Abstract

This is a clinical trial study was performed to assess the impact of position change on heart bear
and respiratory rate in warfare victims with COPD .
In this study 3l patients were rested in supine, semifowlers, prone, right and left lateral positions.
And heart beat and respiratory rate measured by monitor & chronometer each 0, 5 and l5 min.
The results of this study showed that position change to semifowlers at 0 and 15 minutes
(P=0.005) to left lateral at 0 and 5 min .(p = 0.004), lead to change pulse rate, also the comparison
of various changes of position in the same time in supine, semifowlers positions were statistically
significance (P=0 . 005) , i.e. pulse rate increased when changed supine to semifowlers position .
Also. in various positional changes weren’t effect on respiratory rate at least l5 minutes.
In generally, we recommended that selecting position regarding to patient’s well being feeling.
