Acute effects of deep diaphragmatic breathing in COPD patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency.
This study investigated the impact of deep diaphragmatic breathing (DB) on blood gases, breathing pattern, pulmonary mechanics and dyspnoea in severe hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients recovering from an acute exacerbation. Transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Ptc,CO2) and oxygen (Ptc,O2) and arterial oxygen saturation (Sa,O2), were continuously moni...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise toward Degree of Breathlessness among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease at General Public Hospital in Indonesia: A Pilot Study
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on the degree of breathlessness among patients with COPD in West Java, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design, a pre and post-test without control design. A total of 33 patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) were joined in this study selected usi...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Diaphragmatic Movements in Sonographic Assessment and Disease Severity in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Introduction: Pulmonary hyperinflation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can increase the breathing rate and reduce diaphragmatic movements by pushing the diaphragms downward and limiting their movements; this, in fact, can affect the breathing process. The purpose of this study was to compare diaphragmatic movements in COPD patients and healthy ones and to evaluate ...
متن کاملComparison of Body Composition Indices of Chemical Warfare Veterans with Chronic Pulmonary Obstruction in Patients with Low and Moderate to High Disease Severity
Background and Aim: More than 100,000 Iranian veterans suffer from chemical damage caused by mustard gas. The aim of this study was to determine the body composition status of chemical warfare veterans with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. 97 chemical warfare veterans with COPD in Karaj, Iran were included in the study. The Patients were di...
متن کاملEffects of breathing maneuver and sitting posture on muscle activity in inspiratory accessory muscles in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND To determine the influence of breathing maneuver and sitting posture on tidal volume (TV), respiratory rate (RR), and muscle activity of the inspiratory accessory muscles in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS Twelve men with COPD participated in the study. Inductive respiratory plethysmography and surface electromyography were used to simultaneously...
