Effectiveness of Buteyko breathing technique on physiological parameters among children with bronchial asthma in selected Hospitals, Udaipur, Rajasthan

Ganpat Das Vaishnav and Deepak BV

Introduction: Respiratory disease are very often found in children, especially the respiratory infection. A scientific approach and accurate diagnosis will enable proper treatment and outcome. Asthma is one of the leading cause of chronic illness in childhood; this condition commonly appears before adolescence. The word asthma means struggling for breath. It is chronic inflammatory disorder of the lower airway due to temporary narrowing of the bronchi by bronchospasms, manifested as dyspnea, wheezing and excessive cough.
Aims and methods: The methods adopted for the present study was quantitative experimental research approach as the study aimed at development of buteyko breathing technique (BBT) for assessing the physiological parameters of 60 children with bronchial asthma using non probability sampling technique. Data collected by observational check list. Quasi experimental: non randomized control group design, the study was conducted in Geetanjali Hospital, Ananta Hospital & Pacific Hospital at Udaipur.
Result: The effectiveness of buteyko breathing technique on physiological parameters among children with bronchial asthma. The calculated values are greater than table value (13.6, 21.48, 153, 25.01) at 0.001 & 0.01 levels. Hence the research hypothesis (H1) was accepted that there is a significant difference between pre-test and post test score with respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, PEFR & BHT. There is an association pre-test of physiological parameters with their selected socio-demographic variables; hence the research hypothesis (H2) was accepted.
Conclusion: This study conducted that there was improvement in the level of quality life of children which indicates that the buteyko breathing technique is effective. The demographic variables of physiological parameters significantly associated with the pre-test level.
