With the popularization of medical knowledge and the development of medical technology, people pay more and more attention to COPD. This paper mainly studies the effect of virtual reality technology combined with comprehensive lung rehabilitation on patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 60 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were selected to collect their general information, such as name, gender, and age. They were divided into the experimental group and control group, 30 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with virtual reality technology combined with lung rehabilitation, while the control group was treated with conventional rehabilitation. Patients in both groups needed medication and participated in a 30-minute disease description activity once a week. In addition, patients in the control group should walk for 20 minutes every day to monitor muscle fatigue. Breathing exercises are also carried out regularly. Patients are instructed to use their lips and abdomen for 5 minutes each time. The respiratory rate was 7 beats per minute. In addition to the routine training of the control group, the experimental group will also train the simulated bicycle for 20 minutes, which will be automatically saved on the computer after the training. After the experiment, the muscle function and motor ability of the two groups were evaluated, and the results were statistically analyzed. The total self-efficacy scores of patients before and after telemedicine technical support increased significantly (2.15 ± 0.21 before telemedicine technical support, 2.39 ± 0.20 after telemedicine technical support), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The results show that the application of virtual reality technology can improve the rehabilitation belief of patients and strengthen the training effect.

The Impact

Objective: To investigate the impact of self-management intervention on the effectiveness of emotional regulation in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Pulmonology Department of Jinnah hospital Lahore in Collaboration with community medicine department for Six months duration from March 2018 to August 2018. 86 consecutive chronic COPD patients were diagnosed in the stable phase. 43 patients in each group were divided into a control group and a randomized observation group. In the control group, the continuous feeding mode outside of a conventional hospital and an enhanced guide to self-care programs in the observation group (information about the disease, breathing exercises, emotions, home oxygen therapy, medication technique, healthy life behaviors and deteriorating action plans) were used to compare differences in results. Results: For six-month follow-up visits, personal hygiene behavior, physical education, cognitive symptoms and management of medical care results, and observation groups in both groups were more visible and the differences were statistically significant (p <0.05); Self-regulation of emotions regulation in two groups was increased, including positive effect, deterrence / anguish, anger / irritation and total results. In addition, the extent of growth in the observation group was clearer and the differences were statistically significant (p <0.05). Conclusion: intervention of the self-monitoring program can improve the self-control behavior of patients with COPD and is important for improving the effectiveness of regulation and prediction of emotions.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of clinical pharmacist-led medication therapy management (MTM) services for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Two hundred COPD patients admitted by the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Baoding No.1 Central Hospital during January 2019 and December 2020 were randomly assigned to a control group (n =100) and an experimental group (n =100). Patients in the control group received conventional treatment, while those in the experimental group were provided with MTM services based on the conventional treatment for comparative analysis of outcome measures, including use of antibacterials during hospital stay, length of stay (LoS), costs of hospitalization (CoH), cases of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and medication adherence (MA) and COPD assessment test (CAT) score one and six months after discharge. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group had reduced use of antibacterials during hospital stay, LoS, CoH, and ADR rate (P <0.05). After discharge, patients in both groups showed remarkable improvements in MA and CAT scores in comparison with their performances upon admission, and the experimental group exhibited better MA and higher CAT score than the control group, with the differences indicating statistical significance (P <0.05). Conclusion: MTM designed for COPD patients can improve pharmacist-led service quality and clinical outcomes of COPD. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.7.4518 How to cite this:Liu M, Liu J, Geng Z, Bai S.

The research achievements of artificial intelligence technology in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were explored, and the advantages and problems encountered in the development of intelligent nursing were analyzed. This paper presents the application of artificial intelligence in the emergency care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The method included 447 COPD patients in a randomized controlled trial to observe the improvement of quality of life at 4 and 12 months after artificial intelligence medical intervention. A prospective randomized controlled trial included 101 patients with COPD who underwent a 9-month web-based knowledge exercise on the prevention of acute exacerbation of COPD through artificial intelligence medicine and were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The results show that, in the experimental group and the control group, after 4 months, the quality of life does not change; after 12 months, compared with controls, the quality of life and emotional and psychological conditions have improved obviously. 29 patients who participated in the experiment and were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group showed satisfactory results. COPD hospitalized rate and length of hospital stay were decreased in the experimental group than in the control group. For single-factor analysis, artificial intelligence medical intervention has not achieved significant significance, and the experimental results have preliminarily confirmed the effectiveness of artificial intelligence medical treatment.

Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on the degree of breathlessness among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in West Java Province, Indonesia. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and no control group design. In total, 33 patients with COPD participated in this study using a consecutive sampling technique. The Modified Medical Research Council was used to measure the degree of breathlessness. A portable spirometer was used to assess Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). Results: The Mean±SD age of the study subjects was 44.5±3.17 years; 54.4% of the study participants were male, with healthy a body mass index. Approximately 42.4% of the studied patients experienced the fourth degree of breathlessness before the intervention. There was a reduction in the Mean±SD score of breathlessness from 3.42±0.53 to 1.64±0.13 after the intervention (P=0.001). There were improvements in the breathing frequency (Mean±SD: 11.8±4.9 vs 9.5±1.6), oxygen saturation (93.39±3.20 vs 95.47±4.21), and FEV1/FVC (0.5±0.12 vs 0.3±0.45) in the study subjects. Discussion: It is expected for the hospital, educational institutions, nurses, and patients to be able to apply diaphragmatic breathing exercises as one form of nursing care measure. This is because it is proven effective to reduce the degree of breathlessness.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The presence of anxiety and depression in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is often associated with greater disability, higher rates of exacerbations, increasedhospitalization and mortality. Many types of breathing exercises, such as Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB), Diaphragmatic Breathing (DBE), Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT), have been reported positivephysiological effects to reduces breathlessness, anxiety and depression in patients with COPD. This study aims to determine the effect in anxiety and depression after intervention of Inspiratory MuscleTraining (IMT) in COPD patients that received PLB.Methods: An experimental pre and post randomly study design, in August – September 2019. Control group and experimental group each performed PLB exercises while the experimental group got additionalIMT. To evaluate anxiety and depression status, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used.Results: Twenty subjects with COPD were recruited, no significant differences of HADS score between both groups. After 6 weeks of intervention, the HADS score in each group decreased significantly, withdelta of HADS score in experimental group was greater than the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion: Improvement of HADS scores after additional IMT was better than PLB only in COPD patients.Keywords: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hospital anxiety and depression scale; inspiratory muscle training; pursed lips breathing.

Purpose: To understand the role of bronchoscopy in the treatment of chest CT images for patients with acute exacerbation of emphysema phenotype chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: 89 cases with chest CT images suggesting acute exacerbation of emphysema phenotype COPD were included and divided into the experimental group and the control group according to whether underwent bronchoscopy. Arterial blood gas indexes (pH value, PaO2, PaCO2), total glucocorticoid usage, length of stay, serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: The hospitalization time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (11.88 ± 8.61 d vs. 16.50 ± 12.15 d, P = 0 045); the total use of methylprednisolone test group was 213.66 ± 32.07mg, and the control group was 250.83 ± 102.55 mg. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0 028). The trend of repeated analysis of variance (F = 12 11,P = 0 001) were statistically significant. PaCO2 significantly decreased before and after the test in the experimental group (49.40 14.85 mmhg vs. 43.30 12.48 mmhg, P = 0.000). Plasma TNF-α and IL-6 decreased and IL-10 increased before and after the test. TNF-α and IL-6 increased and IL-10 decreased before and after the control group test, and the changes and trends of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 before and after the two groups were statistically different (P = 0.000). These symptoms can be analyzed using CT imaging. Conclusion: In patients with acute exacerbation of emphysema phenotype COPD who are initially ineffective, bronchoscopy, alveolar lavage, and anti-contamination brush sampling guide anti-infective treatment can improve patient ventilation, and reduce glucocorticoid consumption.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can face increased resistance of airflow, air trapping, and lung hyperinflation. This condition can also cause decreased lung ventilation functions. Using a pursed lips breathing exercise can strengthen respiratory muscles that can improve oxygen saturation by maintaining airflow to bronchus and its branches and alveolus which then can prevent collapse in bronchiolus. The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of pursed lips breathing exercises on the oxygen saturation levels in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease in Persahabatan hospital, Jakarta. The design was quasi experimental, with a control group pre-post test design. A random sampling technique was used in the study. The exercise was provided to the intervention group for six days. The findings showed that the lung ventilation function is significantly different between preand post-intervention for both groups (p=0.00). Further, the average lung ventilation function in the intervention group is significantly different from that of the control group after intervention (p=0.012). In addition, while there is a significant relationship between subject age and the increase of the lung ventilation score (p=0.001), there was no relationship between height and the increase of oxygen saturation (p=0.091) and no significant relationship between sex and the increase of oxygen saturation (p=0.346). Based on these findings, the pursed lips breathing exercise is recommended to patients with chronic obstructive lung disease in order to improve the level of oxygen saturation.   Keywords: Oxygen saturation, Pursed lips breathing exercise, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Introduction The oral cavity and pharynx have a rich sensory system composed of specialized receptors. The integrity of oropharyngeal sensation is thought to be fundamental for safe and efficient swallowing. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at risk for oropharyngeal sensory impairment due to frequent use of inhaled medications and comorbidities including gastroesophageal reflux disease. Objective This study aimed to describe and compare oral and oropharyngeal sensory function measured using noninstrumental clinical methods in adults with COPD and healthy controls. Method Participants included 27 adults (18 men, nine women) with a diagnosis of COPD and a mean age of 66.56 years ( SD = 8.68). The control group comprised 11 healthy adults (five men, six women) with a mean age of 60.09 years ( SD = 11.57). Spirometry measures confirmed reduced functional expiratory volumes (% predicted) in the COPD patients compared to the control participants. All participants completed a case history interview and underwent clinical evaluation of oral and oropharyngeal sensation by a speech-language pathologist. The sensory evaluation explored the detection of tactile and temperature stimuli delivered by cotton swab to six locations in the oral cavity and two in the oropharynx as well as identification of the taste of stimuli administered in 5-ml boluses to the mouth. Analyses explored the frequencies of accurate responses regarding stimulus location, temperature and taste between groups, and between age groups (“≤ 65 years” and “> 65 years”) within the COPD cohort. Results We found significantly higher frequencies of reported use of inhaled medications ( p < .001) and xerostomia ( p = .003) in the COPD cohort. Oral cavity thermal sensation ( p = .009) was reduced in the COPD participants, and a significant age-related decline in gustatory sensation was found in the COPD group ( p = .018). Conclusion This study found that most of the measures of oral and oropharyngeal sensation remained intact in the COPD group. Oral thermal sensation was impaired in individuals with COPD, and reduced gustatory sensation was observed in the older COPD participants. Possible links between these results and the use of inhaled medication by individuals with COPD are discussed.
