Article Synopsis
- A 35-year-old pregnant woman with complete anterior placenta previa at 36 weeks gestation came for a routine check-up, reporting increased fatigue but no major concerns like bleeding or pain.
- During evaluation, her fetal heart rate was concerning, leading to a hospital referral, where a scan confirmed the same conditions without hemorrhage.
- After receiving antenatal steroids, she underwent a cesarean section with a smooth delivery, but experienced sudden cardiovascular collapse post-delivery due to hypotension and bradycardia.
Background: Little research is available to provide practical guidance to health care providers for exercise preparticipation screening and referral of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), including lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), to participate in remote, unsupervised exercise programs.
Research Question: What exercise preparticipation screening steps are essential to determine whether a patient with LAM is medically appropriate to participate in a remote, unsupervised exercise program?
Study Design And Methods: Sixteen experts in LAM and ILD participated in a two-round modified Delphi study, ranking their level of agreement for 10 statements related to unsupervised exercise training in LAM, with an a priori definition of consensus. Additionally, 60 patients with LAM completed a survey of the perceived risks and benefits of remote exercise training in LAM.
