ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of electrical stimulation breath training on lung function of patients following pulmonary lobectomy. Methods 62 patients following pulmonary lobectomy were randomly allocated into experimental group (n=30 )and control group (n=32). The experimental group received a 4-week supervised electrical stimulation breath training program using an electric stimulus feedback trainer (20mins per time, 3 times per week);The control group received postoperative routine nursing. Cadiopulmonary function evaluation of 2 groups were tested before and after the experiment. The evaluation included the 6-min walking test (6MWD), FVC, FEV1,W,AT and VO2max/kg. Results After 4 week training, the value of 6MWD,W,FVC,FEV1 all improved, compared to the baseline value (P < 0.05) and the value of 6MWD,W,FVC,FEV1 were more obvious in experimental group, compared to control group(P<0.05). The AT value and the VO2max/kg value increased than the baseline value (P<0.05)and the improvement degree was more remarkable in experimental group than that in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electrical stimulation breath training can improve cardiopulmonary function of the patients following pulmonary lobectomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore effects of breath training and psychological induction to heart rate before coronary angiography with 64-slice spiral CT. Methods 100 cases are involved. All of them are divided into 2 groups randomizedly. Heart rate is counted before examination. Breath training and psychological induction are performed in one group. Results Heart rate decreases significantly in the group accepting training and induction. Conclusion It is effective to decrease heart rate and stablize heart rhythm for patients to accept breath training, psychological induction, and other relaxing training. Also, breath training makes patients to coordinate examination properly.
