The Effect of Pursed-Lip Breathing Exercise on Anxiety and Physiological Parameters Post-Bronchoscopy in Patients With COPD: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Fenerbahce University
Summary
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.

Interventions
Pursed-Lip Breathing exercise and Routine Care
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.
