Comparison of Anterior Chest Compression Assist and Abdominal Thrust Assist Technique COPD
- Conditions
- COPD
- Registration Number
- NCT05936801
- Lead Sponsor
- Riphah International University
- Brief Summary
A total 34 patients will be taken. 2 groups will be created to apply intervention. After signing consent form, 17 patients in group A will be given abdominal thrust assist technique and 17 patients in group B will be given anterior chest compression technique.
- Detailed Description
Patient is instructed to take in a deep breath and hold it. Then, just as the patient is instructed to cough, the therapist applies a quick push up and in under the diaphragm with the heel of the hand. In Anterior chest compression: the therapist places one arm across the patient's pectorals and the other parallel to it. After the patient takes a maximal breath, the therapist pushes down to help the patient cough. The greatest force is applied through the lower chest during expulsion. A total 34 patients will be taken. 2 groups will be created to apply intervention. After signing consent form, 17 patients in group A will be given abdominal thrust assist technique and 17 patients in group B will be given anterior chest compression technique. Baseline treatment given to both groups will include percussion and tapping. The data collected will then be analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25.
