Using slow deep breathing for patient with hypertention having ineffective tissue perfusion

Abstract

Hypertension is blood pressure that exceeds normal limits where systolic blood pressure> 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure> 90 mmHg. To overcome this, it is necessary to do non-pharmacological therapy, namely the application of Slow Deep Breathing Exercise. This study aims to apply the application of Slow Deep Breathing Exercise to decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension with ineffective brain tissue perfusion. The method used in this research is a case study, with a sampling technique that is purposive sampling. The results of this study indicate that the application of Slow Deep Breathing Exercise can reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension with ineffective brain tissue perfusion. The application of Slow Deep Breathing Exercise can lower blood pressure by activating the autonomic nerves so that vasodilation occurs in blood vessels.
