Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

COPD Exacerbation Acute

Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); It is a common, treatable and preventable disease characterized by progressive and irreversible airflow limitation and has systemic effects with respiratory system involvement. Increased respiratory workload, decreased work .

Eligibility

Min Age: 40 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether two airway clearance techniques — airway oscillation (a device that vibrates the airways) and chest wall oscillation (a vest that vibrates the chest) — can improve breathing in people hospitalized with a COPD flare-up (acute exacerbation). **You may be eligible if...** - You are 40 years or older - You have severe COPD (classified as GOLD stage 3 or 4) - You have been admitted to the hospital for a COPD flare-up - You are willing to voluntarily participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had an asthma attack requiring hospitalization in the past 5 years - You have pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, or other lung conditions beyond COPD - You have advanced heart problems, severe kidney failure requiring dialysis, or serious cognitive impairment - Your shortness of breath is caused by something other than COPD (e.g., heart failure, pulmonary embolism) - You have conditions affecting leg strength that prevent exercise Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERCONTROL

DEVICEPEP DEVICE

Pursed Lips breathing exercise, Active Respiratory Techniques Cycle, Postural Drainage, Mobilization, Calisthenic Exercises, and Patient Education. Relaxation positions and energy conservation techniques were taught in Patient Education PEP training was applied using the Acapella device. In addition, participants were subjected to two sessions of 10 minutes each with the Acapella device. In the study, the Acapella device, capable of sustaining expiratory flow of at least 15 L/min for 3 seconds, was activated by taking a deep breath, holding the breath for 2-3 seconds, and then exhaling into the device.

DEVICEHFCWO DEVICE

Patients were provided with conventional exercises including Pursed Lips breathing exercise, Active Respiratory Techniques Cycle, Postural Drainage, Mobilization, Calisthenic Exercises, and Patient Education. Relaxation positions and energy conservation techniques were taught in Patient Education In addition, participants will receive High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) therapy twice a day for 10 minutes each. HFCWO training was applıed using the WEST device
