Description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is defined as chronic airflow obstruction that is progressive. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly susceptible from respiratory exacerbations from viral respiratory tract infections. The pathological consequences of the COPD inflammation Induce series of physiological changes which eventually impact the quality of life and survival in the natural progress of COPD. Elastin proteolysis results in reduction in elastic recoil Pressures in the lungs, also the integrity and movement Of air in the bronchioles results in significant airway narrowing with air-trapping in lungs.

COPD is an increasingly important cause of morbidity, disability, and mortality worldwide. Researcher aimed to estimate global, regional, and national COPD prevalence and risk factors to guide policy and population interventions. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is attributable to household air pollution and is known to increase the Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), morbidity and mortality and women are most susceptible groups for the exposure. In order to understand the global risk among women with COPD due to exposure of household air pollutants.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Smoking remains the most important risk factor, but occupational exposures may play an essential role as well n 2019, Thirty-two sources of COPD prevalence rates, representing 17 countries and eight World Health Organization-classified regions, were identified and reviewed. Reported prevalence ranged from 0.23 to 18.3%. The lowest prevalence rates 0.2 to 2.5% were based on expert opinion. Sixteen studies had measured rates that could reasonably be extrapolated to an entire region or country.

The physiotherapist has a major role to assume in pre and post-exacerbation management of people with COPD and assess the patient and to put into place an individualized pulmonary rehabilitation program. In patients with a range of respiratory disorders such as chronic bronchitis, different technique are available for pulmonary rehabilitation, such as active cycle of breathing techniques which includes cycle of breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises and forced expiratory technique (FET), appears to have beneficial effects.

Rehabilitation exercise can lessen the possibility of the progressive exacerbation of the patient's condition, exerting an active role in improving their lung function and the quality of the patients' life. Therefore, researcher have designed a lung function exercise bottle, which is capable of adjusting the pressure according to the patient's needs. The blowpipe can be inserted into the bottle body and the patient can blow the air through the tube. the air pressure in the bottle can be adjusted, with the advantage of wider range of application, lower cost and more convenient.

Secretion production and retention is top most complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. First step of its management is removal of secretion as soon as possible to prevent infection and development of further complications. ACBT is one of most commonly used technique used in all times. But blow bottle is not only economic but also provide direct visual stimulus during performance to enhance patient interest. So it is necessity to find out the comparison of these two technique which will help to get the better quality of life, reduce the severity of disease and improve the pulmonary function.
