based interventions in patients with intermittent claudication. Twenty-three studies were identified. Five were randomized controlled trials. Studies were summarized in terms of exercise interventions, QoL measures used and QoL findings. The majority used a generic QoL instrument; most commonly the Short ...

One-year effect of a supervised exercise programme on functional capacity and quality of life in peripheral arterial disease. (2013)

Abstract:

The original article is available at <a href="http://informahealthcare.com">http://informahealthcare.com</a>
PURPOSE: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic, progressive disease with a significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk burden and a considerable impact on functional capacity and quality of life (QoL). Exercise programmes result in significant improvements in walking distances but long-term effects are uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the one-year effects of participation in a 12-week supervised exercise programme on functional capacity and QoL for PAD patients. METHODS: Patients were randomly allocated to a control (n = 16) or an exercise (n = 28) group. Data regarding functional capacity (Walking Impairment Questionnaire WIQ), disease-specific QoL (Intermittent Claudication Questionnaire ICQ) and generic QoL (SF-36) were collected at baseline, 12 weeks and 1 year.</p&g...

Quality of Life and Functional Capacity following Peripheral Arterial Disease Exercise Programme (2010)

Guidon, Marie; McGee, Hannah; Kelly, Cathal

Abstract:

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of generalised atherosclerotic disease in which the arterial lumen becomes progressively narrowed by atherosclerotic plaques. This results in reduced blood flow to the tissues causing pain on exercise, relieved by rest (Intermittent Claudication [IC]). As PAD is a chronic, progressive disease with a significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk burden it has a considerable impact on functional capacity and quality of life (QOL). Current evidence suggests that 27 million people in Europe and North America have PAD1. The main aim of treatment is maintenance or improvement in quality of life by eliminating ischaemic symptoms and preventing progression to vascular occlusion. The use of patient-based measures of treatment effect including functional capacity and disease-specific quality of life questionnaires has been recommended.

Resistance exercise intervention for lower leg vascular disease (2021)

Resistance exercise intervention for lower leg vascular disease (2021)

Hernon, Shannon

Abstract:

Implementation of a resistance exercise intervention into a healthy individuals daily routine is a challenge. The individual will undergo behavioural changes and will need to adapt or change their activities of daily living to compliment the new exercise intervention. Implementing an exercise intervention into the daily routine of an individual with a chronic progressive disease, such as intermittent claudication or chronic venous insufficiency, is more challenging. Continuous coaching, motivation and encouragement are needed particularly when participation in regular exercise may elicit painful or uncomfortable symptoms. This PhD thesis aims to highlight the importance of exercise intervention for lower leg vascular disease and to perform an in-depth and extensive review of existing exercise intervention protocols and devise a new evidence-based approach testing resistance (strength) exercise intervention for this population. The majority of individuals with moderate intermittent...
