Abstract:
The investigation focused on differences in judgments of individuals experienced with breathlessness (due to chronic pulmonary disease, n = 30) and those without chronic experience (normal lung function, n = 30). The research had three major aims. The first tested whether symptomatic individuals made decisions based in logic and probability or some other means, such as natural assessment strategies. Participants were asked to judge the probability that certain symptom and activity descriptions would be associated with an episode of breathlessness. The results indicated symptomatic judgments based on individualized descriptors are subject to errors in logic and probability. Additionally, the results support the premise that experience with a symptom alters an individual's judgments concerning it. The second aim focused on cognitive representations and their associated influence on the perceptual analysis of breathlessness intensity by testing if the use of a typical cognitive symptom pattern (prototype) or specific remembered symptom instance (exemplar) of breathlessness influenced the determination of symptom intensity or response sensitivity (RS). Magnitude estimation techniques were used to evaluate judgments based on different (prototypes and exemplars) cognitive representations of intensity, using airflow resistance as a stimulus for breathlessness. The results demonstrated a decrease in sensitivity with a prototype and increased RS with an exemplar. This supports that judgments of breathlessness RS vary according to the cognitive representation used. The final aim tested whether cognitive prototypes of symptoms are present with breathlessness and whether these produce different patterns of response. Assuming the existence of a symptom prototype for breathlessness, the study tested whether the responses to two different but symmetrical statements about breathing status differed based on amount of experience with the symptom. The results demonstrated asymmetrical differences between groups and stimuli used supporting the existence and influence of a symptom prototype. Taken together the results suggest individuals make rational (experience-based judgments) versus logical (probability based) decisions concerning their symptoms. Cognitive representations of the symptomatic experience were found to influence judgments of intensity. Cognitive information about symptoms exists in the form of a symptom prototype.

Oxberry, Stephen Grantley. "Opioids for breathlessness in heart failure." Thesis, University of York, 2009. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.550494.

Full text
Abstract:
Breathlessness is a common and problematic symptom in heart failure. Opioids have traditionally been considered as analgesics, but a potential role for their use in breathlessness is beginning to emerge. This thesis commences with a review of the existing literature in support of a possible role for opioids in the management of breathless in heart failure. A systematic review of existing human symptom control studies in this thesis suggests that opioid administration may have a small but significant benefit in chronic heart failure. However, only six studies were included in the review and most were either small or of poor methodological quality. This presents a relative gap in the knowledge on this topic. A randomised controlled trial was therefore performed to assess the effect of opioids on breathlessness in chronic heart failure. This crossover trial involved the comparison of two oral opioids with placebo. Thirty-five participants completed the trial, making it the largest trial of its type in this area. Opioid administration was shown to be safe in this patient cohort. No statistically significant differences were demonstrated for breathlessness severity between treatments. Participants were subsequently invited to participate in a three month open label extension. Thirty three participants in total were followed up with thirteen remaining on active therapy. This is the first trial of its type in breathlessness in heart failure and represents the longest participant follow-up in this area. Whilst not as robust as the initial trial, this extension period revealed that opioid continuers rated a statistically significant improvement in breathlessness severity from baseline compared to non-continuers. Finally, a semi-structured interview study in ten participants with heart failure revealed for the first time that opioids are acceptable in this population and they describe troublesome symptoms that might respond to opioid treatment.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis formulates a practice-based approach to performances of breathlessness on the page. It investigates breathlessness as a subject of creative practice through performance writing, creating different works that function as material object, site as well as score for future performance permutations. These works each examine different aspects of breathlessness, with a focus on the corporeal, affect and between-ness. The relationship of these performance works to the body, affect, time and duration establish the performative possibilities of writing and how this specific form of artistic practice contributes to discourse surrounding live work. My research does not distinguish between the contributions of practice and critical analysis. The outcome of the research is three works, one of which is embedded within this document, and a critical analysis that explores the different ways breathlessness performs on the page. Key to my research is a negotiation of understandings of lessness. Breathless performance writing posits a concept of lessness as other than absence. The ability of the practice-based work to initiate experiences that engage with the body, time and duration also demonstrate forms through which writing can generate as well as directly participate in performance. This research contributes to the field of contemporary performance and theatre practice by defining the live in relation to writing as well as developing a concept of lessness. The distinction between writing and performance leads to unnecessary schisms between the two disciplines. This body of research demonstrates the ways in which performance writing bridges these disciplines to initiate live work. This research disrupts conventional and binary definitions of breathlessness, performance and writing. Performance writing initiates live experiences for audiences of one or many, unbound to any one point in time, capable of generating multiple but unique live encounters with performance.

Yorke, Janelle. "Quantification of breathlessness using descriptors in cardiopulmonary disease." Thesis, University of Salford, 2009. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/26979/.

Full text
Abstract:
Rationale: Breathlessness is a multidimensional construct reflected in different verbal descriptors. It is a perceptual experience that is complex and highly subjective. In cardiopulmonary disease breathlessness can be extremely debilitating and distressing. It is usually measured using scales such as visual analogue and Borg scales; or indirectly through report of activity limitation or quality of life. This thesis presents the development and validation of an instrument that measures overall breathlessness magnitude using descriptors that reflect its different aspects. Methods: Eighty-one breathlessness descriptors were administered to 123 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 129 with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and 106 with chronic heart failure. These were reduced to 34 items using hierarchical methods. Rasch analysis was then applied to inform decisions regarding further item removal and overall fit to the Rasch unidimensional model. Principal components analysis (PCA) tested whether items separated into discrete components. Validity and reliability of the new instrument was further assessed in a separate group of 53 patients with COPD, 46 with ILD and 65 with asthma. Results: After removal of items with hierarchical methods (n=47) and items that failed to fit the Rasch model (n=22), 12 items were retained. The 12-item set had good internal-reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.9) and fit to the model (x2 p=0.08). PCA identified two sub-components: 'physical' (n=7) and 'affective' (n=5). 'Affective' items represented more severe breathlessness. In the separate validation study, Dyspnoea-12 correlated with six-minute walk distance, St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, MRC dyspnea grade, and had good stability over time (ICCC=0.9, p<0.001). Conclusion: Dyspnoea-12 fulfills modern psychometric requirements for measurement. It provides a global score of breathlessness that incorporates both 'physical' and 'affective' aspects. It addresses the need for a comprehensive breathlessness instrument and is based on the language used by patients. It can measure breathlessness across several disease groups.

Abstract:
An increasingly common part of being human is living with chronic health problems for which management over time, and not cure, is the goal of medical treatment. One such chronic condition is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung disease caused by breathing-in smoke, dusts and chemicals, including tobacco smoke. This ethnographic study set out to explore how COPD is lived with and cared for in Uruguay, where rates of COPD are amongst the highest in South America and where most cases go undiagnosed. The aims of the research were to explore the following questions: a) what does it feel like to be breathless and how is COPD experienced within family and healthcare relationships? b) how is the lived-experience of COPD shaped by cultural, social, economic and political contexts? And, c) what are some of the challenges and opportunities for preventing and treating COPD? The objective of this ethnography is to contribute a unique case study to the anthropological literature on chronic illness both in terms of the disease under investigation and the cultural context. The thesis responds to a call in the literature for more sophisticated phenomenological approaches. By incorporating a multitude of field methods into ethnographic fieldwork I combine a sensorial medical anthropology approach and a political-economy of health perspective. The ethnography begins with a cultural and sensorial analysis of breathing and breathlessness in Uruguay in order to situate the expressions of this disease across a diverse group of participants. I argue that the experience of COPD is shaped by healthcare systems and inequalities and highlight two healthcare contexts where space is made for people to socially interpret sensations in the body. The thesis culminates in the critical assessment of public health goals and makes recommendations for improving COPD prevention and care in Uruguay.

Abstract:
Acute breathlessness or dyspnoea is the new onset of an unpleasant awareness of breathing, at rest or at a level of exercise, which did not previously cause symptoms. It is often associated with other symptoms—including wheeze, cough, chest pain, and palpitation—which, together with the patient’s comorbidities, help shape the differential diagnosis. Five disorders—decompensated heart failure, exacerbations of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism—account for 80% of diagnoses. In older patients, acute breathlessness often results from multiple interrelated pathologies (e.g. pneumonia on a background of COPD, triggering acute atrial fibrillation). This chapter describes the clinical approach to the patient presenting with acute breathlessness.

Abstract:
Chronic breathlessness (dyspnoea) can be defined as an unpleasant awareness of breathing at a level of exercise which would not cause symptoms in a healthy person of the same age (or which did not previously cause symptoms), persisting for more than 1 month. Breathlessness may be accompanied by other symptoms such as chest tightness, cough, or wheeze, which together with the patient’s comorbidities and risk factors for specific diseases help shape the differential diagnosis.

Abstract:
Objectives. To assess benefits and harms of nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions for breathlessness in adults with advanced cancer. Data sources. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, CINAHL®, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through early May 2020. Review methods. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with a comparison group evaluating benefits and/or harms, and cohort studies reporting harms. Two reviewers independently screened search results, serially abstracted data, assessed risk of bias, and graded strength of evidence (SOE) for key outcomes: breathlessness, anxiety, health-related quality of life, and exercise capacity. We performed meta-analyses when possible and calculated standardized mean differences (SMDs). Results. We included 48 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studies (4,029 patients). The most commonly reported cancer types were lung cancer and mesothelioma. The baseline level of breathlessness varied in severity. Several nonpharmacological interventions were effective for breathlessness, including fans (SMD -2.09 [95% confidence interval (CI) -3.81 to -0.37]) (SOE: moderate), bilevel ventilation (estimated slope difference -0.58 [95% CI -0.92 to -0.23]), acupressure/reflexology, and multicomponent nonpharmacological interventions (behavioral/psychoeducational combined with activity/rehabilitation and integrative medicine). For pharmacological interventions, opioids were not more effective than placebo (SOE: moderate) for improving breathlessness (SMD -0.14 [95% CI -0.47 to 0.18]) or exercise capacity (SOE: moderate); most studies were of exertional breathlessness. Different doses or routes of administration of opioids did not differ in effectiveness for breathlessness (SOE: low). Anxiolytics were not more effective than placebo for breathlessness (SOE: low). Evidence for other pharmacological interventions was limited. Opioids, bilevel ventilation, and activity/rehabilitation interventions had some harms compared to usual care. Conclusions. Some nonpharmacological interventions, including fans, acupressure/reflexology, multicomponent interventions, and bilevel ventilation, were effective for breathlessness in advanced cancer. Evidence did not support opioids or other pharmacological interventions within the limits of the identified studies. More research is needed on when the benefits of opioids may exceed harms for broader, longer term outcomes related to breathlessness in this population.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This study undertook a meta-synthesis of qualitative data with the aim of collating, synthesizing, and evaluating the current evidence regarding the experiences of singing for people with advanced chronic respiratory disease. Condition being studied: Advanced respiratory illnesses are disorders that impact the airways and other structures of the lung. People with lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) frequently experience progressive, frightening breathlessness, cough and fatigue, which affect their quality of life. Furthermore, people with advanced chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and their carers experience a high prevalence of loneliness and uncertainty, especially if breathlessness is felt to herald death and thus, require both psychological and practical supportive care to cope with their symptoms.
