Application Effect of Budigford Combined Breathing Exercises in Elderly Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Objective To explore the application effect of budigford combined with breathing exercises in elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 120 elderly COPD patients admitted to the hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The control group was treated with budigford,and the observation group was combined with breathing exercises on the basis of the control group.Inflammatory factors,lung function indexes and exercise endurance were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the levels of interleukin-6,interleukin-18 and tumor necrosis factor-α in two groups were lower than before treatment,and the observation group was lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Peak expiratory flow rate,forced vital capacity,forced expiratory volume in the first second,and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity in the two groups were higher than before treatment,and the observation group was higher than the control group,the ratio of residual air volume in the total lung of the two groups were lower than before treatment,and the observation group was lower than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The 6-min walking distance of the two groups was longer than before treatment,and the observation group was longer than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of budigford combined with breathing exercises in elderly patients with stable COPD is remarkable,which can effectively reduce the inflammatory response of patients,improve their lung function,and enhance their exercise endurance.
