Popis: The purpose of the study is to analyze changes of the cardiopulmonary system indicators of hospitalized patients with respiratory diseases and underwent physical therapy. Materials and methods. The study was performed as a prospective case series study design. The study involved patients hospitalized with pneumonia, exacerbation of COPD and asthma, who had no contraindications to undergoing physical therapy. A total number of patients were 273 persons; 140 of them with pneumonia, 96 persons with exacerbation of COPD, 37 persons with asthma. Conducted surveys, anthropometric studies, clinical tests and instrumental studies. Results. COPD patients with acute exacerbation had a lower level of functional status of the cardio-respiratory system than patients with pneumonia or exacerbation of asthma. We found the lowest rates of excursion of the chest, blood saturation, VC, FEV1, PEF and higher than normal inhale rate. In addition, COPD patients did not experience statistically significant improvement during the assessment period in the majority of the analyzed parameters, except excursion of the chest and inhale rate. Conclusions. Acute exacerbation of COPD has a significant impact on the health of patients and significantly reduces the functional state of the respiratory system. The hospitalization period is not sufficient for full recovery. The rehabilitation of such patients should continue after discharge from the hospital.
