Description

[Objective]<BR>We examined the effect of squeezing on asthma attack by using peak expiratory flow, oxygen saturation and number of sputum.<BR>[Object & Methods]<BR>We included inpatient children with bronchial asthma from 3 to 9 years old that was able to measure peak expiratory flow. The number of the children was 34 (24 boys and 10 girls).<BR>We separated children into a squeezing group and a control group. For a squeezing group immediately after they finished inhalation therapy, nurse started to squeeze sputum. When 15 minutes hadpassed after inhalation, we measured peak expiratory flow, oxygen saturation, and number of children who can let out sputum.<BR>[Result]<BR>The squeezing group showed improvement of peak expiratory flow, and a tendency of improvement for oxygen saturation. The squeezing group also showed better number of sputum than the control group.<BR>[Conclusion]<BR>Our results show that squeezing is effective for children with asthma attacks.
