Application of staged respiratory training in pulmonary rehabilitation nursing of patients with high spinal cord injury / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of staged respiratory training in pulmonary rehabilitation nursing of patients with high spinal cord injury.Methods:A total of 76 patients with high spinal cord injury in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the study subjects, and were divided into the control group and the observation group with random number table method, 38 cases each. The control group was given conventional respiratory training, while the observation group was given staged respiratory training. Both groups were intervened 6 days a week for 8 weeks. The differences of basic indexes, pulmonary ventilation function, respiratory muscle strength and incidence of pulmonary infection between the two groups before and after intervention were compared.Results:After 8 weeks of intervention, the blood oxygen saturation was 0.95±0.04 in the observation group and 0.90±0.04 in the control group, there was significant difference ( t value was 4.229, P<0.001). The percentages of predicted values of maximal vital capacity, forced expiratory vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1s, and maximal ventilation were (69.21±11.38)%, (61.83±11.53)%, (56.50±7.86)%, (51.62±8.73)% in the observation group after 8 weeks of intervention, and (56.70±14.65)%, (49.82±15.06)%, (45.61±10.32)%, (42.30±15.11)% in the control group, there was significant difference ( t values were 3.610-4.967, P<0.001). The inspiratory muscle strength index was (56.12±18.31) cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O= 0.098 kPa) in the observation group after intervention, and (46.61±11.62) cmH 2O in the control group, there was significant different ( t value was 2.806, P<0.01). The incidence of pulmonary infection was 5.26% (2/38) in the observation group and 15.78% (6/38) in the control group, there was no significant difference ( χ2 value was 2.235, P>0.05). Conclusions:Stage respiratory training can promote lung rehabilitation of patients with high spinal cord injury, which is worthy of promotion and application.
