Abstract

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes bronchial hyperreactivity and leads to episodic symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing, which are reversible in nature. In emergency conditions, disturbances occur in the airway, breathing, and circulation, characterized by an increased respiratory rate (>30 breaths per minute) and decreased SpO₂ levels due to hypoxia. This condition requires immediate management as it can be life-threatening.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Buteyko breathing technique as a nursing intervention to improve oxygen saturation in asthma patients in the inpatient ward of Lavalette Hospital. A descriptive method in the form of a case study of nursing care was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Buteyko breathing technique in increasing oxygen saturation among asthma patients in Lavalette Hospital, Malang. The approach was based on the nursing process, including assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation, to provide an in-depth understanding of the intervention outcomes. The results showed an improvement in oxygen saturation and a decrease in respiratory rate after the implementation of the Buteyko breathing technique in asthma patients. Both patients demonstrated better breathing patterns, reduced shortness of breath, and increased independence in performing the breathing exercises. The Buteyko breathing technique is effective as a non-pharmacological intervention to enhance oxygenation and improve respiratory function in patients with asthma.
