Description:
Using a Portable Visualized Device for Self-Directed Breathing Training
Arm group label:
Visualized Self-Training
Summary:
Breast cancer DIBH (Deep Inspiration Breath Hold) radiotherapy represents a
high-precision treatment approach that substantially minimizes radiation exposure to
vital organs such as the heart, thus enhancing protection of the patient's heart, lungs,
contralateral breast, and other normal tissues compared to conventional radiotherapy
techniques. This method requires meticulous precision, necessitating that patients
possess exceptional respiratory control, which is facilitated through specialized
equipment. Without such control, patients may encounter issues like missed targets,
significant setup errors, and extended treatment durations.
In this study, the research team employed portable devices to enable patients to
independently perform daily respiratory training exercises. The control group received no
such devices; instead, these patients were merely instructed verbally on the importance
of improving their breath-holding capabilities. The effectiveness of this intervention
was evaluated by comparing the daily setup errors between the two groups. Additionally,
the intervention's influence on patient outcomes was assessed by monitoring the toxicity
and side effects experienced by the patients.
