Abstract

 

The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of respiratory care bundle on the pulmonary function test measurement and Respiratory distress parameters among patients with respiratory problems. A Quasi experimental study was conducted on patients with respiratory problems (n=60) at MMIMSR and Hospital, who were divided into two groups; experimental and control group. The data was collected by peak flow meter, respiratory distress parameters performa and semantic differential scale regarding patient satisfaction. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of level of PEFR (p=0.17) after administration of respiratory care bundle. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of respiratory rate (p=0.43), accessary muscle use (p=0.55), grunting at end of expiration (p=0.44) and nasal flaring (p=0.76) except restlessness (p=0.00*). Respiratory Care Bundle is not an effective therapy to improve pulmonary function test measurement and to reduce respiratory distress parameters.
