Zusammenfassung

Dieses Dokument der DGP ersetzt die Empfehlungen von 1998 und 2013. Anhand der aktuellen Datenlage und einer Konsensuskonferenz wurden Empfehlungen zu Indikationen, zur Auswahl und Durchführung der geeigneten Belastungsuntersuchungen sowie zu den technischen und personellen Voraussetzungen formuliert. Detaillierte Angaben werden zur Blutgasanalyse unter Belastung, zu Gehtests und Rechtsherzkatheter unter Belastung sowie zur Spiroergometrie und Stressechokardiografie gemacht. Der korrekte Einsatz von Belastungsuntersuchungen bei anstrengungsinduziertem Asthma, bei sport-, arbeits- bzw. rehabilitationsmedizinischen Fragestellungen, bei Adipositas, bei der präoperativen Risikostratifizierung und beim Therapiemonitoring pneumologischer Erkrankungen wird dargestellt.

Abstract

This document replaces the DGP recommendations published in 1998 and 2013. Based on recent studies and a consensus conference, the indications, choice and performance of the adequate exercise testing method and its necessary technical and staffing setting are discussed. Detailed recommendations are provided: for blood gas analysis and right heart catheterization during exercise, walk tests, spiroergometry, and stress echocardiography. The correct use of different exercise tests is discussed for specific situations in respiratory medicine: exercise induced asthma, obesity, monitoring of rehabilitation or therapeutical interventions, preoperative risk stratification, and evaluation in occupational medicine.
