Slow-deep breathing exercise (SDBE) while using a volume-oriented type of incentive spirometry (VIS) device (SDBE/VIS) is one of the techniques in chest physical therapy designed to improve lung volume and oxygenation. However, the immediate effect of SDBE/VIS paired with a sustained maximal inspiration (SMI) on diffusing lung capacity (DLC), has not been documented. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the immediate effect of SDBE/VIS paired with the SMI technique on DLC in healthy participants. Twenty healthy sedentary adults (11 males and 9 females) aged 20 to 23 years were recruited into this cross-over study and randomly assigned to one of 2 ordered groups; SDBE/VIS paired with SMI followed by SDBE/VIS alone or SDBE/VIS alone followed by SDBE/VIS with SMI. During each of the 2-testing sessions, the participants performed 3 sets of 5 SDBE/VIS trials which were controlled by ensuring that each participant reached their maximal vital capacity; derived from their pulmonary function test. The DLC for carbon monoxide (DLCO), alveolar volume (VA), and total lung capacity (TLC) was assessed prior to (baseline) and after each of the 5 experimental trials. A 3-min rest period was given between each set of 5 trials and 1 week between testing sessions. The results demonstrated that SDBE/VIS paired with the SMI technique significantly increased both the DLCO (mL/min/mmHg and %) and VA (L and %) when compared to the baseline values. Whereas, SDBE/VIS without using the SMI technique did not alter the DLCO, VA or the DLCO/VA. However, both SDBE/VIS with and without the SMI technique showed a significant increase the TLC (L and %), with the TLC from SDBE/VIS paired with SMI was significantly higher than when the SDBE /VIS was performed without using the SMI technique. Thus, it appears that performing SDBE/VIS exercised paired with the SMI technique has a significant and positive effect on DLC.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a procedure to remove the blood vessels from internal mammary artery, radial artery or vein saphenus and to the surface of the heart to create a bypass in coronary artery narrowing. Data taken from the patients with heart disease from medical department of rehabilitation H.Adam Malik Medan who undergoing coronary bypass graft surgery. From 73 patients with post-cardiac surgery who were referred to the Medical Rehabilitation, 49 people were post-CABG (in 2010), and 57 people in 2011. General anesthesia, diaphragmatic dysfunction, abdominal distension, changes in chest wall, surgical wound, pleural effusion, pain and dysfunction of the respiratory muscles, may lead to reduction in lung vital capasity of up to 55% post operative. Intervention were incentive spirometry and breathing exercise. The purposes of this study is knowing whether the intervention incentive spirometry and breathing exercise can more minimize the decline in lung capasity than breathing exercise intervention only on post-CABG in phase I. Experimental research with non-probability sampling two group pre test and post test design . Subjects of group I (n = 9) receive incentive spirometry (IS) and deep breathing exercises (DBE), while group II (n=9) receive only a deep breathing exercise. Data analysis with paired samples t-test suggested the mean value of vital capasity (VC) from group I (IS and DBE) was 73.78% (pre op) after 6 days postoperatively decreased to 59.56, average decline in 14.22, P = 0.002. While the VC on group II (DBE) was 74.11 after 6 days postoperatively decreased to 55.78. Average reduction was 18, 33, p value = 0.0001. There was no significantly differences between group I and group II from statistical analysis Independent t-test, with p-value = 0.512 (p>0.05). Conclusions of this study: There was a significant effect of incentives spirometry and deep breathing exercises in preventing the decrease of lung vital capasity in post-CABG patients, There was a significant influence provision of deep breathing exercises in preventing the decrease of lung vital capasity, There were no significant differences between treatment combinations of incentive spirometry and deep breathing exercises with deep breathing exercises only in preventing the decrease of lung vital capasity in post-CABG, with a p-value = 0.512

Pendahuluan: Penurunan fungsi paru merupakan masalah besar pada pasien pascaoperasi jantung. Berbagai teknik latihan napas telah dikembangkan fisioterapi di antaranya deep breathing exercie (DBE), namun teknik ini tidak memberikan informasi volume inspirasi saat latihan. Untuk mengatasi kelemahan latihan DBE maka ditambahkanlah program incentive spirometry.Tujuan penelitian untuk membuktikan penambahan latihan IS pada DBE lebih baik dalam meningkatkan FVC dan FEV1 pada pasien pascaoperasi jantung dibanding hanya DBE. Material dan metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan eksperimental dengan rancangan pretest-posttest control group design. Jumlah sampel penelitian 22 orang dan terbagi ke dalam dua kelompok. Kelompok Perlakuan 1 (KP1) mendapat perlakuan DBE, sedangkan Kelompok Perlakuan 2 (KP2) mendapat perlakuan IS dan DBE. Pengukuran FVC dan FEV1 menggunakan spirometri. Masing-masing kelompok mendapat perlakuan sehari setelah pascaoperasi sampai pasien pulang rawat inap. Hasil penelitian: Dari program DBE pada KP1 terjadi peningkatan FVC dengan nilai rerata pre test 1,33±0,41 liter dan post test 1,74±0,36 lite, dimana p<0,05, demikian juga terdapat peningkatan FEV1 dengan nilai rerata pretest 1,09±0,36 liter dan Posttest 1,46±0,49 liter, dengan p<0,05. Sementara program DBE dan IS pada KP2 terjadi peningkatan FVC dengan nilai rerata pre test 1,12±0,39 liter dan post test 1,84±0,54 liter, dengan nilai p<0,05. Demikian juga terjadi peningkatan rerata FEV1 pre test 1,01±0,40 liter dan post test 1,56±0,52 liter, dengan nilai p<0,05. Perbedaan peningkatan FVC intervensi DBE pada KP1 dan IS+DBE pada KP2 1,74±049 liter dan 1,82±0,54 liter dengan nilai p>0,05. Rerata FEV1 setelah  intervensi  DBE pada KP1 1,46±0,49 liter, dan  setelah intervensi DBE dan IS pada KP2 1,56±0,52 liter, dengan p>0,05. Perbedaan selisih peningkatan FVC  pada tambahan IS + DBE  dan DBE 0,7 liter dan 0,55 liter dan FEV1 0,41 liter dan 0,37 liter.  Simpulan: Disimpulkan bahwa latihan antara IS+DBE dan DBE   pada pasien pascaoperasi jantung sama-sama dapat meningkatkan FVC dan FEV1 secara bermakna, secara statistik selisih peningkatan FVC dan FEV1 antara IS+DBE dibanding DBE tidak bermakna.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The ventilation heterogeneity (VH) is reliably assessed by the multiple-breath nitrogen washout (MBNW), which provides indices of conductive (<i>S</i><sub>cond</sub>) and acinar (<i>S</i><sub>acin</sub>) VH as well as the lung clearance index (LCI), an index of global VH. VH can be alternatively measured by the poorly communicating fraction (PCF), that is, the ratio of total lung capacity by body plethysmography to alveolar volume from the single-breath lung diffusing capacity measurement. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Our objective was to assess VH by PCF and MBNW in patients with asthma and with COPD and to compare PCF and MBNW parameters in both patient groups. <b><i>Method:</i></b> We studied 35 asthmatic patients and 45 patients with COPD. Each patient performed spirometry, body plethysmography, diffusing capacity, and MBNW test. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Compared to COPD patients, asthmatics showed a significantly lesser degree of airflow obstruction and lung hyperinflation. In asthmatic patients, both PCF and LCI and <i>S</i><sub>acin</sub> values were significantly lower than the corresponding ones of COPD patients. In addition, in both patient groups, PCF showed a positive correlation with LCI (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.05) and <i>S</i><sub>acin</sub> (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.05), but not with <i>S</i><sub>cond</sub>. Lastly, COPD patients with PCF &#x3e;30% were highly likely to have a value ≥2 of the mMRC dyspnea scale. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> These results showed that PCF, a readily measure derived from routine pulmonary function testing, can provide a comprehensive measure of both global and acinar VH in asthma and in COPD patients and can be considered as a comparable tool to the well-established MBNW technique.

When you exercise and your muscles work harder, your body uses more oxygen and produces more carbon dioxide. To cope with this extra demand, your breathing has to increase from about 15 times a minute (12 litres of air) when you are resting, up to about 40–60 times a minute (100 litres of air) during exercise. Your circulation also speeds up to take the oxygen to the muscles so that they can keep moving. Any kind of exertion causes some change in vitals. Some amount of fluctuation in vitals after any kind of exertion occurs in every individual and is considered to be normal. But if there is extreme fluctuation in vitals even after mild or moderate form of exertion, it indicates some kind of abnormality or an increased stress on cardiovascular or respiratory system and needs attention.In any case if the vitals fluctuate during any kind of exertion it needs to be stabilized so that its harmful effects can be avoided. For these breathing exercises have been proven to be very beneficial. There are several types of breathing exercises such as deep breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing, etc. The need for the study is to compare the effectiveness of Pursed-Lip Breathing & Diaphragmatic Breathing exercise instabilizing the vitals after 6 MWT in young individuals. The objective of this study is to measure the exertion level of the individual, to assess the effect of pursed lip and diaphragmatic breathing exercises on vitals after exertion and also the comparison of both techniques. In the present study we took 60 subjects from saaii college, Kanpur. Method of data collection is random and study design is comparative study with study duration of 4 weeks. Subjects were divided into two equal groups. The paired samples t-test shows significant changes observed i.e., null hypothesis is rejected and alternate hypothesis is accepted and we observed that significant improvement along with effectiveness of pursed lip breathing on stabilizing vitals in overweight individuals.
