Abstract
Droplets from patients who are positive for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) are the means by which pulmonary TB, a protracted infectious illness, is spread to other individuals. The Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) is one of the interventions that does not involve the use of pharmaceuticals and has the potential to enhance oxygen saturation. The objective of this research was to investigate the impact that ACBT treatment has on the enhancement of oxygen saturation levels in patients suffering from pulmonary TB who were treated at the Bojong Nangka Primary Health Center in Tangerang. For the purpose of this investigation, a quasi-experimental approach was used, and a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design was utilized. The total sample consisted of thirty participants. Prior to and during the ACBT intervention, a Purmed pulse oximeter was used in order to determine the level of oxygen saturation. Analysis of the data was carried out with the use of the Paired t-test. According to the findings, the average oxygen saturation rose from 96.40% to 98.37% (p = 0.000), indicating a significant increase. ACBT treatment is a useful method for raising oxygen saturation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, and it may be used as a nursing intervention that does not involve the use of pharmaceuticals.
