Abstract

Objective: The integration of physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech therapy (ST) into a triple therapy approach has gained recognition in the rehabilitation of patients. The integration of PT-OT-ST triple therapy with accelerated recovery strategies in pulmonary rehabilitation for elderly mechanically ventilated patients is anticipated to overcome the limitations of traditional rehabilitation approaches.

Methods: By applying stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 60 elderly patients over 60 years old requiring mechanical ventilation were selected. These patients were then divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Quality of life indicators were assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to evaluate changes in the patients' quality of life before the intervention and four weeks post-intervention.

Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the SF-36 scores between the two groups (P＞0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the SF-36 scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05).

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the combination of PT-OT-ST triple therapy with an accelerated recovery strategy is effective in pulmonary rehabilitation for elderly patients on mechanical ventilation.
