Sponsor's own description
Bronchiectasis is the abnormal dilatation of the bronchi. Due to airway dilatation patient is unable to clear the mucus and risk of infection is increased. For mucus clearance used many breathing techniques employed along with or without mechanical devices. Many researches have shown the inconsistent results of energy conservation techniques along with breathing exercises among variety of cardiopulmonary disorders. This study will be conducted to determine the combined effects of energy conservation techniques with pursed lip breathing on functional independence and quality of life in patients of bronchiectasis. It will be a randomized clinical trial. Two groups will be taken under the age of 40 to 60 years and data will be collected from pulmonary wards of selected hospitals. Sample size will be 46 keeping the attrition rate 10%. St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) will be used to evaluate the quality of life of patients and 6 mint walk test is used to determine functional independence of bronchiectasis patients. After data collection, data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26.
