NEED FOR THE STUDY:

One example of an evidence-based intervention is the use of care bundles. These are simple
tools used with the aim of reliably achieving delivery of clearly specified elements of care.
Care bundles are sets of evidence- based interventions, elements of which are known to
optimise the clinical outcomes. A bundle is a structured way of improving the process of care and
thereby improving patient outcomes.

In 2015, nearly 3.2 million global deaths were reported due to COPD (5% of overall deaths)
globally in 2015,6309 million disability – adjusted life years (DALYs).
according to the 2017 GBD study, of all the chronic respiratory diseases, COPD contributed
50% of all cases and 69% of years lived with disability.

In 2020, aroud 5.6 percent of adultsed 18 years and older in the united states had chronic
