Brief Summary:
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is caused by bacteria viruses fungi or parasites It is characterized primarily by inflammation of the alveoli in the lungs or by alveoli that are filled with fluid alveoli are microscopic sacs in the lungs that absorb oxygen The symptoms of pneumonia can develop suddenly over 24-48 hours or may show more slowly over several days Common symptoms of pneumonia are likely to have a cough which can be dry or may produce phlegm thick mucus that is yellow green brownish or bloodstained and breathing difficulty wheezing and chest tightness where the rate will be high and the rhythm will be rapid and shallow This activity encourages deep breathing allowing a patient body to relax Explain the patient that this exercise will help him or he can feel more relaxed Make the patient to imagine that heshe is blowing up a balloon Ask himher to take in a deep breath steadily and slowly blow up the huge balloon See the balloon getting bigger and bigger Now ask the patient to close the eyes and imagine the balloon floating into the air Let the patient continue blowing of balloons until he or she gets relaxed and calm Percussion is a technique involving rhythmic tapping or clapping on the chest or back serves as a means to move and loosen retained secretions within the airways This mechanical intervention helps in removing mucus from the bronchial walls and facilitates its expectoration and clearance

This research methodology is likely to employ a randomized clinical trial design dividing participants into two groups group A will be receiving the combined therapy Balloon blowing percussion for 7 days while the Group B will be given intervention as Buteyko breathing techniques ACBT Percussion and deep breathing for 3 weeks Parameters such as breath auscultation by stethoscope CASA Q questionnaire Pulmonary function test will likely be utilized to gauge the efficacy of the combined intervention versus standard treatments Anticipated outcomes encompass improvements in lung function metrics clearer breath sounds denoting improved airway clearance and potentially quicker recovery or shortened illness duration as compared to conventional treatments If successful this study could signify a more comprehensive and effective approach to manage pneumonia by combining specific therapies to enhance pulmonary functions and help in patients recovery Ultimately these findings could contribute significantly to use respiratory therapy for individuals suffering from pneumonia
