Metabolism and Nutrition in Rehabilitation of the Patient with Respiratory Insufficiency

  • Chapter
Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Rehabilitation ((CURRENT REHAB))

Abstract

There has always been an understanding of the importance of proper breathing and eating in health and disease. In the past few decades, the relationships between metabolism and respiratory function, in general, and nutrition and ventilation in particular have been more closely investigated and have acquired growing importance in rehabilitation. Malnutrition, metabolic disorders, electrolyte disturbances and abnormalities of gas exchange can have profound effects on ventilation especially through their effects on the ventilatory muscles. When the diagnosis of a condition which may place the patient at risk of respiratory insufficiency is first made, nutritional and metabolic assessment becomes immediately important.
