简要总结
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. In Costophrenic assist, the therapist gives a quick stretch to the diaphragm and intercostals with repetitions. The patientt holds air in the lungs. As the patient gets ready to cough, the therapist performs a diaphragmatic assist. 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 costophrenic 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

结局指标
主要结局
Modified Borg Dyspnea (RPE) scale
时间窗: fourth week
The most popular tool for evaluating symptoms of breathlessness is the Modified Borg Dyspnoea Scale. RPE scales, despite being a subjective gauge of exercise intensity, are useful when utilised properly. The RPE scale has a 0 to10 scale with 0 being no exertion and 10 being maximum effort
Pulse Oximeter:
时间窗: fourth week
The oxygen saturation level of your blood can be measured with a non-invasive procedure called pulse oximetry. It can quickly identify even minute variations in oxygen levels. These levels demonstrate how well blood transports oxygen to your arms and legs, which are the extremities that are farthest from your heart
Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum Scale (BCSS)
时间窗: fourth week
The breathlessness, cough and sputum scale (BCSS) are a three-item scale that rates symptoms of dyspnea, cough and sputum on a Likert scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (severe symptoms)
Peak Flow Meter
时间窗: fourth week
A peak flow meter must be used by blowing forcefully into it. In liters per minute, the meter measures the forced air flow. When you exhale, the indicator on the device moves and gives you a reading on a scale of 1 to 10. When a person's airway function changes, it may be a sign that their asthma or COPD symptoms are getting worse. This is where a peak flow meter is useful
