Summary

Pneumonia, marked by lung inflammation, leads to symptoms like fever and difficulty breathing, affecting millions globally. It particularly impacts children and the elderly. Lung function is altered, reducing capacities and obstructing airflow. Post-recovery, patients may experience dyspnea due to lingering fluids-deep breathing exercises, using teach-back training, aid rehabilitation. Combining teach-back with chest percussion in physiotherapy aims to enhance respiratory outcomes in pneumonia patients. This will be a randomized clinical trial sample size calculated by epitool sample size calculator which is 30 patients 15 in each group. Regular chest percussion involves a clapping technique in five drainage positions, with assisted suction. Teach-back breathing exercises will also be implemented in this group In Group A, individuals will perform teach-back breathing exercises with chest percussion. In Group B, a similar protocol will be followed without the teach-back breathing exercises. Data analysis, using SPSS version 21, will include the Shapiro-Wilk Test for normality assessment. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, independent sample t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests will be employed to analyze group measurements, changes over time, and differences between groups. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a thorough understanding of the study variables and measurements.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	percussions with teach-back breathing exercise	patient will receive Teach Back Breathing Exercises like pursed lip breathing, DE breathing and diaphragmatic breathing Teach-back breathing exercises refer to a method of instructing individuals in breathing techniques and then having them demonstrate or "teach back" the instructions to ensure comprehension and mastery. This educational approach is commonly used in healthcare settings, particularly when teaching patients how to perform various breathing exercises for therapeutic purposes. Patients were informed about the importance of regular chest percussion I will use the clapping technique which provided by cupped hand for 3 minutes in 5 positions of drainage (upper lobes-apical and posterior segment, apical and anterior segment, right upper lobe-posterior segment, left upper lobe-posterior segment, lower lobes- apical segment) with assisted suction three times/shift for four days, and then each patient will be observed.
OTHER	PERCUSSION	similar to Group A, each patient underwent individual interviews. Patients were educated on the significance of regular chest percussion. The clapping technique, executed with cupped hands, was applied for 3 minutes in five drainage positions (upper lobes - apical and posterior segment, apical and anterior segment, right upper lobe - posterior segment, left upper lobe - posterior segment, lower lobes - apical segment). This procedure, including assisted suction three times per shift, was administered for four consecutive days.
