Author(s): AR Bharathi*
Breathing is a mandatory involuntary activity of the body to sustain life. When normal breathing is disrupted it results in compromised homeostasis and health, in general. In patients suffering with respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), upper respiratory tract infection, asthma and bronchiectasis, breathing difficulty is predominantly seen. Inhalation therapy has been recommended as the favoured route of administration COPD treatment. Nebulizers are used in reversal of airways obstruction with bronchodilators, mucus clearance, and reduction in microbial load. Hence the present study was designed to assess the effectiveness of twin technique with nebulization on respiratory status among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis...
