To improve the level of dyspnea, SPO2, and RR among patients with asthma
Design
An Quasi-expermental (non-equevelant ) design will be done to assess the asthmatic-induced dyspnea .
and the minimum sample size for each group will be 30 as calculated based on the confidence level
of 80% and 5% margin of error. The total sample size would be 90 subjects.
Settings and conduct
Imam hussain medical city

• Individuals with intellectual disabilities, dementia or mental health disorders.
• Patients with severe cardiopulmonary cases such as COPD or heart failure.
• Pregnant women.
• Patients with fever.
Intervention groups
The study measures respiratory conditions, including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and dyspnea, in 30 patients. The first experimental group (tripod position) performs pursed lip breathing exercises three times, followed by a 5-minute rest period. The second group (prostrate position) performs the same exercise three times, followed by a 5-minute rest period. The control group (control) follows traditional hospital interventions without intervention. The respiratory status is measured and re-evaluated after 10 minutes for comparison.
