| Abstract | ||
| Dyspnea and a higher volume of secretions are common complaints among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. As a result, there is a current tendency to adopt non-pharmacological approaches to help clear secretions, improve lung function, and relieve dyspnea. So, the aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of autogenic drainage and acupressure on the respiratory outcomes of non-invasive mechanically ventilated COPD patients. A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting: chest and general intensive care units at Assuit University Hospitals. Sixty non- invasive mechanically ventilated COPD patients recently admitted were included. Data was collected using two tools: tool I: patient assessment sheet, tool II respiratory outcome assessment sheet. Results: There was a highly significant reduction in the respiratory rate in study group after application of autogenic drainage and acupressure at 3rd and 7th day (p < 0.001), significance differences were found regarding PaO2, SaO2 before and after intervention between study and control groups at 7th day with P. value (0.004, 0.029and 0.005&0.005)respectively. Moreover, there was highly significance increase in the amount of sputum clearance at 7th day (p < 0.001), improvement with highly significance in dyspnea measures among study group patients 7th day (p < 0.005) after extubation and (p < 0.001) before discharge. Conclusion: applying autogenic drainage and acupressure had statistically significant positive effect on respiratory parameters outcomes on non invasive mechanically ventilated COPD Recommendations: provide educational program for nurses about AD and acupressure. | ||
