An interventional study of Anterior Chest Compression technique and Abdominal Thrust Technique in COPD, sponsored by Riphah International University. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-06-13.
Sponsored by Riphah International University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A total 34 patients will be taken. 2 groups will be created to apply intervention. After signing consent form, 17 patients in group A will be given abdominal thrust assist technique and 17 patients in group B will be given anterior chest compression technique.
Patient is instructed to take in a deep breath and hold it. Then, just as the patient is instructed to cough, the therapist applies a quick push up and in under the diaphragm with the heel of the hand. In Anterior chest compression: the therapist places one arm across the patient's pectorals and the other parallel to it. After the patient takes a maximal breath, the therapist pushes down to help the patient cough. The greatest force is applied through the lower chest during expulsion. A total 34 patients will be taken. 2 groups will be created to apply intervention. After signing consent form, 17 patients in group A will be given abdominal thrust assist technique and 17 patients in group B will be given anterior chest compression technique. Baseline treatment given to both groups will include percussion and tapping. The data collected will then be analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25.

Exclusion Criteria:
Baseline treatment given is percussion and vibration in side lying position. The therapist puts one arm across the patient's pectoral region to stabilize or compress the upper chest while the other arm is placed either parallel on the lower chest or abdomen below the xiphoid process. Inspiration is facilitated by the pressure on anterior chest, followed by a "hold." Just as the patient is instructed to cough, the therapist applies a quick force with both arms: down and back on the upper chest and up and back on the lower chest or abdomen. 3 sessions in a wk would be given on alternate days
Other: Anterior Chest Compression technique
Baseline treatment given is percussion and vibration in side lying position. It Can be used in both the supine and side lying positions. With the patient in the supine position, the therapist places the heel of one hand inferior to the patient's xiphoid process and below the patient's lower ribs.
Other: Abdominal Thrust Technique
Baseline treatment given is percussion and vibration in side lying position. The therapist puts one arm across the patient's pectoral region to stabilize or compress the upper chest while the other arm is placed either parallel on the lower chest or abdomen below the xiphoid process.

It Can be used in both the supine and side lying positions. With the patient in the supine position, the therapist places the heel of one hand inferior to the patient's xiphoid process and below the patient's lower ribs.
