Summary
Pneumonia is a major cause of illness and death in children, leading to breathing difficulties and reduced oxygen levels due to impaired gas exchange. Non-pharmacological techniques like balloon blowing and Bubble PEP are simple, engaging methods used to improve respiratory function. This randomized clinical trial will compare the effects of Balloon Blowing Therapy and Bubble PEP on oxygen saturation, dyspnea, and enjoyment in 40 children with pediatric pneumonia over one week.
