Brief Summary:
postoperative pain; It is acute pain that begins with surgical trauma and decreases during tissue healing. Although it is predictable and treatable, it still seems to be an important problem today. Many researchers in the literature have reported that approximately 50-70% of patients receive inadequate pain treatment after surgery, and many patients complain of moderate or severe pain. Poor control of postoperative pain may cause deep venous thrombosis and delayed wound healing, increased hospital stay, and delayed return to daily life activities. This may negatively affect the quality of life and recovery of patients Therefore, there is a need for methods that increase pain control, such as non-pharmacological methods, to accelerate postoperative recovery. Nurses in postoperative pain management; they help control pain with non-pharmacological methods such as breathing exercises, positioning, relaxation techniques, massage, listening to music, hot application, cold application, and distraction.
Detailed Description:
This study was designed as a quasi-experimental study to examine the effect of breathing exercise on pain in patients undergoing Total Knee Replacement surgery. This exercise is utterly simple, takes almost no time, requires no equipment and can be done anywhere. Although you can do the exercise in any position, sit with your back straight while learning the exercise. Place the tip of your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth, and keep it there through the entire exercise. You will be exhaling through your mouth around your tongue; try pursing your lips slightly if this seems awkward.
* Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
* Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
* Hold your breath for a count of seven.
* Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
* This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.
This study was designed as a quasi-experimental study to examine the effect of breathing exercise on pain in patients undergoing Total Knee Replacement surgery. Note that you always inhale quietly through your nose and exhale audibly through your mouth. The tip of your tongue stays in position the whole time. Exhalation takes twice as long as inhalation. The absolute time you spend on each phase is not important; the ratio of 4:7:8 is important. If you have trouble holding your breath, speed the exercise up but keep to the ratio of 4:7:8 for the three phases. With practice you can slow it all down and get used to inhaling and exhaling more and more deeply.
This exercise is a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system. Unlike tranquilizing drugs, which are often effective when you first take them but then lose their power over time, this exercise is subtle when you first try it but gains in power with repetition and practice. Do it at least twice a day. You cannot do it too frequently. Do not do more than four breaths at one time for the first month of practice. Later, if you wish, you can extend it to eight breaths. If you feel a little lightheaded when you first breathe this way, do not be concerned; it will pass.
