Anxiety in patients under Coronary Angiography leads to changes in cardiopulmonary parameters. The current study aimed to compare the effect of virtual reality and rhythmic breathing on the physiological parameters of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

In this clinical trial, 90 patients admitted to the cardiac care ward were studied in 2019-2020. They were selected by convenience sampling and randomly allocated into three groups: virtual reality, rhythmic breathing and control. Virtual reality and rhythmic breathing groups received intervention and the control group received routine care. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate; respiration rate and arterial oxygen saturation were measured before, half an hour and one hour after the intervention in three groups.

Findings revealed that the pattern of changes of the mean of respiration and heart rate was significantly different in all the three stages of measures in the three groups (P˂0.001). In the case of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and arterial oxygen saturation, the pattern of changes did not show a significant difference in the three groups (P>0.05).

The use of these methods can lead to modification of some physiological parameters. This means nurses can use these methods as non-invasive, without side effects, cheap and applicable methods in order to improve patients’ physiological parameters.

Patients undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience discomfort due to the insertion of needles into their arteriovenous fistula. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of EMLA ointment and lidocaine spray, along with the use of rhythmic breathing on the intensity of pain caused by the insertion of needles in the arteriovenous fistula among hemodialysis patients.

Methods & Materials:

 This study was a randomized clinical trial conducted on a total of 80 patients who were referred to Imam Khomeini and Golestan hospitals in Ahvaz in 2022. The numerical pain measurement scale was used as the data collection tool. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling method and then randomly allocated into two groups. In the EMLA ointment group (n=39), a total of 2 grams of EMLA ointment was applied to the target area 60 minutes before the hemodialysis procedure. In the lidocaine spray group with rhythmic breathing (n=41), 2 puffs of lidocaine spray were administered along with rhythmic breathing 5 minutes prior to needle insertion. The pain intensity was then measured and recorded. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 20, with a significance level set at 0.05.

The group receiving EMLA ointment and the group receiving lidocaine spray, with rhythmic breathing had mean pain scores of 1.95±1.09 and 2.12±1.10, respectively. Although the mean pain score in the EMLA ointment group was lower than that in the lidocaine spray group with rhythmic breathing, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.479).

The findings of this study indicate that both EMLA ointment and lidocaine spray, along with the use of rhythmic breathing, have comparable efficacy in reducing pain among hemodialysis patients. Therefore, considering the patient's condition, the utilization of either of these methods is recommended.

Anxiety in patients under Coronary angiography leads to changes in cardiopulmonary parameters. The current study aimed to compare the effect of virtual reality and rhythmic breathing on physiological parameters of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

In this clinical trial study, 90 patients admitted to the cardiac care ward were studied in 2019-2020. They were selected by convenience sampling and randomly allocated into three groups: virtual reality, rhythmic breathing and control. Virtual reality and rhythmic breathing groups received intervention and control group received routine care. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate; respiration rate and arterial oxygen saturation were measured before, half and one hour after the intervention in three groups. Data were analyzed by SPSS-16 using repeated measures analysis of variance and Chi-square.   

The results showed that the pattern of changes of the mean of respiration and heart rate was significantly difference in three times of measures in the three groups (p = 0.001). In the case of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and arterial oxygen saturation, the pattern of changes did not show a significant difference in the three groups (p >0.05).

The use of these methods can lead to modification of some physiological parameters, so the nurses can use these methods as non-invasive, without side effects, cheap and applicable to improve patients’ physiological parameters.

 Coronary angiography is a stressful procedure for patients, and about 80% of the patients have expressed their anxiety before angiography. The current study aimed to compare the effects of virtual reality and rhythmic breathing on the anxiety of patients undergoing coronary angiography at the hospital of Ali-Ibne Abitaleb in Zahedan City, Iran, in 2019.

Methods & Materials:

 This clinical trial study was performed on 90 patients hospitalized in the Cardiac Care Unit of Ali-Ebne Abitaleb Hospital in Zahedan in 2019. The study subjects were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into three groups: virtual reality, rhythmic breathing, and control. Anxiety was measured before, half an hour, and one hour after the intervention by Spielberger questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS v. 16. Data analysis was performed by repeated measures ANOVA and the Chi-square tests at a significant level of 0.05.

 The Mean±SD scores of the anxiety of the research samples before the intervention in the virtual reality, rhythmic breathing, and control group were 57.56±7.82, 57.10±6.49, and 56.33±6.74, respectively. The Mean±SD scores of the anxiety of the research samples 1 hour after the intervention in the virtual reality, rhythmic breathing, and control group were 42.30±7.46, 47.46±6.14, and 55.93±6.47, respectively. The repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant difference between the anxiety in the three groups during the intervention (P˂0.001). This difference was between the control group with the virtual reality group (P˂0.001) and the rhythmic breathing group (P=0.004). Thus, reducing the research samples’ anxiety during the intervention was significantly more in the virtual reality and rhythmic breathing group than the control group.

 The results showed that virtual reality and rhythmic breathing lead to reduced anxiety in patients undergoing angiography. The application of these methods is suggested as they are non-invasive, inexpensive, without complications, and easy to implement.

Rhythmic breathing exercises with the purpose of reducing anxiety and controlling patientschr('39') physiological characteristics can increase their ability to cope with illness. The purpose of this study was to perform rhythmic breathing exercises in response to the reduction of anxiety in patients undergoing tympanoplasty surgery.

This semi-experimental study was a group work that was conducted in 2018 in one of the medical centers in Tehran. The study population included all patients undergoing tympanoplasty surgery. Samples of the study were selected by simple random sampling method according to the criteria of entry among patients who were candidates for tympanoplasty surgery. Rhythmic breathing training was selected in two situations (The night before the operation in the ward and the morning of the operation in the operating room) and patientschr('39') anxiety levels were measured twice (before and after surgery).

Based on the findings of this study, the mean age of the studied cases was 43.16 with a standard deviation of 12.16. Most of the cases were women (60.4%) and the level of education was high school graduates and higher (79.2%). The results also showed that patientschr('39') anxiety before and after rhythmic respiration decreased in the two positions of the inpatient ward and operating room and the difference was significant (P <0.05).

Rheumatic respiration method as a non-invasive, safe, easy and cheap intervention can be used to reduce the anxiety of patients undergoing surgery, tympanoplasty surgery. Therefore, the use of this method is recommended for nurses to improve the health of patients.

Aims and Pain is one of the most important complications in postoperative Orthopedic Patients. Today, various non-pharmacological methods are used for pain relief after surgeries. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Allah recitation and rhythmic breathing on postoperative pain in Orthopedic Patients.
This is a three-group randomized clinical trial in which 90 patients were selected by available sampling and then randomized into 3 groups of Allah’s recitation, rhythmic breathing and control. In the group of Allah’s recitation, honorable recitation of “In the Name of the Merciful God, There is no power but from God, O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and his family “ was repeated calmly for 100 times,. In rhythmic group, rhythmic breathing was performed after training by “Hey-Hu” method. Intervention in each group was performed for approximately 20 minutes. Pain intensity was measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data analysis was performed by One-way repeated ANOVA tests and repeated measures with SPSS software version 20.
Findings: 21 patients (70%) were males and 23 (76.6%) were married and they had the average age of 36.4± 13.6 years. There eas a significant relationship between the average of pain intensity in stages of postoperative period (p Allah’s recitation and rhythmic breathing are effective and can be used to reduce the pain after orthopedic surgery.

Coronary artery disease is the most common cardiovascular disease and cause of a lot of deaths worldwide. In patients with this disease, symptom management is performed both pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Rhythmic breathing is one of the non-pharmacological proposed methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rhythmic breathing on the cardiorespiratory parameters in Acute Coronary Syndrome patients admitted at CCU.
In this clinical trial, 80 patients with acute coronary syndrome were randomly divided into two interventional and control groups. The intervention group performed the rhythmic breathing for 20 minutes every 5 minutes once and it took 1 minute, and any intervention was not performed in the control group, but routine medical procedures were similar in both groups. Before and after the intervention, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and oxygen saturation were recorded. The study instrument consisted of a demographic questionnaire and a data sheet for recording physiologic parameters, and the data were analyzed by using SPSS software. P values less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Based on the findings, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in systolic blood pressure (P=0.65), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.53), respiratory rate (P=0.12), the rhythm of respiration (P=0.74), heart rate (P=0.61), the rhythm of the heartbeat (P=0.5) and arterial oxygen saturation (P= 0.67).
Despite the lack of significant findings in this study, rhythmic breathing can be conducted in other cardiovascular diseases with a larger sample size, profiting from its potential benefits.

Patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis are repeatedly exposed to stress and pain from approximately 300 punctures per year to their arteriovenous fistula. Patient comfort with the procedure is therefore of greatest importance for long-term compliance with the treatment and until a successful renal transplant. This study was conducted to determine the effect of rhythmic breathing on pain intensity when the needles are inserted into vascular access for hemodialysis. Methods & Materials: This was a quasi -experimental one-group time-series study. Thirty five patients in hemodialysis ward of Hamadan Besat hospital entered into the study via convenient sampling method. In this study، pain intensity during the insertion of hemodialysis vascular needles was measured in six sessions through two methods of routine intervention and rhythmic breathing. The data were collected using visual analog scale. Paired t-test was used to determine pain intensity mean difference between the two conditions. Overall، the results showed that the mean pain intensities were 5. 45±1. 15 and 2. 19±0. 92 in two conditions including routine intervention and rhythmic breathing، respectively. Paired t-test showed a significant difference between the routine intervention and rhythmic breathing (P<0. 001). These findings showed that rhythmic breathing was effective in reducing pain when the needles were inserted into the vascular access. Therefore، it is recommended to use rhythmic breathing as a simple and non-expensive method to reduce pain in patients before insertion of hemodialysis vascular needles.

Establishing intravenous line (IV catheter) is one of the most common invasive procedures that cause pain in these children. Injection pain in children is so important that is stated as the most stressful aspect of their disease. There are various pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods to prevent and reduce pain. One of the non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain is distraction Comparison of the influence of two distraction methods (Rhythmic Breathing and Bubble Making) on the pain severity of injection procedures for school age children in Kerman Thalassemia Center. The present study is a clinical trial. The research sample consists of 40 thalassemia children with 6-12 years old, who have registered in Kerman thalassemia center. The participants were randomly divided into two groups. In the first experimental group, bubble making was performed and in the second experimental group, rhythmic breathing was carried out. The data gathering instruments were included: demographic information questionnaire, the investigation scale of pain behavioral signs, numeric pain scale. The analysis of the data was carried out through descriptive and analytical analysis. The data indicated that there was not a significant difference between the two experimental groups in the average scores of pain (P>0. 05). There was a reverse and significant correlation between the increase of age and numerical pain scale using Spearman correlation test (rho=- 0. 278, p < 0. 05). There was also a reverse and significant correlation between the increase of age and behavioral pain scale using Spearman correlation test (rho = -0. 359, p < 0. 01). There was a direct and significant correlation between the numerical pain scale and Behavioral one using Spearman correlation (rho=0. 674, p < 0. 001). Based on the result of this study, the two distraction methods (Rhythmic Breathing and Bubble Making) can reduce the pain of injection procedures in children.
