Abstract
Acute e respiratory infections are a major cause e of morbidity and mortality in young children worldwide. They account for nearly 3.9 million deaths every year globally. Chest physiotherapy plays an import ant role by promoting drainage and ensuring normal lung expansion in parenchymal lung diseases and pleural dis eases . Hence I was keen to evaluate the effectiveness of nebulisation wit h postural drainage and percuss ion on respiratory status among children with s elected respiratory disorders like bronchitis, bronchiolitis , asthma and pneumonia. It was a quantitative approach , Quasi experiment al study design used children (60) with respiratory disorders within the age group of 3-5years receiving nebulisation with salbutamol using convenient sampling technique. Respiratory status assessment of clinical parameters (Rating Scale) and Bio physiological measurements(BPM) was done. For experiment al group- salbutamol nebulisation percuss ion and postural drainage for 6 minutes in 10 positions. For control group- salbutamol nebulisation alone given both morning and evening for 2days. Mean, standard deviation, t -test , pearson chi square test is used for statistical analysis . In experiment al group the respiratory disorder children are reduced their clinical parameter distress score from 11.33 t o 4.17 . They are able to reduce 7.16 s core from bas e line s core. In control group 11.33 t o 7.90 t hey are able to reduce 3.27 s core from bas e line score. Regarding bio physiological parameter, the reduction is statistically significant (P=0.001***) in both groups. Thus t he author concludes that Improvement in respiratory status seen in children who receive nebulisation along wit h postural drainage and percuss ion. Thus children with respiratory diseases will benefit from the intervention in improving their respiratory status by clearing the secretions .
