Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to check the effect of manual positioning in supine lying, side lying, and semi fowler's (450) Method 30 subjects diagnosed with hydropneumothorax with ICD. were included in this study. These subjects were allocated by convenient sampling method. RR, spo2, CC of all the three levels. (axillary level, 2nd intercostal space, xiphistrenum level.) Pretreatment and post treatment assessment was noted down according to the pulse oximeter and with measurement tape. These outcome measures were analyzed. Result Pre and post treatment protocol was analyzed by using paired t test. Data analysis showed extremely significance in group C for RR (p=<0.0001) spo2 (p=0.0006) CC axillary level (p=<0.0001) 2nd intercostal space (p=<0.0001) xiphistrenum level (<0.0001). Conclusion this study concludes that semi-fowlers position was more improved as compared to the two positions. Top Keywords Chest circumference, inter costal drainage, hydropneumothorax. Top |
