Abstract
Acute respiratory infections are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in young children worldwide. They account for nearly 3.9 million deaths every year globally.Respiratory tract infections causes 4.5 million deaths among school age children every year, in developing countries. Chest physiotherapy plays an important role in lung parenchymal disease and pleural diseases. Need for the study: The airway surface for its efficiency depends on hydration and Chest physiotherapy. Hence I was keen to evaluate the effectiveness of consumption of warm water followed by postural drainage and percussion on respiratory status among children with selected respiratory infection like bronchitis, bronchiolitis, Bronchiectasis and pneumonia. Objectives of the study : 1. To assess the respiratory status of the children before postural drainage in experimental and control group. 2. To determine the effectiveness of consumption of warm water followed by postural drainage in experimental group 3. To assess the respiratory status of children after the Postural drainage in control group. 4. To compare the respiratory status of children between experimental and control group. 5. To associate the post test level of respiratory status with selected demographic variables in experimental and control group. Discussion: In experimental group the respiratory status of children are reduced their clinical parameters distress score from 11.33 to 4.17. They are able to reduce 7.16 score from baseline score. In control group 11.33 to 7.90 they are able to reduce 3.27 score from baseline score. Regarding bio-physiological parameter, statistically very highly significant in experimental group (P<0.001) and significant in control ( P< 0.01) groups. Conclusion: The study revealed that postural drainage and percussion along with consumption warm water was very effective than postural drainage alone, Very highly significant(P<0.001).
