Breathe Better: The Role of Pursed Lips Breathing Therapy in Chronic Bronchitis Patients
Subject
Breathing Patterns, Dyspnea, Pursed Lip Breathing, Chronic bronchitis
Description
Chronic bronchitis is an inflammatory disease of the bronchial respiratory
tract that lasts more than 3 months or several times in 2 years. Symptoms in
patients with chronic bronchitis can affect breathing patterns, including
dyspnea, respiratory frequency, depth of breathing, and oxygen saturation.
Providing Pursed Lip Breathing therapy can create resistance to the air
coming out of the lungs and open the airways to improve breathing patterns.
This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Pursed Lip Breathing
therapy on breathing patterns in patients with chronic bronchitis. This
descriptive, experimental research was conducted on a Chronic Bronchitis
patient. Patient in the Inpatient Room of a government hospital. The
implementation of Pursed Lip Breathing therapy was carried out for 4 days,
where each day, there was one session of 8-10 repetitions of abdominal
breathing followed by Pursed Lip Breathing therapy for 8 minutes. Data
analysis was explained descriptively daily to compare the improvement in
breathing patterns between pre and post-therapy values. The study results
showed significant improvement in breathing patterns, including the level of
dyspnea, depth of breathing, orthopnea, use of accessory muscles for
breathing, and vital signs, including RR, SPO2, and the patient's blood
pressure. This study concluded that Pursed Lip Breathing therapy effectively
improved breathing patterns in Chronic Bronchitis patients. The results of
this study indicate that pursed lip breathing therapy is safe to apply to
patients undergoing treatment. Nurses can apply pursed lip breathing
therapy and implement Indonesian Nursing Intervention Standards for
patients with breathing pattern disorders.
