Aerobic Exercises on Persisted Post Burn Anemia

Fourty patients who have total body surface area ranged from 20% to 35% of burn, anemic and 8th to 16th week post burn will participate in this study, the patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups (20 patients for each group): Group A (Experimental Group) (Aerobic exercise and medical treatment):

Group B ( Control Group) (Medical treatment group):

Treatment and study plan

Aerobic exercise and medical treatment

Procedure

Aerobic exercise training was done for 30 minutes, day after day (3 sessions weekly) for 6 weeks. Each session started by warming up phase that was walking on treadmill for 5 minutes at 20% of target heart rate. Active phase after warming up was walking on treadmill for 20 min at 50-70 % of target heart rate. And cooling down phase after the active phase of exercise was walking on treadmill for 5 minutes at 20 % of the target heart rate

Medical treatment group

Dietary Supplement

patient received supplement in the form of one capsule daily, that contain iron supplement (10 mg) and multi vitamins (B1=0.6 mg;, B2=0.6 mg; B6=0.6 mg; B12= 1.2 mc and C=30 mg) as well as essential trace elements (Zinc=5 mg; Copper=0.44 mg; Folic acid=200 mc and Biotin=12 mc

Primary outcomes

  1. Red blood cells

    Time frame: pre intervention and re assessed after 6 weeks of treatment

    It will be drawn by the doctor and a specialist nurse. Red blood cell (RBC) count measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. The unit of measurements is cell per microliter.

    Normal RBC ranges are: Male: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells per microliter (cells/mcL) Female: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL.

  2. Hemoglobin

    Time frame: pre intervention and re assessed after 6 weeks of treatment

    It will be drawn by the doctor and a specialist nurse. The unit of measurement is grams/deciliter.

    Normal range for men is , 13.2 to 16.6 grams per deciliter. Normal range for women is, 11.6 to 15 grams per deciliter.

  3. Hematocrit

    Time frame: pre intervention and re assessed after 6 weeks of treatment

    It will be drawn by the doctor and a specialist nurse. The hematocrit is the percentage of packed RBCs in the whole blood. The hematocrit has the implied units of L/L, although it is usually reported as a percent.

    Normal range for Males: 41% to 50%. Normal range for Females: 36% to 44%.
