Abstract：Objective To study the clinical effect of Dunhuang breathing tips and breathing guidance exercise train-ing on pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)elderly patients in stable stage,and to improve the lung function and exercise ability of elderly COPD patients.Methods 70 patients with COPD were divided into experimental group(n=35)and control group(n=35)by random number table method.The control group received routine treatment,nursing and rehabilitation training,and the experimental group received 2 months of Dunhuang breath-ing guide exercise training based on the control group.Pulmonary function index,6-minute walking test(6MWT)walk-ing distance,modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale(mMRC)and COPD assessment test(CAT)were evalua-ted before and after intervention.Results After intervention,forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),forced vi-tal capacity(FVC)and FEV1/FVC(％)of experimental group patients were significantly higher than those of control group(all P＜0.05).The walking distance of 6 min(6 MWD)increased significantly compared with that before training.Score of mMRC and CAT were significantly decreased(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The Dunhuang breathing tips breath-ing guide exercise can improve the lung function of elderly COPD patients,accelerate the recovery of the body,and im-prove the symptoms of dyspnea,which has high clinical application value.
