View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) on anxiety levels and physiological parameters in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) following bronchoscopy. While PLB is known to improve oxygenation and ventilation in pulmonary rehabilitation, its specific impact on the immediate recovery period after bronchoscopy is understudied. The study aims to determine if nurse-led PLB intervention significantly improves heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and reduces anxiety compared to standard care.
