Interventions

  • Pursed-Lip Breathing exercise and Routine Care — OTHER
    Pursed-Lip Breathing exercise will be done. Following a conscious inhalation through the nose, it involves exhaling slowly and in a controlled manner through pursed lips; this prolongs the exhalation phase compared to the normal inspiration-exhalation ratio.

Study Details

This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) on anxiety levels and physiological parameters in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) following bronchoscopy. While PLB is known to improve oxygenation and ventilation in pulmonary rehabilitation, its specific impact on the immediate recovery period after bronchoscopy is understudied. The study aims to determine if nurse-led PLB intervention significantly improves heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and reduces anxiety compared to standard care.

Arms

  • No Intervention: Routine Care
    There will be normal nursing care
  • Experimental: PLB + Routine Care
    Following a conscious inhalation through the nose, it involves exhaling slowly and in a controlled manner through pursed lips; this prolongs the exhalation phase compared to the normal inspiration-exhalation ratio.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in State Anxiety Level [ Time Frame: Baseline (Pre-procedure) and immediately after the bronchoscopy procedure (up to 30 minutes). ]
