ABSTRACT APPLICATION OF BUTEYKO BREATHING TECHNIQUE TO ADDRESS INEFFECTIVE BREATHING PATTERNS IN CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AT DR. FERDINAND LUMBAN TOBING GENERAL HOSPITAL, SIBOLGA CITY, 2026 Rey Amanda Syahputra*, Ns.

This disease is caused by inflammation and narrowing of the muscles around the airways, which can make breathing difficult. At Dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing General Hospital, data on patients with bronchial asthma were recorded over the past several years. In 2023, only 49 cases were recorded, consisting of 22 males and 27 females. Furthermore, in 2024, 57 cases were recorded, consisting of 22 males and 35 females. In 2025, 51 cases were recorded, consisting of 29 males and 22 females (Medical Records of dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing General Hospital, Sibolga City). Objective: To describe the application of the Buteyko breathing technique to address ineffective breathing patterns in pediatric patients with bronchial asthma. Research Method: This study employed a descriptive qualitative design using a case study approach, involving two respondents with bronchial asthma and ineffective breathing patterns. The study was conducted at Dr. Ferdinand Lumban Tobing General Hospital, Sibolga City, in the year 2025. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and document analysis. Results: Buteyko therapy is effective in addressing ineffective breathing patterns, with results showing that in Patient 1, the respiratory rate (RR) decreased from 35 breaths/minute to 26 breaths/minute. In Patient 2, the respiratory rate decreased from 33 breaths/minute to 25 breaths/minute. Conclusion and Recommendation: It has been proven that the application of Buteyko breathing technique therapy can reduce ineffective breathing patterns. It is hoped that this therapy will continue to be used to effectively address complaints of ineffective breathing patterns.
