Brief Summary

EFFECTS OF INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY ON DYSPNEA AND CHEST CLEARANCE IN ASTHMATIC PATIENTS DURING SEASONAL SMOG

Conditions

Shortness of Breath

Keywords

Spirometry,Asthma,Dyspnea and Chest clearance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Asthma Control test

  In asthma control test we use spirometer to check out the respiratory functions.

  12 weeks

• Incentive Spirometry

  An incentive spirometer is a handheld medical device that measures the volume of our breath. It helps our lungs recover after surgery or lung illness, keeping them active and free of fluid.

  12 weeks

Other Outcomes (2)

• Dyspnea-12

  12 weeks

• Cough and Sputum assessment questionnaire

  12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Incentive Spirometry

EXPERIMENTAL

12 weeks, 1 session per week; each session took about 1 hour.

Other: INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY; Other: Active cycle of breathing

Active Cycle of Breathing

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Breathing Control Deep Breathing Exercises or Thoracic Expansion Exercises Huffing or Forced Expiratory Technique (FET)

Other: Active cycle of breathing

Interventions

INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY OTHER

* Sit up and hold the device. * Then Place the mouthpiece spirometer in mouth and make a good seal over the mouthpiece with lips. * Breathe out (exhale) normally. * Breathe in (inhale) slowly. A piece in the incentive spirometer will rise as you breathe in. And try to get this piece to rise as high as you can. * Usually, there is a marker placed by your doctor that tells you how big of a breath you should take. A smaller piece in the spirometer looks like a ball or disk. * Your goal should be to make sure this ball stays in the middle of the chamber while you breathe in. * If you breathe in too fast, the ball will shoot to the top. * If you breathe in too slowly, the ball will stay at the bottom. Hold your breath for 3 to 5 seconds. Then slowly exhale.

Incentive Spirometry

Active cycle of breathing OTHER

Breathe in and out gently through your nose if you can. If you cannot, breathe through your mouth instead. If you breathe out through your mouth, it's best to use breathing control with 'pursed lips breathing'. keep your shoulders relaxed. Try closing your eyes to help you to focus on your breathing and to relax. Breathing control should continue until the person feels ready to progress to the other stages in the cycle. Try to keep your chest and shoulders relaxed. At the end of the breath in, hold the air in your lungs for 2-3 seconds before breathing out. Breathe out gently and relaxed. Repeat 3 - 5 times. Sit up straight with chin tilted slightly up and mouth open. Take a slow deep breath to fill lungs about three quarters full. Hold breath for two or three seconds. Exhale forcefully, but slowly, in a continuous exhalation to move mucus from the smaller to the larger airways
