Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy of respiratory exercise in patients with tuberculous pleurisy (TBP).
Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted including 146 patients diagnosed with TBP and undergoing pleural effusion drainage in Shandong Public Health Clinical Center from June 2020 to December 2022, and the patients were randomly divided into the control group and the respiratory exercise observation group. Pleural effusion drainage time, the difference of pulmonary function, and the degree of pleural hypertrophy between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after treatment were studied.
Results: Compared with the control group, the pleural effusion drainage time of the observation group was shortened, and there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of lung function and the degree of pleural hypertrophy at 1 month after treatment, while the lung function indexes and the degree of pleural hypertrophy of the observation group were significantly improved compared with that of the control group at 3 months after treatment.
Conclusion: Respiratory exercise can shorten the drainage time of effusion in patients with TBP, and help to improve lung function and alleviate pleural hypertrophy adhesion.
