European Respiratory Society statement on frailty in adults with chronic lung disease

- Frailty is a complex, multidimensional syndrome characterised by a loss of physiological reserves that increases a person's susceptibility to adverse health outcomes. Most knowledge regarding frailty originates from geriatric medicine; however, awareness of its importance as a treatable trait for people with chronic respiratory disease (including asthma, COPD and interstitial lung disease) is emerging. A clearer understanding of frailty and its impact in chronic respiratory disease is a prerequisite to optimise clinical management in the future. This unmet need underpins the rationale for undertaking the present work. This European Respiratory Society statement synthesises current evidence and clinical insights from international experts and people affected by chronic respiratory conditions regarding frailty in adults with chronic respiratory disease. The scope includes coverage of frailty within international respiratory guidelines, prevalence and risk factors, review of clinical management options (including comprehensive geriatric care, rehabilitation, nutrition, pharmacological and psychological therapies) and identification of evidence gaps to inform future priority areas of research. Frailty is underrepresented in international respiratory guidelines, despite being common and related to increased hospitalisation and mortality. Validated screening instruments can detect frailty to prompt comprehensive assessment and personalised clinical management. Clinical trials targeting people with chronic respiratory disease and frailty are needed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we provide a brief overview of some of the outstanding sessions that were (co)organised by the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly during the 2022 European Respiratory Society International Congress, which was held in a hybrid format. Early Career Members from Assembly 9 summarised the content of the sessions, with the support of the Officers from the four Assembly groups: Respiratory Function Technologists and Scientists (Group 9.01); Physiotherapists (Group 9.02); Nurses (Group 9.03); and Psychologists and Behavioural Scientists (Group 9.04). The sessions covered the following topics: Recent advances in cardiopulmonary exercise and challenge testing; the role and new trends in physiotherapy, exercise and physical activity promotion interventions in chronic respiratory diseases; development of the international curriculum for respiratory nurses and nursing aspects in disease management; and treatment adherence, e-health interventions and post-coronavirus disease 2019 challenges. This Highlights article targets delegates who attended the Congress sessions, as well as those who were unable to attend, and provides valuable insight into the latest scientific data and emerging areas affecting the clinical practice of Allied Respiratory Professionals.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background The COVID-19 pandemic confirmed that respiratory nurses are critical healthcare providers.Limited knowledge is available about appropriate education to prepare nurses to deliver high-qualityrespiratory care. A survey was developed by the International Coalition for Respiratory Nursing (ICRN)group to identify the need for a respiratory nursing core curriculum.Method A 39-item survey was distributed to 33 respiratory nursing experts in 27 countries. Questionsasked about current roles, perception of need, expectations for a core curriculum project and respiratorycontent in nursing education in their countries.Results 30 responses from 25 countries were analysed; participants predominantly worked in academia(53.3%, 16/30) and clinical practice (40%, 12/30). In total, 97% (29/30) confirmed a need for a corerespiratory nursing curriculum. Post-registration nursing programmes at bachelor (83.3%, 25/30) andmasters (63.3%, 19/30) levels include internal/medical nursing care; less than half identified separaterespiratory nursing content. The core educational programme developed should include knowledge (70%,21/30), skills (60%, 18/30), and competencies (50%, 15/30), with separate paediatric and adult content.Conclusion Survey results confirm a wide variation in nursing education and respiratory nursing educationacross the world, with many countries lacking any formal educational programmes to prepare nursescapable of providing enhanced quality respiratory care. These findings support the need for a corerespiratory curriculum. To advance this significant work the ICRN group plans to conduct a Delphi studyto identify core curriculum requirements for respiratory nursing education at pre-registration and advancededucational levels to flexibly meet each country’s specific educational requirements for recognition ofrespiratory nursing speciality practice.
