Abstract：Objective:To explore the effects of improved pursed-lip breathing training for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) in stable period.Method:The cases with COPD were selected and randomly divided into two groups.The A group was without pursed-lip breathing,the B group was with improved pursed-lip breathing training.The indices including the respiratory rate,arterial blood gas analysis(SaO2,PaO2,PaCO2),pulmonary function(FEV1),modified medical research council dyspnea scale(MMRC) and activities of daily living(ADL) of the two groups were examined on discharge and at 8 weeks after discharge respectively.Result:The B group was better than the A group,there were statistical significance on the respiratory rate,arterial blood gas analysis,MMRC and ADL between the two groups 8 weeks after discharge(P<0.05).Conclusion:The improved pursed-lip breathing training can effectually improve the respiratory function,partial pressure of oxygen and quality life of the patients with stable COPD.It is a simple and pragmatic breathing training method.
