Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of active cycle of breathing techniques ( ACBT ) on the respiratory function and quality of life in patieats undergoing mechanical ventilation .Methods A total of 65 patients with respiratory failure treated by mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into control group ( n=30) and ACBT group ( n=35) .The patients in ACBT group were treated by ACBT , and the patients in the control group were treated by conventional nursing care .Patients'vital signs , respiratory function and quality of life were compared.The level of physical recovery and quality of life were measured by the scale of the Barthel index and the activities of daily living (ADL), respectively.Results In the ACBT group, the mean time of mechanical ventilation was (24.0 ±8.9) h and the success rate of ventilator weaning was 77.1%, which were better than those of (75.0 ±6.7) h and 53.3%in the control group.There were significant differences between the groups (t=2.73,6.92, respectively;P<0.05).At the first day after ventilation, there was no significant difference in the score of ADL between the groups (P>0.05).But the score of ADL was significantly different at the third day (t=2.85,P<0.05).30.0% patients in the control group and 57.1% patients in the ACBT group had a good viability, the difference was significant (χ2 =6.47,P <0.05).Conclusions The active cycle of breathing techniques was useful in shortening the time of mechanical ventilation and can improve patients 'quality of life.
