Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the most common lung disease and major causes of disability and death in the world population. WHO estimates that by 2000, 2.74 million COPD people died, world wide. Copd is the most common disorder, affiliating 10-15% of adults over the age of 40 Yrs and prevalence is increasing. Flutter a positive expiratory pressure technique eliminates mucus from the bronchial airway and thus improves bronchial hygiene in chronic bronchitis patients. By using flutter device there was a statistically significant improvement in FEV1 and FVC, whether patients were pretreated with mucus clearance device there was a significant improvement in lung function compared to baseline with combined bronchodilator therapy. AIM : The aim of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of flutter mucous clearance device on lung function in COPD subjects with retained secretion. OBJECTIVES : • To study the effectiveness of flutter device on mucous clearance in copd subjects and retained secretion. • To study the effectiveness of lung function in COPD with retained secretion. MATERIALS AND METHODS : MATERIALS - Personal data, Flutter device, Stethoscope, Computerized Spirometer, Sputum box. METHODOLOGY : Study Design - Quasi experimenta study. Study Setting - The study was conducted at the outpatient department in JKKMMRF College of physiotherapy, and District Head Quarters Hospital, Erode, under the supervision of concerned authority. Study sampling - A total of 30 subject were selected by purposive random sampling method after due consideration to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were divided into Group A and Group B, with 15 subjects in each group. CONCLUSION : As the incidence of stress and chronic illness increase the challenge to the physiotherapist to treat Bronchitis (COPD) Patients. Flutter device increases the Lung function and reduce mucous retention. This study concluded that there was a significant effect of flutter Mucus clearance device on Lung function in COPD subjects with retained secretion.
