A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on the Knowledge of Postoperative Patients Regarding Deep Breathing Exercises at J.K. Hospital & Research Centre, Bhopal (MP)
Abstract: Postoperative chest physiotherapy was implemented in the beginning of the 20th century; deep breathing exercise was one of the first methods. Consequently, several manual treatments including percussion, clapping, and vibration or shaking was developed to improvise bronchial drainage. Recently, mechanical breathing devices like incentive spirometry (IS), blow bottles, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were introduced into clinical practice (McMahon, 1915). Aim of the study: …
