Abstract:
Objective To discuss the influence of respiratory training and prompting effective discharging of sputum for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in acute aggravation period. Methods 50 patients were randomized into the intervention group and the control group with 25 cases in each group.The intervention group received respiratory training and prompting effective discharging of sputum while the control was only given routine treatment and nursing.The ratio of first second expiration volume to forced vital capacity, oxygen partial pressure (PaO2),carben dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) ,blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)and the in-hospital days were compared between the two groups. Results The clinical effect in the intervention group was superior to that of the control group with shorter in-hospital days (P<0.01).Conclusion Better results could be obtained by application of respiratory training and prompting effective discharging of sputum for COPD patients in acute aggravation period.
