Effect of Strelnikova Breathing Technique on Respiratory Parameters in Children with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in Smch

Abstract

Introduction India has the highest child mortality <5 years, mostly due to RTI (LRTI). These infections are broadly divided into upper RTI and lower RTI. Breathing exercises are designed to increase your lung capacity and maintain your daily breathing rhythm. OBJECTIVES

Methodology A quasi-experimental design was used with convenient sampling techniques. A sample size of 60 children aged 6 to 12 years with lower respiratory infections was selected. Of these, 30 children belonged to the experimental group and 30 children to the control group. The study environment was in SMCH pediatric ward. Data were collected using demographic variables and a pretest parameter checklist. Strelnikova exercised her for 5 days in her usual care, 3 times a day, and in the experimental group after the test she did for 5 days. It has been shown to be done by eye. The control group received a preliminary examination, no intervention, and only regular observations after 5 days. Post-test on day 5. Result The mean SPO 2 score before the test was 92.0 ± 1.84 and the mean score after the test was 98.87 ± 0.94. The mean pre-test score was 17.13 ± 1.46 and the mean post-test score was 23.27 ± 1.17. Conclusio This study shows that the Strelnikova breathing technique plays a key role in maintaining a range of respiratory parameters such as Spo², vital signs and breath sounds.
