IMPLEMENTASI RELAKSASI PERNAPASAN DENGAN TEKNIK BALLON BLOWING UNTUK PENINGKATAN SATURASI OKSIGEN PADA PASIEN PPOK DI RUMAH SAKIT TK II PUTRI HIJAU MEDAN

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung disorder characterized by impaired lung function with prolonged expiratory periods caused by airway narrowing, while oxygen saturation levels generally show little change. This study, entitled Implementation of Relaxation Using Balloon Blowing Technique to Improve Oxygen Saturation in COPD Patients at TK 11 Putri Hijau Hospital Medan, aims to apply respiratory relaxation using the balloon blowing technique to increase oxygen saturation in COPD patients. The research method is a case study design with a medical-surgical nursing care approach, consisting of assessment (patient identity history, chief complaint, current illness history, past medical history, family medical history), nursing diagnoses, interventions, and implententation of respiratory relaxation using the balloon blowing technique. Monitoring was carried out on respiratory rate and oxygen saturation in two COPD patients. The results showed that implementing respiratory relaxation using the balloon blowing technique improved oxygen saturation: in case l, oxygen saturation increased from 93% before the intervention to 99% after the intervention; in case 2, oxygen saturation increasedfrom 96% to 99% after the intervention. The study concludes that implementing relaxation using the balloon blowing technique can improve oxygen saturation and respiratory rate in COPD patients with ineffective breathing patterns.
