There is a need for further research on nurses' complementary therapy in oxygenation management, where this exercise is one of the nurse's interventions in overcoming decreased SpO2 in pneumonia patients.

EFEITOS DO PILATES VS TREINAMENTO AERÓBIO EM HIPERTENSOS: ENSAIO RANDOMIZADO

ABSTRACT Introduction: The Pilates method (PM) combines slow-deep breathing with strengthening and stretching exercises. However, it has been proposed as a method of physical conditioning for several decades and only recently aroused academic/scientific interest, with few reports of the effects of this intervention in hypertensive patients. Objective: to compare PM to aerobic training (AT) effects on hypertensive subjects’ blood pressure (BP), functional capacity and autonomic balance. Methods: Twenty-four hypertensive subjects were randomly allocated into two groups: ATG performed three 40 min sessions/week, moderate intensity (40-70% of reserve HR), and PMG performed two 60 min sessions/week; both during the same eight weeks period. Blood pressure (casual and for 24 hours), 6-minute walking test (6-MWT) and autonomic balance were evaluated before and after intervention. Results: There was a reduction on systolic BP (SBP, p=0.007), diastolic (p=0.032) and mean blood pressure (MBP, p=0.016), measured on 24h, on PMG. There was also a 24h SBP reduction on ATG (p=0.021). The PMG had a greater reduction on 24h SBP (-3.4 mmHg, 95% CI -6.6 to -0.2) and MBP (-3.3 mmHg, 95% CI -6.3 to -0.3) than the ATG. ATG held a longer distance in 6-MWT. Casual BP and autonomic balance had no difference. Conclusion: This PM protocol was superior to AT on BP monitored for 24 hours in hypertensive subjects, but AT was better for functional capacity. The eight weeks of training were not enough to change the autonomic balance. Level of Evidence: I; High-quality randomized clinical trial with or without statistically significant difference, but with narrow confidence intervals.

Effect of self reiki and slow deep breathing on blood pressure of patients with hypertension

Hypertension presents a significant challenge in Indonesia, commonly encountered in primary healthcare settings. This study aimed to assess the impact of self-administered reiki and slow, deep breathing techniques on individuals with hypertension. The research comprised 78 participants, split into two groups: 39 in the control group and 39 in the intervention group. The intervention group practiced self-reiki combined with slow, deep breathing for 21 days, while the control group solely practiced slow, deep breathing for the same duration. Statistical analysis employed the Wilcoxon and Mann‒Whitney tests. The Wilcoxon test yielded a P-value of 0.000 for both Systole and Diastole between the Intervention and Control Groups post-treatment, while the Mann‒Whitney test showed a P-value of 0.002 for Systole and P = 0.000 for Diastole between the Intervention and Control Groups after Treatment. Consequently, it can be deduced that a significant disparity in systolic and diastolic blood pressure exists pre- and post-self-reiki and slow, deep breathing exercises in both the intervention and control groups. These practices demonstrate a significant potential to reduce blood pressure among patients dealing with hypertension.
